Well… this is awkward. And honestly, a little scary.
Some unhinged protestor with a manbun rushed a stage Democratic 2020 presidential candidate, Kamala Harris, was speaking on, snatched her mike, and started blurting out man-bun nonsense.
It’s all on video:
According to BBC:
Senator Kamala Harris was answering a question on equal pay when a man came and took her microphone from her.
Organizers of the California event she was speaking at have apologized. A number of other 2020 candidates were also in attendance.
The protester has been identified as a 24-year-old animal rights activist named Aidan Cook.
When taking the microphone from Ms Harris, the protester said he wanted her attention for a “much bigger idea” than the gender gap she had been speaking about.
Fair enough – the gender pay gap is a myth, so basically any other idea has the potential to be a “much bigger idea.”
As you can imagine, a “white man” taking Kamala’s mic while she was talking about the gender pay gap lit the internet up. You know, “mansplaining” and all.
A number of people, including the senator’s husband, managed to help remove Mr Cook from the stage.
After his removal, Ms Harris returned to the debate and said she was “all good” despite the disruption.
MoveOn, the liberal advocacy group behind the event, have said they “sincerely regret” the security failing.
We sincerely regret that a protestor was able to gain access to the stage at our forum today & we apologize to Sen. @KamalaHarris. The protestor was removed & the program resumed. MoveOn members were excited to hear Harris continue to discuss her Big Idea to achieve pay equity.

I mean… I’m no fan of Kamala’s but HOW THE HECK DID THIS HAPPEN?
I suppose this is what you get when you leave “security” to a bunch of libs.
