Active-Duty Air Force Major Arrested for Calling to Impeach Trump

An active-duty Air Force major was arrested on the Capitol steps this week for calling on President Trump to be impeached. His name is Jason Watson, a twenty-year logistics readiness officer on leave from a NATO post in Poland.Watson asked the group Removal Coalition, founded by Jessica Denson , to organize the event. He stood on the steps in uniform, held a sign reading Impeach Convict Remove, and said the strikes on Venezuela and Iran violated the War Powers Clause and killed thirteen service members.The Capitol steps are a no-protest zone unless you are accompanied by a member of Congress. Watson was escorted up by Democratic Rep. Al Green of Texas, who has forced impeachment votes against Trump this term. The moment Green stepped away, Watson lost that protection and Capitol Police arrested him. As they led him off, the crowd chanted “who do you serve, who do you protect.”The piece sits Watson’s arrest next to the January 6 pardons: the people who violently stormed these same steps walk free, while an active-duty officer who stood on them peacefully with a sign left in handcuffsSourceshttps://thehill.com/policy/defense/5951658-air-force-major-arrested-capitolhttps://www.reutersconnect.com/item/us-air-force-officer-arrested-at-capitol-calling-for-trump-impeachment/dGFnOnJldXRlcnMuY29tLDIwMjY6bmV3c21sX01UMU5VUlBITzAwMEtJRTRFWg Get full access to The Rogue Voice aka Linsay Rousseau at linsayrousseau.substack.com/subscribe
