A Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on Wednesday to hear testimony from Secretary of State Antony Blinken was disrupted on several occasions by anti-war demonstrators who called on the chief US diplomat to push for peace in Ukraine.
The demonstrators were associated with CODEPINK, a grassroots organization focused on peace and human rights.
“If you don’t like the Chinese proposal, where is your peace proposal? The American people want you to negotiate. Be a diplomat. Do your job now,” CODEPINK co-founder Medea Benjamin said, while being escorted out of the hearing by police.
