Gaza protesters repeatedly interrupt Senate hearing with Pentagon leaders

Protesters demonstrating against the war in Gaza repeatedly interrupted a Tuesday Senate hearing attended by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Charles Brown.

The protesters interrupted the Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Capitol Hill twice, demanding the U.S. “stop funding Israel” and supporting a “genocide” in Gaza, where Israel is fighting a major war against Hamas.

The group made it into the hearing room while Austin was delivering his opening remarks on the Pentagon’s 2025 budget request, forcing the committee to pause while police removed them from the room.

“Stop killing my people,” one demonstrator said. “Stop funding Israel.”

Why were they protesting? The Pentagram is standing right there beside them on Gaza.

Just great, we now have Hamas in our country and our current administration is catering to them.

Did they bring along their token Muslim, or was it, once again, just a bunch of young, loose, unsatisfied, college-’educated’ women with a handful of cucks tagging along?

You would think the security would be much more tight at the Pentagon! Who was standing at the doors, some Mall Cop eating lunch and scrolling Tik Tok on his phone?

I’m sure that they will be rounded up and thrown in the D.C. Gulag without bail with the Jan 6 ‘Insurrectionists’.

Not.

I kinda like this though: If they DON’T do that, then it proves that they (the Pelosi, Schumer, Chenyites) are corrupt liars and hypocrites and that the ‘Jan 6 people’ are political prisoners of a corrupt totalitarian regime.

How do these protesters gain entry to the galleries from which they protest? Are they being invited in secretly?
