Marching behind a banner reading, "Staff say kick war criminal out of our capitol," dozens of staff from both House and Senate offices joined the thousands of protesters walking the perimeter of Capitol Hill during Prime Minister Benjamin's address to both houses of Congress.

"We want to show that staff do not always agree with the decisions of their bosses," a staffer from a Democratic senator's office told The Post. "And to humbly and peacefully demonstrate."

The staffer said there wasn't any discussion in her office about walking out, and no one said they could or couldn't protest.
