Air Force Major Arrested at Capitol During Pro-Trump Impeachment Protest

An active-duty Air Force major, Jason Watson, was arrested at the U.S. Capitol while advocating for the impeachment of former President Trump and the removal of Senator JD Vance. Watson was part of a demonstration where he called for Congress to impeach and convict Trump, a move that has drawn reactions from various activist groups. The incident raises questions about the intersection of military service and political expression, particularly as Watson was in uniform during the protest. Free Speech For People issued a statement in support of Watson, highlighting the importance of peaceful protest in a democratic society.
