0:35Now PlayingSeven demonstrators were busted Monday after they barged into and briefly occupied House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) office, according to Capitol Police.
The protesters were seeking a five-year reauthorization of PEPFAR, a George W. Bush-era program that provides government funding for HIV and AIDS treatment, prevention and research.
“Pass PEPFAR now,” the group chanted as security personnel warned that they would be arrested if they remained.
