    Code Pink activists ushered out by Capitol Police after they demand the arrest of Henry Kissinger for ‘war crimes’; no arrests were made

    US Senate armed services committee chairman John McCain kicked protesters out of a committee hearing Thursday, calling them “lowlife scum” as they hollered for the arrest of one of the witnesses, former secretary of state Henry Kissinger.

    Shortly after Kissinger, 91, took a seat at the witness table, several protesters from the anti-war group Code Pink approached from behind, waving signs and a pair of handcuffs and chanting, “Arrest Henry Kissinger for war crimes.”

    “You know, you’re going to have to shut up or I’m going to have you arrested,” McCain said from the podium, calling for US capitol police to remove them. As officers escorted the protesters out of the hearing room, the unsuccessful 2008 Republican presidential candidate, a decorated Vietnam veteran and former prisoner of war, growled, “Get out of here, you lowlife scum.”

    US capitol police sergeant Kimberly Schneider said three people were removed from the room, but no arrests were made.

    In a statement later, McCain noted a gap between the beginning of the protest and the arrival of officers.

    “With no US capitol police intervening, the episode went on for several minutes,” McCain said. He added that he had spoken with police officials and expects that “those responsible will be held fully accountable for their actions”.

    The upheaval came Thursday during a committee hearing that also featured testimony from former secretaries of state Madeleine Albright and George P Shultz, who were sitting at the witness table with Kissinger.

    Code Pink protesters routinely interrupt congressional hearings and are ushered out by police. But Thursday’s incident was different, McCain said, because the protesters came within inches of Kissinger and waved what appeared to be metal handcuffs near his head.

    No, I'm not "assuming the Ds on this site would report it".

    From the DEMOCRAT Ministry of Information (AKA Congressional Task Force on Digital Citizenship):

    "many Americans are ill-equipped to recognize and sift through false, misleading, or emotionally manipulative posts."

    " there exists a lack of effective information gatekeepers to protect against disinformation threats online."

    "Creating a new multiagency Digital Democracy Task Force to develop a strategy focused on building greater national resilience to online threats and equipping federal agencies with the tools to communicate during disinformation events;
    Addressing the rise of “news deserts” across the country by supporting media literacy programs and investing in quality public broadcasting;
    Dedicating resources and attention to programs that counter the growing threat of online extremism, including through engaging civil society organizations;
    Collaborating with global allies, sharing information, perspectives, and solutions to combat disinformation threats.

    What's false about that?

    They wrote a letter to Biden a month ago. I haven't seen a response but admit this isn't on my list of priorities. My spidey senses tell me this won't be at the top of Biden's list either.

    If by "hope" you mean a federally-funded initiative tasked with deciding what constitutes "disinformation" and "dangerous "propaganda" and taking steps to "counter" and "proactively monitor for disinformation" with "collaboration between government and civic organizations" and "programs within the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice that work to deradicalize individuals in online communities"...

    He's just worried that he will no longer be able to spread his favorite lies and disinformation.

    I suspect a glass of warm milk before bedtime is the usurper's main priority. You seem to think he is the only member of his Administration that works on things.

    Honestly, I believe this will get as much traction as Melania's "be best" initiative.

    What you choose to believe is non-binding on the federal government.

    You do realize that AI has been used for years in the public and private sector to detect "undesirable" content online, don't you?

    These people want to go farther, they want to fund "collaborations" to "counter" what they deem "dangerous" in way that avoids any Constitutional issues.

    I'm not comfortable with a Congressional initiative to "proactively monitor" and "counter" LEGAL online speech by US citizens without probable cause (i.e. a warrant).

    LOL. Agreed. The First Amendment still rules even if people can be arrested for threatening to kill politicians, overthrow the government or falsely scream "FIRE!" in a crowded movie theater to start a panic.

    Yep. Apparently he doesn't understand the concept of First Amendment.
