Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-MT) allegedly broke the hand of Brian McGinnis, a decorated Marine officer who protested the Iran war during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Wednesday. Sheehy was assisting Capitol Police officers attempting to eject McGinnis from the hearing.

A CBS News reporter recorded video of the incident and posted it to X. In the video, Capitol Police officers struggle with McGinnis as he resists being escorted out of the room. McGinnis then holds onto a doorknob as leverage as he yells about how soldiers don’t wish to die for Israel, a reference to Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s claim that the U.S. attacked Iran in premeditation of possible retaliation from a possible preemptive strike by Israel.
