As they come down the line, you see something - yes, frothy brown - squirt up at the candidate. A woman in a blue sweater is pushed back, and a blonde woman in a red sweater follows.

There is a pause, the first woman holds up a flexible container of some kind, and then they are both pushed out.

That was from watching TiVo of the MSNBC split screen. Others had cameras pointed on it.

I am generally against killing anything unless it is
threatening my personal space- obviously these women
were just trying to do a little vermin control.

Nothing should be thrown, sprayed, or otherwise propelled toward, at, or on a candidate.

Squirting an unknown chemical at someone - and I mean unknown to the target - is a fucking ignorant, stupid, and dangerous thing to do.

You tie up the attention of security, and some other guy with a gun gets a clear shot.

Not a good thing for any one to do to any one else...
but you must admit, given the target, very tempting indeed.
