Government

Ben Cohen, co-founder of Ben & Jerry's ice cream, was arrested and dragged out of a Senate hearing by U.S. capitol police after protesting the war in Gaza during Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s testimony. "You're killing poor kids in Gaza and paying for it by cutting Medicaid for kids here," shouted Cohen, who had attended a pro-Palestine event earlier in the day, referring to Medicaid cuts proposed in the Republican spending bill and U.S. support for Israel's war in Gaza. #benandjerrys #bencohen #
