Confirmation hearings have quickly become a prime target of protesters during President Donald Trump’s time in office, with frustrated voters confronting lawmakers in the corridors of Congress or occasionally dressing up like a Monopoly man. On Thursday, some new creatures emerged during a hearing for Acting Interior Secretary David Bernhardt: a knot of swamp monsters hovering over the official’s shoulder.
Greenpeace said it helped arranged the monsters on Thursday in protest of Bernhardt’s history of working “to help corporate polluters get their hands on public lands.” — Greenpeace USA March 28, 2019 Irene Kim, a Greenpeace employee who was sitting just behind Bernhardt’s shoulder, said later Thursday she was asked to leave the hearing despite making efforts to stay quiet . Kim said she had lined up at 7 a.m. to get into the event with a colleague and chose to put on the mask when she saw on Twitter that she had appeared on C-SPAN’s footage.
