Pro-Palestinian Protesters Storm Capitol Hill, Prompting Accusations of “Insurrection”
Capitol Hill was thrown into chaos on Wednesday as passionate pro-Palestinian demonstrators flooded the area, leading many to label their actions as an “insurrection.” Georgia Republican Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene took to social media to share a video of the protesters, declaring the situation an “insurrection.”

In her video, Greene not only captured the presence of dozens of protesters inside the Cannon House Office Building, but also the scene of hundreds of pro-terror supporters outside the building.
“They claim to want peace, but they support terrorists. They say ‘let Gaza live,’ but Hamas has killed innocent Israeli citizens, and these people are blaming Israel,” Greene passionately expressed in her video.
“You know what? They should remove Hamas from Gaza.
“Hand them over and let them face trial for their crimes,” Greene added.
Additional videos showcased the pandemonium caused by the protesters inside the Old House Office Building.
Spencer Brown, managing editor of Townhall.com, pointed out that Capitol Hill police have prohibited protests and demonstrations in the Capitol and its surrounding congressional office buildings.

Many view these protests as reminiscent of the events on January 6, 2021, which Democrats labeled as an “insurrection” and resulted in severe sentences for those arrested.
