Protester takes mic from Kamala Harris while on stage at event

A protester took Sen. Kamala Harris’ (D-Calif.) microphone as she spoke to attendees at an event in San Francisco Saturday.

In footage of the incident at the Big Ideas Forum hosted by MoveOn, the male protester is seen entering the stage just as Harris took a question about the gender pay gap in the United States.

JUST IN: Protester comes on stage and takes microphone from Sen. Harris during a political forum featuring multiple 2020 presidential candidates in San Francisco on Saturday; protester was taken off stage and Sen. Harris continued with her session.

The protester, named Aidan Cook, said he wanted ask for Harris’ attention on “a much bigger idea” before he was removed from the stage by security. Harris continued speaking after his removal.

Direct Action Everywhere (DxE), an animal rights organization based in California, said in a statement that the man was an activist who wanted to call on Harris “to support ordinary citizens rescuing animals rather than the factory farms that abuse animals.”

Wayne Hsiung, the founder of the group, said that “families of ordinary Americans are being endangered, and whistleblowers who expose criminal violations are being targeted.”

“The typical voter -- especially in the Democratic Party -- doesn’t approve, so we’re asking for the party to end its support for corporate Big Ag,” he added.

A number of other 2020 Democratic presidential contenders attended the event on Saturday, including Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.) , Corey Booker (N.J.), Bernie Sanders (Vt.) and former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke — several of them spoke also prior to Harris' session.

Oh, boy. These folks are really gonna be ticked off when they find out that all dogs and cats will have to be eliminated to improve the climate.

Imagine if YOU had the right to go inside of every farm and slaughterhouse, unannounced, and take action for animals suffering inside.

Watching Kamel-toe, it looks to me like she was happy to give up the mic. She practically handed it to the guy.

You mention “Sissyfag” and that reminds me of a noisy gay activist who was so craving of attention that he changed his name to Luke Sissyfag. This was many years ago in Palm Springs. I think he got tired of the attention — i.e., the attention given his ridiculous name — and changed it back a few years later.

Chances are very good that the father’s name is Mohammad, but as to who he actually is, well ... that’s a mystery.

This is the environment liberals created. They asked for this.
