Party Foul

At the Capitol Hill Tea Party, TPMDC’s Christina Bellantoni happened upon what looked to be a series of several arrests — for an as-yet unidentified offense. She reports that a crowd of Tea Partiers began heckling Capitol Police and singing “God Bless America” while several people were being detained.

There’s also a massive backup of people outside Longworth office building. They’ve blocked traffic and some supportive cars are honking. Many protesters are shouting, “Kill the bill!”

We’ll have video for you soon.
