Protester in pink

Despite the tight security, it wouldn't be that hard to get into the Xcel Center. All you need is a credential around your neck.

About 15 minutes into John McCain's speech, a commotion broke out on the aisle below the press stands. A protester in pink started shouting something unintelligible and security guards converged on her instantly. The crowd, evidently prepped for the occasion, immediately started chanting, “USA, USA, USA.”

One guard struggled to carry/drag her out as she extended her arms outward, hands in peace signs.

McCain tells the crowd not to be distracted and goes on with his speech.
