Earlier this year, during Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s confirmation hearing, three liberal protesters interrupted the proceedings to such a degree that they were hauled out of the meeting by police officers. The protesters were upset by the federal government’s continued support of Israel against Hamas terrorists in Gaza.
One of the female protesters, sporting fatigues, disrupted the hearing by shouting, “Veterans are committing suicide and are homeless, but we send money to bomb children in Gaza.” She was promptly escorted out of the hearing by police. Hegseth was making a passionate speech before the Senate Armed Services Committee as he was questioned by lawmakers ahead of their vote on his confirmation.
