US: Marine kicked out of Senate for anti-war

An incident occurred during hearings in the U.S. Senate when Brian McGinnis, an American Marine Corps veteran and Senate candidate from North Carolina, began speaking out against military actions in Iran. He stated: "Israel is the reason for this war. America does not want to fight for Israel. Nobody wants to fight for Israel." After this remark, police removed him from the hall. According to eyewitnesses, the man sustained a hand injury during the ejection. Republican Tim Sheehy, who participated in the unusual "takedown" operation, said he "decided to help de-escalate the situation," while the Marine resisted. Incidents of this nature in the US Senate are rare, underscoring the tension between free speech and order within the chamber.
