Joe Biden had a big Super Tuesday, and when it came time to give his speech at the end of the day, the women in his life were not about to let some protesters steal the spotlight.
As Fast Company reported, the protesters weren't targeting Biden in particular, but have been showing up at events around California for several months.
Nevertheless, those around the former VP weren't entirely sure of their intentions and weren't going to have their antics on their stage.
As they did, Jill Biden, standing by her husband's side for his speech, blocked him from the protester with her body.
All seemed well, but only for a moment as a second protester took the stage while security was still dealing with the first protester.
That's when the women sprang into action.
She grabbed the protesters by the wrists and shoved her away. As she did so, Joe's senior adviser, Symone Sanders, rushed the stage, grabbed the protester around the waist, and physically dragged her off.
During an event in New Hampshire in February, Jill jumped out of her chair to get between her husband and a man who was shouting at him and approaching his lectern, CNN reported.
It should go without saying that the women in Joe Biden's life shouldn't be called upon to perform security duties, as stirring as it is to see them come to the former VP's defense.
However, they don't seem too much the worse for wear afterwards. In the aftermath, Sanders simply tweeted, "I broke a nail."
