Senate Foreign Relations Committee/screen grab
A protester alleging U.S. war crimes interrupted Secretary of State Marco Rubio at a hearing on Venezuela.
While he was speaking before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday, Rubio was interrupted by a protester with a sign reading "Hands off Venezuela."
The protester could be heard shouting about "war crimes."
"All right, here we go," Chairman Jim Risch (R-ID) stated. "Suspend! You know the drill. Off to jail."
"That's a one-year ban from the committee," he added. "Anyone who is a persistent violator will be banned for three years. So don't know whether the guy falls in that category looks like it. I hope after three years you'll find a more productive means of employment."
"There'll be a couple more," Rubio predicted.
