Video: Occupy Bachmann as Charleston Group Upstages Candidate
Rep. Michele Bachmann was in the middle of giving a speech on the Yorktown when Occupy Charleston protesters swarmed stage.

By Greg Hambrick

Michele Bachmann came to Charleston to give her foreign policy vision, but she was interrupted by more than a dozen protestors with the Occupy movement.

Roughly 10 minutes into her speech, in front of roughly 60 supporters and media, the occupy group sitting amongst the crowd stood at their seats at the call from their leader, "Mic check!"

The group then began a call and response message similar to speeches at Occupy rallies throughout the country.

"You capitalize on dividing Americans, claiming people that disagree with you are unpatriotic socialists," they said to Bachmann as local police escorted the candidate from the stage." See the full statement attached.

The Occupy crowd left after their brief statement. No arrests were made.
Bachmann's first comment upon returning to the room: "Don't you love the 1st amendment."

with protests or questions
they either threaten to expel the people (Joe Walsh, Paul Ryan)
or they shut down the meeting
Where Warren stops the people trying to shut up the questioner
and tells them to let him speak
that is the difference
the republicans are afraid to answer anything
because they have nothing besides their talking points

Do you want conservatives interrupting Democratic candidates?

Ask as many difficult questions as you want, but don't interrupt a speech.
