Obama staffer calls for Secret Service protection after Biden's wife and adviser take down protester

A former adviser to Barack Obama has called for this year’s presidential candidates to get secret service protection after Joe Biden’s wife and a senior adviser jointly tackled an animal welfare protester at his Super Tuesday victory rally.

Jill Biden and Symone Sanders leapt into action when two protesters crashed the stage from behind the candidate, Ms Biden grabbing the second woman’s wrists while Ms Sanders locked her into a tackle and dragged her from the stage.

Video of the incident quickly went viral, with users sharing slowed-down videos narrating the Biden-Sanders team effort.

Ms Sanders tweeted: “I broke a nail.”

the idea that there is NO ONE restricting access ...
(Short of Biden's wife of course .. but only after protesters had already gained the stage. Very sloppy!)
