Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) rebuked a couple of Code Pink protesters interrupting a meeting by the Senate Intelligence Committee, pointing out that the group is “funded by Communist China.”

Cotton made his remark shortly after he attempted to ask FBI Director Kash Patel, one of several U.S. security officials testifying before the committee on Tuesday, about the deportation efforts in the state of Arkansas. Patel only said a few words before a protester loudly chanted, “Stop funding Israel,” before being escorted out.
