MSNBC guest said Sanders and Biden need secret service protection after what happened tonight...it

truly was frightening-those folks got way to close to VP Biden and Dr. Jill...I agree...but do you think Trump will give it to them?

I said this on another thread; I'm old enough to remember 1968. California. Los Angeles. Bobby. Scared the shit out of me.

Get the Secret Service on all our candidates. NOW!

Candidates have to make a request to the SS, and they will provide protection based on various criteria and a process that was put in place after RFK was assassinated in 1968.

VP Biden needs SS protection. Senator Sanders does as well.

PROTESTERS INTERRUPT FORMER VP JOE BIDEN'S SUPER TUESDAY SPEECH IN LOS ANGELES
Tuesday, March 3, 2020 8:52PM PT

BALDWIN HILLS, LOS ANGELES -- A pair of anti-dairy industry protesters rushed onto the stage as former Vice President Joe Biden was delivering remarks in Los Angeles and celebrating his string of Super Tuesday victories.

With his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, standing alongside him, the former VP was in the middle of his speech at the Baldwin Hills Recreation Center when an unidentified woman stormed the platform.

What the woman was shouting was unclear as a man grabbed her from behind and dragged her away.

A moment later, another woman climbed up to the stage waving two handheld signs -- a Biden 2020 campaign sign and another with an image of a cow and the words "LET DAIRY DIE."
