On debate night, security made sure the Green Party's candidate wasn't anywhere near the podium.

Jill Stein was talking to the press outside Hofstra University, the first presidential debate site, when police reportedly told her she would need to finish up her interviews and get off the campus immediately.

Police said Stein didn't have the credentials to get so close.

Stein left without incident — this time. During a 2012 debate, which just so happened to be at Hofstra University, Stein was arrested for disorderly conduct and shackled to a chair while the debate played out.
