Jill Biden Tosses a Heckler out of a Campaign Event As He Tries to Shout Down Her Husband

One of former Vice President Joe Biden‘s campaign events on Monday was interrupted by a heckler pushing toward the candidate but the man found himself ejected from the rally by none other than former Second Lady Jill Biden.

In a video of the event which has been making the rounds on social media, the crowd starts chanting “we want Joe!” to shout down the heckler when 👤Jill Biden crosses the room and joins the security guards in tossing the disruptor out of the room.

Here’s the clip of the interaction:

When a reporter spotted 👤Jill Biden at a pub later in the night and asked her about the interaction, she reportedly quipped, “I’m a good Philly girl.”

👤Joe Biden was clearly thankful for the support that his wife provided. During a Tuesday morning interview on Morning Joe, he said, “She said to me ‘I was worried he had a gun.'”

The former vice president added a moment later, “I tell you what, I married way up, man.”

The Bidens spent their morning in the Granite State but are moving out early and heading to South Carolina where the former vice president still has a wide lead in the polls. 👤Joe Biden is hoping to improve on a lackluster performance in Iowa that he called a “gut punch.”

👤Jill Biden has been one of her husband’s loudest surrogates on the campaign trail and she has been criss-crossing the early states over the past few months. She is the second wife of the former senator and vice president — his first wife died in a car accident along with his young daughter.

She has also accomplished a considerable amount over her life, as she holds a Ph.D. from the University of Delaware and while her husband was the vice president, she was a professor at Northern Virginia Community College just outside of Washington DC.
