Ben Cohen, the Ben in the famous ice cream company Ben & Jerry's, was one of several people who disrupted a Senate committee hearing on Wednesday when US health secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr was speaking.
The co-founder of Ben & Jerry's has been arrested after disrupting a Senate hearing with a pro-Gaza protest.
Ben Cohen, Ben of the famous ice cream company Ben & Jerry's, was one of seven people arrested at a Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee hearing on Wednesday, Sky News' US partner NBC News reported.
Robert F Kennedy Jr was speaking to the committee when the protests started with someone shouting: "RFK kills people with AIDs!"
When Bobby lies, children die," is also heard, as well as: "Anti-vax, anti-science, anti-America" in reference to Mr Kennedy's vaccine views.
Police quickly flooded into the room and began dragging out protesters.
Moments after, Mr Cohen got to his feet and accused the US government of playing a role in the deaths of children in Gaza.
The ice cream boss can be seen in footage of the incident on his feet, gesturing as he shouted at the US health secretary.
"You're killing poor kids in Gaza and paying for it by cutting Medicaid for kids here," shouted Mr Cohen.
He is one of the last protesters hauled out of the room.
But even as he's removed, he can still be heard shouting.
"Congress and the senators need to ease the siege. They need to let food into Gaza. They need to let food to starving kids," he said.
The other six protesters were charged with resisting arrest and assault on an officer, NBC News said.
Earlier on Wednesday, Mr Cohen had attended a pro-Palestine event with Democratic Representative Rashida Tlaib.

FTA: "It is said the real death toll in Gaza is higher because thousands of bodies remain buried under the rubble or in areas that medics cannot access." Well then they should get off their lazy asses and extract those bodies. They could be a bio hazard.
Screw it! Just let the IDF level Gaza once and for all and turn it into the world's largest drifting course.
The killer of millions with his sugar laden high fat concoction complains about a nation defending itself against execrable terrorists. Nice.
Do they serve ice cream in prison?
Insurrection.
They’re blaming RFK Jr. for AIDS killing people??? HAHAHAHAHA They NEED TO LOOK AT FAUCI!!! Dumbasses.....they know nothing.
THROW THE POS LIB IN JAIL INDEFINATELY JUST LIKE THEY DID THE JAN 6ers WHO DID NOTHING LIKE THIS
He should go to Gaza and try to advocate from there. I am sure the animals would be on their best behaviour for him.
Remember when all the b&j ice cream trucks were overturned and burned? Yeah, me neither.
Raising the SALT deduction limit should be tied to Medicaid reform so Republicans in high-tax Blue states will support Medicaid reform.
Start with $2/month Medicaid premiums and raise them by $2 for each month and each ER use. The time-based Medicaid premium amount to not exceed the monthly Medicare premium.
The amounts for children under 18 might be half.
Premiums to be lowered by $1 for each week of subsequent employer PPACA-scope coverage.
Congress needs to have a “no-admittance” list similar to the no-fly list for air flights for disrupters like these; that is, once entered onto said list, said disrupters will never be admitted to Congressional chambers or committees unless specifically invited by a majority of attending members ...
No bail, time in prison, still better than J’6ers got.
“FAUCI”
It was his job to shepherd COVID vaccine development.
Not all pharmaceutical products work great or are without substantial side effects.

Wasn’t this the same left wing nut that was all about prosecuting the J6’ers for treason for ‘disrupting a Congressional event’? I hope, and actually pray, that he gets: A) 1 year in DC prison before access to a lawyer. B) have a flaming nut conservative activist as a judge C) His trial happens in Rural Western Kansas or Nebraska D) He now is on a ‘terror watch list’ E) Serves many many years in federal prison like Leavenworth.
Then I want to hear all of the other liberals say who this treatment is unconstitutional......
Uh. OK . . . .
Who do people with AIDS have to blame ? Cmon man
Guy is one of the biggest losers on the planet.
Ben Cohen claims to be a follower of Jesus Christ!

I honestly don’t understand all the self hate by whites or Jews. If the barbarians get their way, they would exterminate us in a heartbeat.
hoping that evil basturd winds up in prison for a very very LONG time...
it is unbelievable sometimes just how so many highly “privileged” (I hate that term, but anyway you get what we mean) people are so incredibly immoral
toss him in Guantanamo and feed him 100 percent BJ icecream
What’s your point?
