.@ABC just aired a clip of @KamalaHarris being threatened at today's #CADemocraticConvention by a tall white guy with a man bun who got right in her face, grabbed her mic and then shoved @MoveOn's @K_JeanPierre as she tried to shield Harris.

Women aren't safe anywhere.
Because she has such presence onstage, many may be unaware that Kamala Harris is petite--5'2"--and this guy was at least six feet tall.
Karine was superb and Harris stayed calm, but this was unacceptable in the current US climate of extreme violence against women.
So while this guy did not harm @KamalaHarris or @K_JeanPierre, the incident highlights the risks women candidates (maybe all candidates) face as they campaign. Heckling is time-honored protest. Physically touching a candidate is a form of violence--do not try to claim otherwise.
