蒙大拿州共和党参议员蒂姆·希伊(Tim Sheehy)协助几名警察,将一名在周三国会山听证会上抗议美国与以色列对伊朗战争的男子强行带离现场。
这名抗议者——布莱恩·麦金尼斯(Brian McGinnis),自称是北卡罗来纳州参议院竞选的绿党候选人,同时也是一名海军陆战队退伍军人——随后表示,他在与警方和参议员的冲突中手臂骨折。美国国会警察指控他”暴力”袭击了警察。
事件发生在参议院武装部队小组委员会的听证会上,该听证会有高级军事官员就军事准备情况作证。听证会开始后不到30分钟,麦金尼斯开始大喊,其间他喊道:”美国不想把自己的子女送到以色列的战争中去。”
国会警察试图将身着军装的麦金尼斯从听证室带离。一名反战活动人士向CBS新闻提供的视频显示,麦金尼斯似乎在与警察发生争执。
有一次,当麦金尼斯和警察靠近听证室门口时,希伊离开了讲台,开始协助国会警察将他抬起并带离房间。当局试图将麦金尼斯拉出房间时,他的左手似乎卡在了门和门框之间。希伊随后似乎试图将其松开,此时有人指控他折断了麦金尼斯的手。后来有人问麦金尼斯手是否还好,他回答说:”不好,它断了。”
麦金尼斯后来被警察护送离开房间,而希伊则坐回座位。在房间外,视频中可以听到麦金尼斯说他的左臂骨折了。
绿党官员马克·埃尔伯恩诺(Mark Elbourno)负责麦金尼斯的参议院竞选活动,他告诉CBS新闻,麦金尼斯已被逮捕并送往乔治·华盛顿大学医院。埃尔伯恩诺表示,他不确定麦金尼斯的状况。
美国国会警察在一份声明中称,麦金尼斯因打断委员会听证会,面临三项袭击警察、三项拒捕以及一项”聚集、阻碍和扰乱秩序”(即据称堵塞入口或通道)的指控。
埃尔伯恩诺说,他和麦金尼斯(麦金尼斯是一名消防员)参加了听证会,因为他们想听官员们的意见。他说,麦金尼斯站起来要求参议院停止对伊朗战争的资助,因为他”再也无法忍受他们的谎言了”。
埃尔伯恩诺否认麦金尼斯袭击了警察。
“他没有袭击任何人。……他只是想被倾听(而且)说得很大声很清楚,”他告诉CBS新闻。”实际上,他被袭击了。他们打断了他的手臂。”
国会警察指控麦金尼斯”通过暴力抵抗并对抗我们试图将他带离房间的警察,将所有人置于危险境地”。该机构在一份声明中还表示,麦金尼斯”把自己的手臂卡在门里以抵抗我们的警察并试图强行返回听证室”。声明称,三名警察接受了当地紧急医疗服务的治疗。
国会警察表示:”国会大厦内不允许抗议活动。国会大厦 grounds上有很多其他地方,在外面,是允许示威的。”
希伊在X平台上发帖称,他介入是因为麦金尼斯”反抗”警察,他试图”帮忙并缓和局势”。
“这位先生来到国会是为了制造冲突,而他确实遇到了冲突,”希伊说。”我希望他能在不造成进一步暴力的情况下获得他需要的帮助。”
希伊的办公室未立即回应对进一步置评请求的回应。
GOP senator joins police in ejecting anti-war protester from Capitol Hill hearing
Updated on: March 4, 2026 / 7:37 PM EST / CBS News
Republican Sen. Tim Sheehy of Montana assisted several police officers in physically ejecting a man who interrupted a Capitol Hill hearing on Wednesday to object to the U.S. and Israel’s war with Iran.
The protester — Brian McGinnis, who describes himself as a Marine veteran running as a Green Party candidate in North Carolina’s Senate race — said shortly afterward that his arm was broken during the clash with police and the senator. The U.S. Capitol Police accused him of “violently” assaulting officers.
The incident took place at a Senate Armed Services subcommittee hearing that featured testimony from senior military officials on military readiness. Just under 30 minutes after the hearing began, McGinnis began yelling, exclaiming at one point: “America does not want to send its sons and daughters to war for Israel.”
Members of the Capitol Police attempted to remove McGinnis — who was wearing a military uniform — from the hearing room. McGinnis appeared to struggle with officers, according to a video provided to CBS News by an antiwar activist.
At one point, when McGinnis and police were near the doorway to the hearing room, Sheehy left the dais and began assisting the Capitol Police officers in lifting him up and ejecting him from the room. While authorities attempted to pull McGinnis out of the room, his left hand appeared to get stuck between the door and the frame. Sheehy then appears to try to dislodge it, at which point someone accuses him of breaking McGinnis’ hand. Somebody later asked McGinnis if his hand was okay, and he responded, “No, it’s not.”
McGinnis was later escorted out of the room by police officers while Sheehy sat back down. While outside the room, McGinnis is heard on the video saying his left arm was broken.
Mark Elbourno, a Green Party official who manages McGinnis’ Senate campaign, told CBS News that McGinnis was placed under arrest and transported to George Washington University Hospital. Elbourno said he was unsure of McGinnis’ condition.
In a statement, U.S. Capitol Police said McGinnis is facing three counts of assaulting a police officer, three counts of resisting arrest and one count of crowding, obstructing and incommoding — meaning he was allegedly blocking an entrance or passageway — for interrupting the committee hearing.
Elbourno said he attended the hearing with McGinnis, who works as a firefighter, because they wanted to hear officials out. He said McGinnis stood up and pressed the Senate to stop funding the war with Iran because he “couldn’t take their lies anymore.”
Elbourno denied that McGinnis assaulted the officers.
“He wasn’t assaulting anybody. … He just wanted to be heard [and was] speaking loud and clear,” he told CBS News. “He was assaulted, actually. They broke his arm.”
The Capitol Police alleged that McGinnis “put everyone in a dangerous position by violently resisting and fighting our officers’ attempts to remove him from the room.” The agency also said in a statement that McGinnis “got his own arm stuck in a door to resist our officers and force his way back into the hearing room.” It said that three police officers were treated for injuries by local emergency medical services.
“Protests are not allowed inside the Congressional Buildings,” the Capitol Police said. “There are plenty of other spots on Capitol Grounds, outside, where demonstrations are allowed.”
Sheehy said in a post on X that he got involved because McGinnis was “fighting back” against police, and he sought to “help out and deescalate the situation.”
“This gentleman came to the Capitol looking for a confrontation, and he got one,” Sheehy said. “I hope he gets the help he needs without causing further violence.”
Sheehy’s office did not immediately respond to a further request for comment.
