Senate Armed Services Committee
Chairman John McCain has kicked protesters out of a budget hearing, calling
them "low-life scum."
The upheaval
came Thursday on Capitol Hill after members of an anti-war group calling itself
Code Pink approached a witness table where former secretaries of state Henry
Kissinger, Madeleine Albright and George P. Shultz were testifying. The
protesters carried signs calling the 91-year-old Kissinger a war criminal.
McCain
blurted out, "Get out of here, you low-life scum."
Capitol
Police removed the protesters from the room.
The
hearing was the third in a series in which the Arizona Republican has called
luminaries from the foreign policy world to share their experiences with
lawmakers on the panel.
