November 5, 2009 Protesters fill Lieberman's office, angry over his health care stance Play video

(NECN: Brian Burnell, Hartford, Conn.) - The health care debate got ugly in Washington this morning. Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman was the target of protesters today -- some of whom were arrested.

The protests took place in the waiting area of Lieberman's office inside the Hart Office Building.

About 20 protesters, carrying signs, took over the waiting room, many sitting on the floor. They told police they were not taking over the office, but rather waiting to see the senator.

The police told them they had to leave the office.

This happened on the day Lieberman said he would take part in a Republican filibuster in the Senate of any health care reform bill that he does not agree with, and he does not agree with having a public option included in the bill.
