As Blinken began his remarks, he was immediately interrupted by protesters, notably one who called him 'Secretary of genocide,' highlighting the passionate opposition to U.S. policies concerning Gaza.
Committee Chairman Rep. Michael McCaul intervened, stating that 'disrupting committee proceedings is against the law,' reinforcing the necessity of decorum while addressing the importance of the issues raised.
Despite his efforts to speak respectfully about fallen heroes, Blinken found his message lost in the chaos, as demonstrators yelled accusations regarding his and the U.S. military's actions in Gaza.
One protester passionately confronted Blinken: 'You're a father! I don't know how you can sleep at night when you're killing so many kids!' which encapsulated the emotional nature of the protest.
