In a shocking turn of events, Capitol Police have arrested a man who disrupted a Senate debate on Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill’ with a fiery outburst, declaring, “You people are awful!” The man, identified as Bob McBoberson, reportedly stormed into the Senate chamber dressed as a giant cheeseburger, shouting nonsensical phrases and throwing pickle slices at lawmakers.
Witnesses say McBoberson’s outburst began when Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was speaking about the benefits of the bill, which he described as “the most tremendous piece of legislation in the history of legislation.” This apparently set off McBoberson, who started ranting about the lack of ketchup in the bill and the injustice of putting pickles on a cheeseburger.
“I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw a giant cheeseburger crashing the Senate debate,” said Senator Chuck Schumer. “But I have to admit, he made some valid points about the condiment choices in the bill.”
Capitol Police were eventually able to apprehend McBoberson, who continued to shout insults at lawmakers as he was being led away. “You call yourselves public servants? More like public nuisances!” he reportedly yelled.
In a statement released after the incident, Capitol Police Chief Randy McRandy praised his officers for their quick response. “We take disruptions of Senate debates very seriously, especially when they involve giant cheeseburgers,” he said. “We will not tolerate this kind of behavior in our hallowed halls of legislation.”
As for McBoberson, he is currently being held in custody and is facing charges of disorderly conduct and assault with a condiment. His lawyer, Sally McSally, has issued a statement saying that McBoberson was simply expressing his First Amendment right to protest in a unique and delicious way.
Despite the chaos, the Senate debate on Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill’ eventually resumed, with lawmakers brushing off the incident as just another day in the wild world of politics. As Senator Ted Cruz put it, “You never know what you’re going to get in the Senate. One day it’s a cheeseburger, the next day it’s a hot dog. It keeps things interesting, that’s for sure.”
