U.S. Capitol Police announced on Thursday that it arrested more than 300 people for "unlawfully demonstrating" in the senate office building for their protests in opposition of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
In a statement, the police said that 293 people were arrested and charged with Crowding, Obstructing, or Incommoding at the Hart Senate Office Building.
An additional nine people were arrested and charged with Crowding, Obstructing, or Incommoding for protesting on the fourth floor of the Dirksen Senate Office Building.
"The individuals arrested are being processed on site and released," the statement read. "At this time, we are unable to confirm the names of those arrested due to the large number being processed."
The announcement came after hundreds of people descended on Capitol Hill to protest Kavanaugh's potential confirmation.
The protests occurred a week after Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee about her allegation that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her at a high school party in the 1980's.
Kavanaugh has fiercely denied the accusation.
Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) announced on Thursday that an FBI investigation into Kavanaugh showed no corroboration to Kavanaugh's claims.
But Democrats have railed against the report over the scope of the investigation.
The protestors in Washington D.C., began their demonstration at the nearby E. Barrett Prettyman United States Courthouse in the early afternoon and marched over to the Supreme Court.
They then made their way to the Senate office building. Actress and comedian Amy Schumer and actress Emily Ratajkowski, who was spotted next to Schumer, were among those arrested.
Protesters donned T-shirts with phrases like "believe women" and "love over war." They also held signs that said "unfit to serve," "sham process, sham court," and "make integrity great again."
Be interesting to know how many were bussed into DC...And who paid the bills....
This should NOT have been handled this way; throw these CRIMINALS in jail and fine them too!
The left hates elections.
I’ll wager that 75% of those individuals arrested have outstanding student loans and that the majority of those with the student loans and arrested are in arrears. Just a guess mind you.
Soros paid and 100s were bused in.
HEY HEY HO HO.................you fill in the rhime. LOL
Bear spray and cattle prods? Yeah, I know. Sigh.
If Republicans fall for this crap and allow these Commie loons to dictate how they vote they deserve to be thrown out of office..CONFIRM KAVANAUGH!!
I would like to see a minimum sentence of 5 days in jail for disrupting the Country’s business. Don’t think a fine is the only way as Soros/Steyer will just pay the fine. Jail time necessary. Bread and water perhaps.
Incommoding??
Is that like taking a restroom stall hostage or sumthin’ ?
Should have been 300 summary executions.
Hey, hey, ho, ho,
Julie Switnick (yelling): Who you callin’ a ‘ho?
Crissy Ballsy Fraud has gotta go.
Nice souvenirs for the bus ride home!
.
In the old days they would have gotten a Billy Club Shampoo along with it.
Yes, or maybe, they will have to pay a $50 fine which is provided by their handlers. Regardless, they are released almost immediately and go right back to what got them arrested before. This is nothing but enforcement theater. Unless they are locked up for a while and suffer real consequences, there is no deterrence.
An aside: I Googled “What is alt left”. I gave up after about five minutes as almost every entry told me the horror’s of alt-right, but excluded any mention of alt-left or explained fascinating differences in ideology that exclude the left from being alt.
I don’t need any response to this as we all know what the “alt-left” is, but I found it interesting how if one wants knowledge of such topic, one gets no education, only propaganda out of the leftist Google.
These people should be 'in commoded' if you know what I mean...
