US Capitol Building, August 24 2024

Anti-Israel agitators have stormed the U.S. Capitol building, with approximately 200 arrests being made in the Canon Rotunda. The agitators did a sit-in to protest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s anticipated speech to Congress.

One elected official, Rep. Dan Kildee, a Democrat, stated that he his interns had to barricade themselves in the office because the agitators were, quote, “violently beating” on all of their doors.  His chief of staff even alleged that they attempted to forcibly enter the office.

Look, the January 6th rioters were wrong, and these people are wrong too. Beating on doors, occupying public buildings and impeding the public’s and staffs access to the building is not acceptable by any means.  Let’s just hope that prosecutors deal with the protestors the way they dealt with the people who were arrested on January 6th.
