(CNSNews.com) – Anti-war protesters interrupted the start of the Senate
Armed Services Committee hearing Thursday to protest former Secretary of
State Henry Kissinger – a demonstration that Committee Chairman John McCain
(R-Ariz.) said was “disgraceful,” even calling one protester “low life
scum.”
Before Kissinger could take his seat, anti-wear protesters – some clad in
pink – held up signs chanting, “Arrest Henry Kissinger for war crimes”
and “In the name of the people of Chile, in the name of the people of
Vietnam—”
McCain called for a brief recess so that Capitol Police could restore order.
Afterwards, McCain continued: “I’d like to say to my colleagues and to our
distinguished witnesses this morning that I have, 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.”
One man shouted again, interrupting McCain, to which the senator responded
by threatening to have him arrested.
“You’re gonna have to shut up, or I’m gonna have you arrested,” McCain
said, again calling for the Capitol Police. “Get out of here, you low life
scum,” he yelled at the man. The audience applauded.
“So Henry, I hope you will, Dr. Kissinger, I hope on behalf of all of the
members of this committee on both sides of the aisle. In fact, 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,” McCain told Kissinger. | T*********I
