John McCain Interrupted, Eventually Complimented By Abortion Protester

WASHINGTON ? Capitol Police have removed a man from the Senate gallery after he disrupted proceedings by shouting that abortion is sin, and thanking Sen. John McCain.

At the time of the incident Tuesday, the Arizona Republican was on the Senate floor complaining about leaks of classified information. It was not immediately clear why the man was thanking McCain, but the senator paused and said, quote: "I guess I'll take a compliment where I can get it."

Capitol Police Sgt. Kimberly Schneider identified the shouter as Rives Grogan. Schneider said Grogan was being held and that police charged him with disruption of Congress.
