Anybody catch the Animal Rights protest at Hillary's event today?

She made a crack that they should be protesting Trump since his family has killed a lot of animals.

I believe it was the Direct Action Everywhere group.

It seems strange that they would target Hillary who actually has an Animals Rights section on her website.

And this just a second after Seacret Service came on stage to protect her, then gave her a clear to go ahead.
So proud of them having her back so quickly, AND of her for being so cool under that kind of pressure!
Such an awesome prez she will be!

ABC, so can't embed, but worth checking out at the link:

No.

That won't happen.

That might involve some actual personal risk and sacrifice.
