People React to Dr. Jill Biden Protecting Her Husband from Protestors, ‘Melania Would Never!’

By

Former Vice President Joe Biden was only a few words into his Super Tuesday speech when he suddenly had an unexpected visitor on the platform – a protester.

A woman tried to climb onto the riser from behind Biden and his wife Jill before the woman was grabbed and pulled down. She was on the riser long enough, however, to wave a sign just as Biden was launching into his remarks and a battery of cameras was trained on him.

The crowd booed the protester and expressed relief when the woman was removed.

A second woman then leaped up on stage, and Jill Biden shoved her away. Biden’s senior adviser Symone Sanders grabbed her with a single arm, and hauled the protester off stage with the help of another staffer as the protester waved her sign.

Both protesters flashed signs saying “LET DAIRY DIE” and appeared to be members of the animal rights group Direct Action Everywhere, which has protested several Democratic candidates’ events during the primary season.

Later in the evening, Symone Sanders tweeted about the incident with just a short comment: “I broke a nail. #SuperTuesday.”

The altercation also made people compare Dr. Biden to Melania Trump, who we are guessing would not react in the same way if someone came for her husband. (Although, can you blame her?)

One Twitter user said, YO, Jill Biden is FEARLESS. These two protesters rushed the stage, and Jill had her man’s back. Nice to see that. You’ll never see Melania do that.”

Others felt the same, and it was rather hysterical:
