A Marine Corps veteran suffered a broken arm as he was dragged out of a hearing in the US Capitol by police and a senator.

Brian McGinnis called out during a Senate Armed Services subcommittee hearing in protest of the US attack on Iran.

Three Capitol Police officers grabbed McGinnis and attempted to drag him out of the room.

The officers were joined by Senator Tim Sheehy, who joined them in trying to pull him away.

McGinnis, a Greens Party candidate for a Senate seat in North Carolina, has been charged with resisting arrest and three counts of assaulting a police officer.

      Genuinely no one did anything right in their attempt to remove him from the room. That’s actually impressive. We know just punishments will not be meted out without the action of the people.
