Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says an insurrection is taking place at the U.S. Capitol after pro-Palestinian demonstrators in large numbers made their way inside Capitol Hill’s Cannon Rotunda.
The House Committee offices are located in the Cannon House Office Building.
“There’s an insurrection happening now on Capitol Hill,” said Rep. Greene, posting a video of the happenings.
The US Capitol Police are attempting to disperse the throng and have declared that protests are not permitted within Congressional Buildings.
“Ceasefire” chants are resonating throughout the building, and some people have already been taken into custody by the police.
The conflict between Israel and Hamas has resulted in a number of protests in the Washington, D.C., area in recent days as well as around the world.
A demonstration against Israel’s war with Hamas is scheduled for this Wednesday, and fencing has been erected around portions of the US Capitol overnight.
