A wheelchair-bound child wearing an oxygen mask is wheeled out of the Russell Building, home to the Senate offices, by three Capitol Hill police officers, jeers and catcalls following in their wake. An elderly woman, one leg encased in a brace, lies on the floor outside Room 317, Republican majority leader Mitch McConnell’s office. Arms flailing, one leg kicking out, she tries to prevent four police officers from carrying her from the building.
