But, but, they have to protect the 'Faker in Chief'.
This adminstration is vile & disgusting. This poor parent lost his son b/c of this sham prez and he gets arrested. They all need to hang!!!
Democrats always try to remove any that talk against them.
He is an American hero plain and simple.
Americans are fed up and we're not taking it any more.
Needs to get worse IMO.
Praying will be soon qa...🙏
If you don't want people talking smack at your event don't invite them to the event.
Biden’s inauguration makes sense now
Well done.
Capitol police escorted the father of a slain U.S. Marine from Southern California out of the State of the Union address after interrupting President Joe Biden's speech on Thursday.
Steven Nikoui, 51, shouted, "remember Abbey Gate," before the United States Capitol Police took him out of the chamber. He was arrested for a misdemeanor. People who illegally demonstrate or disrupt a session of Congress typically receive a $50 fine and are released after payment.
The United States Capitol Police released the following statement about the arrest:
"Our officers warned him to stop and when he did not, the man was removed from the House Galleries and was arrested for D.C. Code § 22–1307 - Crowding, Obstructing, or Incommoding. Disrupting the Congress and demonstrating in the Congressional Buildings is illegal."
Abbey Gate was the site of the 2021 terrorist attack at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, Afghanistan. The blast killed 170 civilians and 13 U.S. service members, including Nikoui's son, Lance Cpl. Kareem Nikoui.
Biden admin, once again, arresting the wrong people
Bravo good sir.
Sidenote, and this is no way intended to minimize the sacrifices made, but I dislike this "Gold Star" stuff. This is the United States of America, we confer no titles of nobility, and we should not recognize any citizens as being better or more special than any other citizens on the basis of having lost a child in service to this Country, or being a teacher, first responder, or former or active duty military.
Arrest Joe Biden
