An anti-Israel protester interrupted Blinken's Senate report, and the man was immediately arrested and dragged out of the room.
At least four anti-Israel agitators were removed by security from a Senate Foreign Affairs Committee hearing as Foreign Secretary Antony Blinken began his department's budget report on Tuesday.
As Blinken began his opening remarks, a man stood up and shouted the name of a 6-year-old boy who had reportedly been killed in Gaza.
“Blinken, we will remember you as the butcher of Gaza,” the man shouted as officers dragged him out of the hearing room. We will remember you because you murdered innocent Palestinians.
When other protesters began to speak, Senator Ben Cardin ordered an officer to remove the woman from the room as well.
