The millionaire was one of seven to be hauled out of the dramatic Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee meeting yesterday (May 15), at the US Capitol in\u00a0Washington DC<\/a>.<\/p>\n His demonstration came as RFK Jr. was giving testimony to the committee – having been named the head of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) by\u00a0President Donald Trump<\/a>, back in February.<\/p>\n Shocking footage captured of the incident shows the 74-year-old businessman protesting the war in Gaza and the US’ involvement in it, accusing the government of causing the deaths of Palestinian children.<\/p>\n “You’re killing poor kids in Gaza and paying for it by cutting Medicaid for kids here,” Cohen can be heard shouting before he was apprehended by a cop.<\/p>\n As he was being removed from the premises Cohen could still be heard demonstrating as he shouted: “Congress and the senators need to ease the siege. They need to let food into Gaza. They need to let food to starving kids.”<\/p>\n The entrepreneur has since taken to Twitter, posting: “I told Congress they’re killing poor kids in Gaza by buying bombs, and they’re paying for it by kicking poor kids off Medicaid in the\u00a0US<\/a>. This was the authorities’ response.”<\/p>\n While adding later: “I can’t call myself an American and not put my body on the line.<\/p>\n Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, founders of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream (Gareth Davies\/Getty Images)<\/cite><\/div>\n “For me, our government-funded destruction and slaughter of families living in Gaza is an attack on justice, common decency, and what I had thought was the American way. The American way that Superman used to defend, along with Truth and Justice.”<\/p>\n Earlier on in the day, Cohen is understood to have had attended a pro-Palestine event alongside Democratic Michigan Representative Rashida Tlaib.<\/p>\n During the same meeting, at the same time, one protestor took sight at RFK Jr., shouting: “RFK kills people with AIDs!”<\/p>\n While chants of ‘when Bobby lies, children die’, and ‘anti-vax, anti-science, anti-America’, could also be heard.<\/p>\n The other six protestors, excluding Cohen, were arrested and charged with resisting arrest and assault on an officer.<\/p>\n In the same meeting, the 71-year-old HHS boss was also quizzed on his beliefs about vaccines – having made numerous claims about the harm vaccines can cause, which have been overwhelmingly debunked by experts in the field.<\/p>\n One of those claims were that vaccines cause autism, a theory that has been discredited.<\/p>\n![\"Ben](\"https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&quality=70&width=3840&fit=contain&gravity=auto&url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/blt3350e46dde56d9dd\/682625db06d1c6cdc0fc510e\/ben-and-jerry.jpg\")
