During the Senate debate on President Donald Trump’s proposed bill, a man was arrested by Capitol Police for causing a disturbance. The man interrupted the proceedings by shouting from the Senate Galleries that the lawmakers are “horrible.”
Allen D. Rogers, of Florida, was arrested for unlawful conduct after he refused to obey officers’ orders to stop the disruption, according to police.
“At approximately 7:00 p.m., our officers arrested a man who started being disruptive in the Senate Galleries,” police said in a statement.

This incident unfolded as McCormick, the man in question, was observed looking up and to his left into the gallery. At the same time, he kept repeating “the Sergeant at Arms will restore order in the gallery” while another individual, Rogers, was also yelling insults at the lawmakers.
Fox News has reached out to Capitol Police for additional information on this incident.
