How Sacramento Welcomed Hillary Clinton
How activists foiled Hillary's fundraiser
A Rancho Cordova fundraising event for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was delayed three hours on Thursday, May 31 while the Sacramento County bomb squad investigated a coffin brought to the area by antiwar protester Stephen Pearcy.
About 20 protesters showed up and organizer Pearcy brought along his usual displays, including his mock coffin with a U.S. flag draped over it.
"Hillary is not welcome in Sacramento as a candidate," Pearcy said. "If you fund the war, you're keeping the troops in harm's way … She can't have it both ways."
After about a half an hour of protesting outside the gates of the home to the wealthy Hillary host, Eleni Tsakopoulos-Kounalakis, a man who called himself a Secret Service agent (but who refused to show his badge) asked Pearcy to open up the coffin because he feared a bomb was planted inside. Pearcy at first said they had no probable cause to search it, but after the threat of bringing a bomb squad to check it out, he opened it up, showing them that there was nothing inside.
