Multiple people were eventually escorted out of the room, during which the chairman of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP), Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., paused the hearing.
In video of the disruption posted on X by The Daily Caller, Cohen can be seen getting forcibly pulled out of the hearing room by a Capitol Police officer.

"Members of the audience are reminded disruptions will not be permitted while the committee conducts its business. Capitol Police are asked to remove the individuals from the hearing room," Cassidy said as Cohen was getting wrangled out of the room.
"That was a made-for-C-SPAN moment," Cassidy quipped after things settled down.

Ben & Jerry's has been known for its left-leaning advocacy since its founding in 1978, and the Vermont-based ice-cream maker was able to maintain an independent board of directors to continue its progressive activism even after it sold to Unilever in 2000.
One of those moments includes a decision by Ben & Jerry's in 2021, which ended the sale of its products to Israelis in the West Bank, which the company refers to as "Occupied Palestinian Territory."
