    I just saw the video and its like. Why is he getting involved? There are like 2 police on him that while he is getting a bit out of control have really not lost control and third one is coming up. There is no reason for a civilian to help in this situation.

        yeah its hard to say if he should be removed as they started the video when it was already active so there is no way to see if he was aggressive to a level to having to be removed and if he was given any warnings or anything.

      Politicians aren’t like regular people, they have a finely attuned sense of when they’re in the presence of a potential photo op.

      Why is he getting involved?

      I hate to defend a chud Senator, but it kinda looks like the marine has his hand trapped in the door and Sheehy’s trying to get him loose before the cops do further harm. Really hard to say from the shakey camera angle. But it looks like the security goons were going to happily tear his arm straight off if someone hadn’t stepped in.

      There is no reason for a civilian to help in this situation.

      To help the cops? No. To help the marine? There absolutely was.

        Sheehy wasn’t helping anyone other than his own undeserved ego.

        Motherfucker cosplayed as a hero and broke someone’s arm in the process. He ought to be charged with assault.

          And then he went on Twitter and bragged about it, as if attacking a man who’s already been mobbed by three shitty cops isn’t punk bitch behavior.

        From Tim Sheehy’s post on the X formerly known as Twitter, dated March 4th, 2026:

        Capitol Police were attempting to remove an unhinged protestor from the Armed Services hearing. He was fighting back. I decided to help out and deescalate the situation. This gentleman came to the Capitol looking for a confrontation, and he got one.

        Straight from the horse’s ass, as it were.

        Rewatching the video(s), I’d posit that Tim’s “help” was 100% ineffectual in every possible way here, save for stalwortly upholding the GOP’s demonstrably false claim of “supporting the troops.”
