'He has helmed Interior as acting secretary since Jan. 2, when Ryan Zinke resigned amid multiple ethics probes. '
'Viewers of Thursday’s confirmation hearing of acting interior secretary David Bernhardt were met with a surprise: a green, unblinking swamp creature was watching attentively from the second row, visible just over Bernhardt’s right shoulder. '
'According to video of the hearing, the protesters were apparently not escorted out of the room until nearly two hours into the hearing. '
'The creature was one of several scattered throughout the hearing room — and, after some discussion by Capitol Police officers, eventually removed — in protest of Bernhardt’s nomination. '
'Capitol Police spokeswoman Eva Malecki confirmed that protesters were removed from the hearing but declined to comment further on the incident. '
