Five animal rights protesters jumped over barricades and rushed the podium at a Bernie Sanders rally in East Oakland, California, on Monday night, prompting the Vermont senator's Secret Service detail to intervene.
One of the protesters appeared to be hit by one of the security member's baton, while another was carried out of the venue by his arms and legs.
In a statement, another one of the Berkely-based group's organizers, Aidan Cook, said that “Sanders claims to oppose ‘factory farming,’ but what he hides is that virtually all farms in the United States, including farms he supports, are essentially factory farms."
The group is seeking an endorsement of full “personhood” for all animals and has previously disrupted Sanders' events.
