For many women, the footage of a man storming onto stage during Kamala Harris’ most recent speaking engagements is chilling.

Aidan Cook, an animal-rights protester, interrupted Harris at an event in San Francisco on the weekend, barrelling onto the stage and grabbing the microphone from the presidential hopeful to declare that he has “a much bigger idea” that he wanted to discuss. (At the time, Harris was talking about wage inequality.)

Moderator Karine Jean-Pierre intervened immediately, putting herself between Cook and Harris and motioning him away. When Cook tried to make his way back onto the podium, Harris’s husband Douglas Emhoff took him by the arm and escorted him briskly from the stage. After Cook had been successfully contained, Harris returned to the platform to rapturous applause, saying “I’m good, I’m good… All good. No worries.” At the time, many on social media praised Harris and Jean-Pierre for their “strength”.

This video of a protester interrupting Kamala Harris isn't harmless, it's terrifying
