Trump targets CODEPINK after public confrontation

Activists from the anti-war group CODEPINK confronted US President Donald Trump and his cabinet at a restaurant in Washington, DC on September 9. The disruption made national headlines and (evidently) sent the Trump administration into a frenzy.  

At the restaurant on September 9, peace activists got surprisingly close to Trump and cabinet members including Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, shouting “Free DC, free Palestine, Trump is the Hitler of our time!” Trump appeared to react with visible frustration as he gestured for his security to remove the protesters, saying “Get them out of here.”

Trump has since issued direct threats against the activists who disrupted his dinner. In remarks to press, Trump claimed one of the activists was a “paid agitator,” and is looking into having US Attorney General Pam Bondi to look into bringing RICO charges against the protesters “because they should be put in jail.”
