Senator Tim Sheehy (R-Mont.) broke the arm of a US Marine who showed up in uniform to protest the war in Iran. Then he bragged about it on social media and righteously got his a** handed to him.
During an Armed Services subcommittee hearing on Wednesday, US Marine Brian McGinnis spoke for millions of Americans when he stood up and declared, “No one wants to fight for Israel.” Rather than let the Capitol Police remove McGinnis, Sheehy decided to physically assault him.
The assault broke McGinnis’ arm as bystanders began shaming Sheehy for his poor treatment of a Marine veteran.
But Sheehy has not apologized for the incident. Instead, he took to social media to downplay it and brag about it.
This is nowhere near “de-escalation” as Sheehy claims. McGinnis was not “unhinged” either. He’s a Marine who is running for office in North Carolina. He deserves respect. Instead, Sheehy and the Capitol Police physically assaulted him and caused him to suffer a brutal injury.
Republicans prattle on about how they supposedly love our troops, only to do this to a Marine who has every right to exercise his freedom of speech and right to protest without being assaulted for it. Sheehy should especially know better since he’s an ex-Navy Seal.
Sheehy’s social media post did not get the response he was hoping for, as veterans and even MAGA supporters had a problem with what he did.
Republicans are in the pocket of the Israelis. They are NOT “America First.” American soldiers are going to end up dying across Iran. Six have already been killed since Donald Trump first ordered the attack in compliance with demands from Israeli dictator Benjamin Netanyahu. Brian McGinnis is a hero because he stood up for our troops, and he should sue Sheehy into the ground.
