A protester grabbed the microphone from Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) after jumping onstage during an event Saturday in San Francisco where the 2020 presidential hopeful was speaking. Harris had been discussing student loans for black students at MoveOn’s Big Ideas Forum when Aidan Cook, a 24-year-old animal rights activist from Oakland, took the mic from Harris and began speaking. Karine Jean-Pierre, MoveOn’s chief public affairs officer, immediately jumped up from her seat next to Harris to intervene before event security came on stage to handle the situation. Harris left the stage during the commotion as MoveOn staffers and her husband, Douglas Emhoff, escorted Cook off the stage. “It’s all good,” Harris told the crowd.
