Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr.'s Senate hearing on Wednesday was immediately thrown into chaos when several protesters, including a co-founder of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, began screaming, causing them to be removed.
“You’re killing poor kids in Gaza and paying for it by cutting Medicaid for kids here,” Ben Cohen appeared to shout during the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions hearing before being escorted out by U.S. Capitol Police officers.

Prior to the protest, Cohen participated in an "Americans Against Genocide" press conference alongside other speakers such as Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), during which they called on the United States to pressure Israel into lifting its blockade of supplies and food to the people in Gaza.
“We are expected to be good Americans and look the other way as Israel prevents food, water, and medicine from reaching the remaining people of Gaza,” Cohen said at the press conference. “Israel is literally starving them to death. … We will not look away. We will not be silenced. We will do everything we can to get our government to stop being complicit in starving little kids to death.” Most pro-Israel advocates have rejected the characterization of Israel's war in Gaza as a genocide.
The hearing was centered on the HHS's fiscal 2026 budget proposal.

His ice cream kills more kids with diabetes
Ben & Jerry’s hates kids because their product gives them diabetes and kills them.
I’ll bet 100% he’s pro-abortion
Their best seller is the Ben & Jerry’s GI Bleed Cherry Chocolate Stool flavor.
Why are kids on Medicaid?
A long-time, trusted and valued benefactor of the Synagogue of Satan.
I thought Biden beat it.
“You’re killing poor kids in Gaza”
Still better than Ben and Jerry’s KILLING poor kids in the US, given the amount of carbs in their ice cream.

NEW: Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Ben Cohen has a meltdown on Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. before being thrown out of the hearing room.
If he is concerned about Americans’ health, he should look no further than Ben & Jerry’s ice cream.
A pint of Ben & Jerry’s Milk & Cookies ice cream has 1130 calories, 97 grams of sugar, 117 grams of carbs, and 67 grams of total fat”.

Yeah because the DHS runs foreign affairs. Silly grandstanding.
Ben & Jerry’s causes Jerry Nadlerism.
Hamas (aks Iranian) propaganda in the form of ice cream. I haven’t had it for many years, although I did have a fondness for Cherry Garcia. Pity. It sucks when assholes of companies get political.
Meant HHS lol.
Pretty funny 😆
Wouldn't it have been sweet if Kennedy had quietly told Cohen: "Your ice cream has killed many times more American kids than the Israeli anti-terrorist operations in Gaza. YOU are the one who started killing our kids with your high fat ice cream and Hamas started the killing of Israeli kids."
Geezers, Democrats hating other Democrats.
>>“You’re killing poor kids in Gaza and paying for it by cutting Medicaid for kids here,” Ben Cohen appeared to shout..
Clearly you don’t need a lot of intelligence to be an ice cream mogul.
Smells like what happened on J6.
When do the solitary confinements begin?
