Dozens of anti-Israel protesters were arrested Tuesday after storming through a Senate office building and briefly causing the cafeteria to be shut down, according to Capitol Police. NY Post Politics Reporter Ryan King shares this story.
The mob of demonstrators marched inside the Dirksen Senate Office Building at around 12:30 p.m. while chanting phrases such as “Senate can’t eat until Gaza eats!”
“Approximately 50 people were arrested for illegally demonstrating inside the Dirksen Senate Office Building this afternoon. It is illegal to demonstrate inside any of the Congressional Buildings,” Capitol Police told The Post.
Christians for a Free Palestine took credit for orchestrating the demonstration alongside CodePink, a self-described grassroots feminist organization notorious for causing disruptions at numerous congressional hearings.
