From CNN's John Helton, CNN's Lisa Desjardins ST. PAUL, Minnesota (CNN) – Two protesters tried to disrupt Republican presidential nominee John McCain's speech behind and to the right of the podium. One took off an outer garment to reveal a pink garment underneath and held a banner in front of her. The banner was snatched away by a man nearby who threw it to the floor and the protester tried to pick it up and struggled with several people for it. One of the protesters flashed a peace sign while being led away by a single man. The other struggled with several men before being carried up the stairs and out of the auditorium.
