Honestly, Ben Cohen is pretty much known for getting into trouble for speaking out about issues, but this time, it was wild. He got arrested because he stood up during a Senate hearing where Robert F Kennedy Jr was giving testimony. From what I've seen, Ben Cohen started shouting stuff about how Congress was paying for bombs killing kids in Gaza and cutting Medicaid at the same time, which got people's attention real quick. I've seen clips where he literally interrupted everything, and Capitol Police had to drag him out. He wasn't alone either; a few other people protested with him, and they all got slapped with misdemeanors for demonstrating inside the Capitol building. Honestly, I think people like Ben Cohen are just not afraid to call out stuff they think is wrong, even if it gets them arrested over and over.
