A PROGRESSIVE ACTIVIST on Tuesday interrupted President Donald Trump’s arrival to Senate Republicans’ weekly lunch by throwing Russian flags and shouting, “Trump is treason.” Trump was walking beside Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
“Why are you talking about tax cuts when you should be talking about treason?” Ryan Clayton shouted from the press pool. “Why is Congress talking about tax cuts when they should be talking about treason?”
According CBSN, the protestor who threw the Russian flags at President Trump and Mitch McConnell has been identified as Ryan Clayton.
Clayton is head of the group Americans Take Action and, as the name suggestions, is no stranger to direct-action tactics.
