Adam Kokesh Arrested at Anti-Syria War Protest, Witness Speaks Out

Libertarian activist Adam Kokesh was arrested today as he began a "War is for Losers" protest in front of The White House.

Officers approached Kokesh as soon as he began protesting and speaking to people outside the White House. He was detained "on suspicion of being Adam Kokesh" and it was later clarified that they facially ID'ed him and believe he has an outstanding warrant for failure to appear in Maryland. He was taken to DC central booking.

Kokesh says the warrant stems from an issue he had with TSA in Maryland in late 2015, but a letter states that it was resolved with a warning.

Following footage from two cell phones of Adam's arrest that was taken live, Heather Mullins of Free Talk Live describes the arrest, which she witnessed.

This is one of several times Kokesh has been arrested in DC.
