One of the U.S. military veterans arrested for protesting President Donald Trump in Washington, D.C. last week had a short and sweet response when he was asked how it felt to be cuffed at 87 years old.
John Spitzberg was arrested during a veterans’ protest against Trump's military parade to mark the 250th anniversary of the United States Army on Friday in Washington, D.C. Footage captured by other protesters shows him being handcuffed by law enforcement outside the U.S. Capitol.
After Spitzberg was released from custody, journalist Chuck Modio caught up with the veteran and asked him how it felt to be arrested at age 87.
"I'm just beginning, my friend," Spitzberg replied. He added that he needed to "get a little sleep" before he starts protesting again.-greenman
