Sheehy Charge and Tackle Belligerent Anti-War Marine Veteran at Senate Armed Services Committee Meeting (VIDEO)
The Gateway Pundit ^ | March 4, 2026 | Cristina Laila

Capitol Police Officers and Senator Tim Sheehy tackled a belligerent anti-war Marine Veteran who interrupted the Senate Armed Service Meeting on Wednesday.

Video exclusively obtained by The Gateway Pundit shows the moment Capitol Police Officers tackled the Marine Veteran, identified as Brian McGinnis, after he interrupted the Senate meeting by repeatedly shouting “this is Israel’s war!”

Brian McGinnis is running for election to the US Senate in North Carolina as a Green Party candidate.

Republican Senator Tim Sheehy (MT), clad in a blue suit, also charged at McGinnis and helped the officers eject him from the Committee meeting.

I am not seeing it (that they broke his hand) as he is the one that wrapped his hand around the door before the door shut.

Not sure if you are kidding or not.

He looked to be of the age that he probably served in our last war for Israel and probably watched a bunch of his buddies die for them.

I’d be kind of salty about it too.

Please research the Clean Break memo. They came up with the whole strategy in the 90’s. It is going exactly according to plan.

From the recording Sheehy didn’t “tackle” anyone, just stood ready at the door while the officers dealt with the unbalanced man. Still, that’s more action than what we see out of 98% of congressmen so he does deserves commending.

I would like to see his service vetted as a "Marine veteran". Too many of these guys have inflated or phony backgrounds.

I'm not saying he did that but it has happened too often.

Which was was that? I don’t recall us fighting for Israel. And after 40 years of the nut jobs in Tehran promising to blow us away, is this war for Israel? Really?

That’s what I’m seeing too. But it was funny to see 6 coppers struggling to wrestle down a Marine in dress blues and finding it too much. And one of the coppers had a man bun! lol

He said the war is being fought on behalf of Israel. That is objectively true. It is also not anti-semitic, unless anti-semitism requires bling loyalty to Israel.

Sheehy is a grandstanding rich boy fool. There was no threat, but he had to do his tough guy routine. Reminds me of another eyepatch McCain.

...Because 50 years of Iranians calling the US “Great Satan” and shouting “Death to America” didn’t make an impression...

Their PM has visited the White House 7 times demanding that we do it...He has gone before Congress demanding that we do it...but sure. It’s not for them.

You didn’t read about the Clean Break memo that I suggested?

Advisors for Netanyahu created the strategy in the mid 90’s which drew up the plans for overthrowing Saddam. Those same advisors then became the top advisors for GWB when he got elected and they convinced/demanded/tricked him into/etc... overthrowing Saddam the first chance they got, despite the fact that he had nothing to do with 9/11.

Actually, if he is running as a Green Weenie in the North Carolina Senate race then we should be supporting him no matter how nutty he is. And he may not be all that nutty, despite today’s actions.

Unfortunately Cooper’s (D) margin over Whatley (hopeless R squish) is not going to be close enough that the Greenie will make a difference in the outcome. But any vote for this guy is a vote Cooper doesn’t get, so there’s that.

Bullshiite. Iraq was selling oil in Euros. We fought for the petrodollar. Just like Libya, Russia, Venezuela, Iran, etc.

Do you think that Netanyahu’s advisors who drew up the Clean Break strategy int the 90’s, planning the overthrow of Saddam to “secure the realm” for Israel, just happening to be Bush’s advisors in 2003 when he decided to overthrow Saddam “for the petro dollar”?.....was just a coincidence?

How incredibly lucky for Israel that the plan they came up with in the 90’s was enacted in 2003 by Bush (Iraq), 2011 by Obama (Libya), 2024 by Biden (Syria) and now in 2026 by Trump (Iran)...without it being for them at all. They must truly be the chosen people to get so lucky.

I think it’s BS. Wikipedia is about as reliable as Democratic Underground. You’re stupid if you think America is altruistic and fights wars for nothing

You missed the part where Iran attacked our vessels. This is not to mention the 1979 hostage crisis.
