The unhinged left was on full display Tuesday as screaming liberal protesters disrupted not one but two separate Congressional hearings.
Unfortunately, Trump Derangement Syndrome remains alive and well among Democrats in America.
In the first display of leftist lunacy, FBI Director Kash Patel’s testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee was interrupted by anti-Israel agitators from Code Pink.
Sen. Tom Cotton had clearly anticipated trouble. The Arkansas Republican opened the hearing with a stern warning to the packed room.
“We will not tolerate any disruptions of the witnesses testimony or the senators’ questions and the witnesses’ answers,” Cotton declared. “Any disruptions, either opposed or in favor to the witnesses will result in prompt removal from the hearing room.”
“My encouragement to the U.S. attorney is to throw the book at the person disrupting the hearing,” Cotton warned. “No offense, but we all came to hear the witnesses and no one else in the room.”
Predictably, the leftist agitators didn’t wait long. During Director Patel’s testimony, a Code Pink activist started yelling about “stop funding Israel,” forcing Capitol Police to drag the protestor from the room.
Cotton didn’t mince words about what had just happened.
“That protestor was a Code Pink lunatic, saying the greatest threat saying that the greatest threat to world peace is funding Israel,” Cotton stated firmly. “I will observe, for the benefit of the audience here and on television, that Code Pink is funded by Communist China, as well.”
This isn’t just Cotton’s opinion. The New York Times reported in 2023 that Code Pink receives significant funding from an American billionaire who “works closely with the Chinese government media machine and is financing its propaganda worldwide.”
Just as Cotton was making this point, another pink-clad protestor began shouting, forcing the Capitol Police to remove them.
“If anyone else would like to join them, speak now, please, so we don’t have to have any more disruptions,” Cotton said. “As I was saying, the fact that Communist China funds Code Pink which interrupts a hearing like this about Israel simply illustrates Director Gabbard’s point that China, Russia, Iran, North Korea and other American adversaries are working in concert to a greater degree than they ever have before.”

Meanwhile, at former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee’s confirmation hearing for U.S. Ambassador to Israel, the same type of performance art was on display.
“Distinguished members of the committee, I want to say thank you very much for the…” Huckabee had managed to say before he was cut off by some kind of prolonged, ululating wail from another protestor. A second agitator began shouting something about American Jews.
Once order was restored, Huckabee quipped: “I will mark them down undecided, Senator.”

All jokes aside, the increasingly unhinged behavior seen from the left raises legitimate security concerns. Starting with the Butler, Pennsylvania assassination attempt on Trump and through this week’s attempted bombings of a Tesla showroom in Texas this week, disruptions aren’t just an embarrassing nuisance.
The Trump administration continues to deliver results — from shutting the U.S. Southern border to removing violent gang members to uncovering government waste through DOGE. With each success, the left’s anger grows as America prospers.
And judging by Tuesday’s performances, they’re desperate to let America know they’re out of ideas.
