Multiple Democratic lawmakers were arrested at an abortion rights protest in Washington, D.C. Tuesday.

The rally took place less than a month after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

Protesters gathered at the capitol building before walking to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Representatives Ilhan Omar, Cori Bush, Jackie Speier, Alma Adams and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez were among the 17 members of Congress taken into custody. A total of 35 people were detained.

The group knew they would likely be arrested but took part anyway in order to draw attention to their cause.

U.S. Capitol Police said on Twitter that the demonstrators were blocking traffic and that they were given the traditional three warnings before being arrested.

I’d be so embarrassed to call myself a Democrat. Their voters actually fall for this theater?

They pretended to be arrested at a fund raising stunt! Plain & simple! They should be in jail for real!

Imagine being so privileged you get no fine and no jail time for breaking the law.

Wish them the best in fake jail. The fact they’re willing to fake this for the tv programming and the media is willing to play along tells you everything you need to know about their deceptive character.

Man it'd be nice if these politicians just developed actual skill sets or provided some type of good instead of pandering for votes to make money.
