John McCain Slams Anti-Henry Kissinger Protester As 'Low-Life Scum' [View all]

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) called out a protester rallying against former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger at an Armed Services Committee hearing on Thursday, calling him "low-life scum."

"Arrest Henry Kissinger for war crimes!" the protesters chanted while holding up signs. As the chanting went on, McCain could be heard summoning U.S. Capitol Police. In later remarks, he called the protest "disgraceful, and outrageous, and despicable."

"You're going to have to shut up, or I'm going to have you arrested," McCain said as a protester interrupted his remarks. "Get out of here, you low-life scum," McCain added as the protester was removed from the room.

McCain then apologized to Kissinger, who testified about global challenges to national security at the hearing.
