A U.S. Air Force major was arrested on Wednesday after staging a protest calling for President Donald Trump's impeachment.

Major Jason Watson held a sign calling for Trump to be removed from office on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, where protests are prohibited unless participants are accompanied by a member of Congress.

Initially, Watson had been accompanied by the Texas Democratic Congressman Al Green, but when he left the area, police said he would need to stop his protest or be arrested.

First- this guy is a dumbass.

But... it's interesting he only got to "protest" in the presence of the Geico Caveman. What’s up with THAT?

Lastly... this guy is a dumbass and deserves any and all consequences coming his way for protesting in uniform.

Communist are diseased animals. The only way to deal with a diseased animal is to put them down before the disease spreads. It’s science

No, he just needs to be dishonorably discharged.

Quite the publicity stunt, I am sure this will do a lot to help them impeach Trump!

No, but he needs to be kicked out of the military immediately.

why the frick do they keep trying to impeach? even if they were to, it wouldn't matter - why waste your time, energy or career for something that is pointless?

Shot for disagreeing with current administration? Guess it's not the land of the free that you want it to be.

The day he joined the military. UCMJ has much harsher guidelines and punishments than Constitutional law does.

The sooner the better. Or at least the consequences of trying to overthrow the government. We've let it slide for way too long.

It’s pretty funny watching a Chair Force baw struggle going up a few steps

“Logistics readiness officer”

Imagine how much paperwork this hero had to deal with

He’ll probably be court martialed and discharged with a General Discharge or lower.

Y'all are ate the frick up.

That said, speech isn't speech without consequence. He likely knew that he was going to be punished by the military for protesting. That's a risk that you take.

No, but he should be court marshaled.

Oh, and...,.

Read the UCMJ lately? He's violating UCMJ 88, 92, probably 94, and 134.
