"The moment came as the protester, carrying a sign that read Hands off Venezuela, sprang to his feet and began shouting as Rubio delivered his opening statement before the Foreign Relations Committee. Risch, the committee's chairman, was indignant as he ordered the protester out of the chamber. All right, here we go, Risch said as he pounded his gavel. Suspend. You know the drill. Off to jail."
"As he was led away, the protester shouted, That's a war crime! That's a one-year ban from the committee, Risch retorted. Anyone who's a persistent violator will be banned for three years. So, don't know if this guy falls in that category. Looks like it. After three years, he'll find a more productive means of employment. Rubio was on hand to face questions from lawmakers on President Donald Trump's Venezuela policy after the U.S. raid that led to the capture of former despot Nicolas Maduro."
A protester carrying a sign reading 'Hands off Venezuela' stood and began shouting during Secretary of State Marco Rubio's opening statement before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Committee chairman Sen. Jim Risch ordered the protester removed, pounded his gavel, and directed sergeants to suspend the individual. Risch announced an immediate removal 'Off to jail' and said the interruption amounted to a one-year committee ban, noting persistent violators face three-year bans. Risch added that after three years the protester could find a more productive means of employment. Rubio was present to face questions about President Donald Trump's Venezuela policy following a U.S. raid that captured Nicolas Maduro.
