Joe Biden’s wife shields him from raging vegan

Joe Biden joked that his wife, Jill, was his secret service protection after she fought off vegan protesters who stormed the stage as the former US vicepresident was giving a victory speech to supporters.

“I’m probably the only candidate running for president whose wife is my secret service,” the Democratic frontrunner said at a California fundraiser in Bel Air on Wednesday night, a day after the incident in Los Angeles.

“Whoa, you don’t screw around with a Philly girl, I’ll tell you what,” he said.

“I thought I heard on the news on the way over that the committee in charge of secret service decided they have to start providing secret service for us.

“I think that’s because they’re afraid Jill’s going to hurt someone.

“I tell you what, man — I married way above my station,” Biden joked.

As he was giving a speech in Los Angeles after his Super Tuesday wins, a female vegan protester shouting “Let dairy die” stormed the stage.

Jill grabbed her husband’s hand and put herself between him and the woman.

Seconds later another vegan protester rushed onto the stage, and the former second lady grabbed her with both hands and pushed her back.

The protester was escorted from the stage to boos from Biden supporters.

“We’re OK,” Jill said. Democrats in the House have urged the acting homeland security secretary and congressional leaders to provide protection for Biden and his rival, Bernie Sanders.
