Ryan Clayton of Americans Take Action is corralled by police after he threw paper Russian flags at Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and U.S. President Donald Trump as they arrived for the Republican Senate Policy Luncheon at the U.S. Capitol October 24, 2017 in Washington, D.C.

As President Donald Trump walked with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in the Capitol building to an afternoon luncheon on Tuesday, a "very unusual incident" occurred: a protester posing as a journalist shouted "Trump is treason" and threw Russian flags in the president's direction.
"This president has conspired with agents of the Russian government," the protester--who identified himself as Ryan Clayton of Americans Take Action--shouted. "We should be talking about treason, not tax cuts."
Watch:
Donald Trump’s attacks on democracy, justice, and a free press are escalating — putting everything we stand for at risk. We believe a better world is possible, but we can’t get there without your support. Common Dreams stands apart. We answer only to you — our readers, activists, and changemakers — not to billionaires or corporations.

Misinformation is spreading, journalists are under attack, and financial pressures are mounting. As a reader-supported, nonprofit newsroom, your support is crucial to keep this journalism alive. Whatever you can give — $10, $25, or $100 — helps us stay strong and responsive when the world needs us most. Together, we’ll continue to build the independent, courageous journalism our movement relies on. Thank you for being part of this community. |
