A couple of protesters made a scene before the start of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday to demand Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s arrest for what they called “war crimes.”
“Arrest Pete Hegseth for war crimes! Arrest Pete Hegseth for war crimes,” one of the protesters yelled from the red carpet as Trump officials were showing up.
The two protesters showed up before the dinner was underway. One wore a Hegseth mask and held up his handcuffed arms while dancing around. The other yelled that Hegseth needs to be arrested “for threatening genocide, for kidnapping Nicolas Maduro, for overseeing target strikes,” referring to “illegitimate” military action in Iran and Venezuela.
The protesters were forcibly removed by security, according to reports.
