Responding to animal rights protesters, HRC says the protesters are protesting Trump because "Trump & his kids have killed a lot of animals"

Animal rights protestors appeared at a Hillary Clinton rally Thursday in Las Vegas, to which she quipped that they should be protesting Donald Trump since "his kids have killed a lot of animals."

As Clinton was discussing her jobs plan, Secret Service agents appeared on stage as a protest broke out. It's unclear if the protesters, apparently belonging to the group "Direct Action Everywhere," tried to rush the stage or whether the agents came onstage as a precaution.

Clinton brushed off the commotion, joking that the demonstrators must have come to protest her Republican opponent. ............

3. Is this the same group that Sanders SS had to control in a CA rally?

There doesn't seem to be a specific reason, other than publicity.

There are many trolls on DU that play the same game under the guise of concern and criticism.

5. Animal rights activists have been known to resort to violence.

They are suspected in the assassination of the dean of Tennessee's veterinary school several years ago.

The Secret Service would to well to handle them aggressively.

8. I believe that was a seriously shitty smear by the police department.

I believe it was done to deligitimize animal rights groups. At the same time police smeared them in this instance, the also said it wasn't even second hand information nor did they think it was done by an animal rights group. They literally said these things at the same time. That is the height of irresponsibility from anyone in law enforcement.

7. Maybe because she does very little to nothing

to help with PETA's cause? In fact, as a globalist, she undermines their cause. Could that be why? Sure Drmpf's kids shoot animals, but they're supposed to be shot stains, as are most repubs. Perhaps dems are held to a higher standard?

WTF is a "globalist" in this context? And how does your post help with DU's TOS and state goal to elect Democrats?
