The ex-Marine who was forcibly removed by police from a congressional hearing for protesting Wednesday said the incident made him “only more determined” to continue his candidacy for the U.S. Senate.
Brian McGinnis is running as the Green Party candidate in North Carolina’s election to replace outgoing Sen. Thom Tillis (R). The anti-war activist could be heard shouting, “No one wants to fight for Israel,” as he was pushed out of the hearing room.
“And for the record, I’ve been running long before this, and yes even after breaking my arm standing up for what I believe in,” McGinnis wrote in a post on the social platform X.
“It’s only made me more determined,” he continued. “Anger is real, and so is resolve. Take care.”
Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-Mont.) joined U.S. Capitol Police in pushing McGinnis out of the Senate Armed Services Committee hearing room. The retired Marine sergeant resisted by sticking his arm in the exit doors.
