'GOP senator claims he was 'de-escalating' as video catches him injuring anti-war Marine'

https://www.rawstory.com/tim-sheehy-2675555269/

My words: Video included

'A Senate Republican claimed he was attempting to "de-escalate" after video emerged of him helping police forcefully remove an anti-war Marine during a mid-hearing scuffle, leading to audible gasps as the man appeared to be injured.

Bystanders accused Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-MT) of breaking the hand of Marine veteran and anti-war activist Brian McGinnis during a break in a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Wednesday. McGinnis put his hand in a doorway to prevent Capitol Police from removing him from the room.'

"De-escalate," my arse! Even though my son forewarned me of this incident, I wasn’t prepared. Vomit-worthy.

This is straight-out fascism. I don’t understand why everyone else was just sitting there with their mouths open, and not protesting or trying to help. WTF is wrong with people?

I hope the guy sues that senator and everyone involved.
