Rabid anti-milk protesters rushed Joe Biden’s stage during his Super Tuesday speech in Los Angeles. Ten minutes into what was supposed to be his victory speech since he walked away as the winner in many states during the highly anticipated event, the former Vice President was interrupted by protesters who rushed to the stage in an attempt to grab the microphone and the spotlight.

The first protester rushed and started shouting “Let dairy die!” repeatedly while brandishing a sign, which turned out to have a cow’s face. A security guard was quickly able to get hold of her and walk her down the stage to the booing and jeering of the crowd. It wasn’t over however as another activist took that moment to also run up to the microphones on the stage to shout their senseless slogan and wave their sign. Staff were able to stop her and pull her down from the stage too.

The former Vice President’s wife was standing right next to him as he was making his speech and she quickly moved as if to protect him from the first activist. When the second activist ran to the stage, Biden’s wife even tried helping in subduing the activist. While all of this happened, the former Vice President just looked on as if bewildered at what was happening.

The protesters were part of a group known as Direct Action Everywhere, a vegan activist group. This group is even more radical than the infamous PETA and as their name suggests, they bring their activist activities everywhere. They try to take advantage of high profile events just like the political gathering in Los Angeles to get some rare attention for their group.

The group hosted a Facebook event last February 22nd. According to the Facebook Page of the Event, “The dairy industry is one of the cruellest forms of animal exploitation and our governments are endorsing it. Mother cows have their babies ripped away after birth and endure a cycle of forced impregnation until their production levels decrease to where they are no longer “profitable” and then they are sent to slaughter. Baby cows are killed for veal (if male) and exploited for dairy (if female).”

It seems that the vegans are seeing the presidential campaign season as an opportunity to bring their cause in front of more people by hijacking political events with crazy stunts. It will be remembered that Bernie’s speech was also interrupted a few weeks ago by another group of vegans who are desperate to get attention.

That happened in a campaign rally in Nevada. Just right after Bernie was introduced on stage, a woman came up and tried to get the microphone from Bernie before grabbing a different microphone. She claimed that she was Bernie’s biggest supporter but that he should stop supporting the dairy and animal industry. That was when more protesters appeared with at least two of them topless and they started pouring some liquid on their body. Surprisingly, Sanders didn’t let the protesters takeover the whole rally like what he has done before with other protesters.
