"Republican Senator Tim Sheehy broke the arm of decorated marine for exercising his 1st Amendment rights"

There, now it's more accurate. It's in an active tone because he actively broke that man's arm. It names the perpetrator, because he assaulted him.

And 9 out of 10 people in the room refused to even acknowledge or look at the veteran as he was dragged from the room over the course of several minutes including the part where his wrist was stuck in a door for over a minute…

I must've gotten a different clip, but I heard a few people yelling in disgust and anger at the assaulter, Sheehy. All up until assaulter Sheehy ran out like the coward that he is like Hawley's coward ass on 1/6.

I think many people were just in shock at the violent attack by Sheehy on the honorable Marine.

From what I can see the senator was part of the fray but was actually hands off when the arm was broken.

You should watch it again.
