As the Super Tuesday results continue to roll in, two unexpected heroes have emerged from the night: Jill Biden, wife of the former vice-president, and his senior adviser Symone Sanders.
The two offered secret service-level protection last night in Los Angeles, quickly responding when Joe Biden was interrupted mid-speech by two protesters who stormed the stage chanting “Let dairy die!”. Buzzfeed reports that a number of such anti-dairy protests have taken place at political events in California this election season.
The first protester was quickly removed by security, but another protester emerged moments later. Neither protester could have known they were up against not just regular security, but also Biden’s right-hand women who made an undefeatable tag-team. It went something like this:
Jill Biden uses her own body to block a protester from getting to her husband (Let’s assume she yelled, “You’ll have to go through me first” for dramatic affect). The determination on her face as she grabbed the protester by her wrists to protect her husband led to suggestions she should become Biden’s VP.

Then Sanders swiftly swoops in behind Biden, rushing the second protester and getting her off of stage with ease.
The real MVP is @SymoneDSanders who absolutely DECKS these protestors https://t.co/PYnW2x16WU

Sanders tweeted from the scene to confirm there was indeed collateral damage.
I broke a nail. #SuperTuesday

The results of Super Tuesday are still to be confirmed, and at the moment it looks like a two-man race between (Joe) Biden and (Bernie) Sanders. While those two are not likely to join the same ticket, we can at least hold out for a different type of Sanders-Biden coalition in the future – let’s just hope the NFL was watching.
If any NFL teams are scouting for a right guard, Jill Biden is available.
