An event sponsored by Chevron in honor of Sen. Lisa Murkowski was interrupted by a radical eco-terrorist group on Thursday in Washington, D.C.
Video footage by Climate Defiance shows people rushing the stage and Sen. Murkowski walking to the side and standing undefended, as people nearby intervene and a brawl breaks out, with people tumbling from the stage.
The group wrote on X that Murkowski is a murderer, who “incinerates us to enrich her cronies.”
Climate Defiance calls itself a “youth-led group using direct action to resist fossil fuels.”
BREAKING: We just shut down a gala honoring U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski. Murkowski is a murderer. She incinerates us to enrich her cronies. As Chevron's top lobbyist gave her an award, we stepped in and stopped the ceremony. Respect us or expect us. ? pic.twitter.com/Q72mHerpdg
