Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!

The same prankster who disrupted a Joe Biden rally on Saturday later proposed to Massachusetts Senator and Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren onstage, and asked her to speak to his Incel buddy.
Jason Selvig of the prank duo The Good Liars, along with his partner Davram Stiefler, disrupted a Biden rally in North Liberty, Iowa on Saturday, and hours later showed up to a Warren town hall in Cedar Rapids to try and repeat the trick.
Selvig suddenly appeared on stage as Warren spoke, put up his hand, then said I just want to ask you a quick question.
Warren recoiled a few steps, as Selvig got down on one knee and after a long, creepy pause, said Will you be my candidate for president? Will you marry me?

Warren and Biden handled these incidents with calm and humor, but maybe the campaigns should check into some better security.

(2,042 posts)2. A great example of how subjective humor can be.
As in, this isn't funny. At all.

That has to be one of the most cringy things of the primary season.

This time it was harmless, but there are too many crazies out there to risk Elizabeth Warren's safety or anyone else's. Better security is definitely in order.
