Members of CodePink, a far-left peacenik organization, interrupted a Senate committee meeting by harassing Henry Kissinger until John McCain became really pissed off
Henry Kissinger, a WWII combat veteran and former Secretary of State and National Security Adviser, was awarded the 1973 Nobel Peace Prize for negotiating the U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam. But the far-left has always considered Kissinger a war criminal, accusing him of spreading the Vietnam War into Cambodia and Laos.
On Thursday, Kissinger appeared at a hearing of the Senate Armed Services Committee. The hearing was attended by members of CodePink, a far-left peacenik organization. CodePink peace protesters have been attending and protesting at Congressional committee meetings dealing with the military.
When Kissinger entered the meeting room, he was greeted with shouts of ‘war criminal’ and ‘arrest Henry Kissinger for war crimes.’ Some of the protesters shook handcuffs in Kissinger’s face. The rabble also held up large banners which read, ‘Kissinger War Criminal’ and ‘Arrest Kissinger For War Crimes.’
Sen. McCain, who chairs the committee, was not only upset with the CodePink rabble, but he was also upset because there were no Capitol police officers present.
McCain: “Could I ask our Capitol Police to help instill order here? You know, someone find out where the Capitol Police is?” The senator then turned to the group and told them, “You know, you’re going to have to shut up, or I’m going to have you arrested.”
After the cops arrived, they removed several of the protesters. One of them shouted something at McCain. That did it! The senator shot back, “Get out of here, you low-life scum!.”
That retort earned McCain a loud and prolonged applause from the audience. After the audience quited down, McCain offered Kissinger a profuse apology:
“I've been a member of this committee for many years, and I have never seen anything as disgraceful and outrageous and despicable as the last demonstration that just took place. From all of my colleagues ... I'd like to apologize for allowing such disgraceful behavior towards a man who served his country with the greatest distinction. I apologize profusely.”
But when Kissinger began to testify, the rabble that had not been ejected, started shouting all over again.
Later CodePink tweeted: CODEPINK is proud to be called “low-life scum” by Sen. John McCain for protesting war criminal Henry Kissinger
From the pictures I have seen of the CodePink rabble, it looks like they are college types that have been indoctrinated by Marxist professors. Now here is what I would like to do to those despicable scumbags. Oops, I’d better not say it because I don’t want the FBI coming after my red ass.
