Protestors At McConnell’s Office Dragged Out Of Capitol Building
Just as Senate Republicans released their secret Obamacare repeal bill, a group of protestors assembled outside of Mitch McConnell’s office. Under orders from Republican leadership, Capitol Police dragged protesters, many of them in wheelchairs, out of the Capitol.
Here are photos and videos of the disturbing event:
