An active-duty Air Force officer was apprehended by Capitol Police after violating military regulations and staging a partisan protest calling for President Trump’s impeachment, undermining the discipline and neutrality expected of service members.
U.S. Capitol Police detained Air Force Major Jason Watson on Wednesday afternoon after he brazenly participated in a news conference on the Capitol’s House steps, demanding the impeachment of President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance. The event, orchestrated by the left-wing Removal Coalition, was attended by Rep. Al Green, a Democrat from Texas notorious for repeatedly introducing baseless impeachment articles against Trump. Watson claimed he was there because Green was the only member of Congress willing to push this divisive agenda, asserting that civil resistance was necessary to pressure lawmakers.
Capitol Police stated the demonstration was illegal since it was not accompanied by a member of Congress, and Watson refused lawful orders to cease his disruptive activity. He was charged with “crowding, obstructing, and incommoding”—serious offenses for service members under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which rightly prohibits contemptuous language toward senior officials to maintain order and respect.
An Air Force spokesperson emphasized that all personnel are required to follow strict laws and regulations governing conduct, both in and out of uniform, highlighting the military’s commitment to discipline and professionalism. Watson, who claimed to be non-partisan, criticized the administration’s foreign policy in Venezuela and Iran and its immigration policies, irresponsibly labeling them unconstitutional and blaming them for military casualties.
The Removal Coalition and Rep. Green’s office did not immediately comment, and Watson could not be reached for comment.
