Senator Sheehy Accused of Breaking Iran War Protester's Arm During Capitol Removal

Montana Senator Tim Sheehy is accused of breaking an Iran war protester's arm during a physical confrontation at the Capitol, in an incident that critics are calling 'unhinged' and supporters are defending as justified action against disruptive demonstrators. Brian McGinnis' arm was broken as Sheehy and Capitol police removed him from the building during protests against Operation Epic Fury. The incident reflects the superheated atmosphere on Capitol Hill as the Iran war generates increasingly vocal domestic opposition, and raises questions about the appropriate use of force by elected officials against constituents exercising their right to protest.
