IOWA: Secret Service Scrambles To Protect Hillary As Animal Rights Protester Rushes Stage [VIDEO]

Second time in one week. The Independent reports:

Hillary Clinton was rushed at by an animal rights protester during a speech on the economy, the second time in a week. Ms Clinton was talking in Des Moines, Iowa, and facing the other way as a woman launched herself over the barrier and towards the stage.

She has been named as 26-year-old Kelsey Atkinson from campaign group Direct Action Everywhere, which fights for “total animal liberation”. Just as the protester got to the steps, Secret Service staff pulled Ms Atkinson away.

In a Facebook post, the group said Ms Atkinson and her colleagues wanted to challenge Ms Clinton to “take a stand against animal torture and stop taking money from animal-exploring corporations like Costco”.

The group has issued a press release. The videos below show the incident from several angles.
