Kamala Harris' husband, Douglas Emhoff, did not take kindly to an animal rights protester who stormed a stage and grabbed his wife's mic from her hands during a forum in California over the weekend.

The incident took place on Saturday while Harris was fielding questions at the Big Ideas Forum in San Francisco that was staged by MoveOn, a political organization aligned with the Democratic Party.

Harris was being interviewed by MoveOn’s Karine Jean-Pierre and Stephanie Valencia of EquisLabs when Aidan Cook, 24, of Oakland, California, jumped on stage and grabbed the microphone out of the stunned senator's hands.

Harris remained calm as the long-haired man wearing an animal rights t-shirt held the microphone.

Cook's actions brought Emhoff out of his seat along with several security guards who surrounded the man onstage, a moment that has sent Twitter into a frenzy.

Emhoff was seen walking alongside the security guards as they were removing the protester off stage.

Following the incident, Twitter users praised the Emhoff for stepping in when he did.

'When the protester rushed @KamalaHarris at the @MoveOn event, Harris' husband @douglasemhoff helped pull the guy off stage. Husbands take notice,' one person wrote on Twitter.

Another person tweeted: 'Nothing about this was OK: Grabbing mic from @KamalaHarris; ignoring other women on stage; insisting his voice mattered more; resisting efforts to usher him off. @K_JeanPierre you were mighty. @douglasemhoff, you were *that* husband, in the best way.'

Afterward, Emhoff tweeted a photo of himself and his wife.

‘Thanks for all the kind notes,’ Emhoff wrote. 'We are good. I love Kamala Harris and would do anything for her.'

Emhoff, a Los Angeles-based lawyer, ended the caption with three heart emojis.

And Emhoff isn't the only one getting praised on Twitter.

As the incident unfolded a 'small but fierce' Karine Jean-Pierre saw the man approach and tried to block his path toward Harris, forcing him to move to the side.

MSNBC's Joy Reid tweeted: 'This is a frightening moment, especially in these times. Glad @K_JeanPierre @KamalaHarris and everyone on that stage was ok. Karine's reflex to jump up and protect the Senator was just bloody heroic. Whew...'

TV host Ana Navarro-Cardenas also tweeted: 'The petite, fierce woman who got between @KamalaHarris and the loon much bigger then both of them, is @K_JeanPierre. In a Kamala Administration, put that woman charge of Homeland Security! She could do job far better than that Nielsen lady. Karine has a heart.'

'The failure of security to guard @KamalaHarris in this instance is one topic. The privilege of this man to think that whatever he had to say was so important that it was appropriate for him to hop on stage is another. Shoutout to @K_JeanPierre for being ready for whatever,' another person tweeted.

During the man's antics, he took the microphone and said: 'Sorry for the interruption.'

The protester said he was 'asking for your attention to a much bigger idea'.

A number of security guards then came on stage and quickly ushered the man out of the venue.

Afterward, Harris laughed about the anxious moments and resumed participating in the panel.

'I'm good, I’m good,' she told the audience. 'All good. No worries.'

The protester, who was able to gain access to the event by obtaining a press pass, was later identified as Cook, according to the Washington Examiner.

Cook is an animal rights activist from Oakland, California. He is a member of Direct Action Everywhere, a group that is considered one of the more extreme animal rights organizations in the world.

Direct Action Everywhere, or DxE, is an organization whose activists break into barns, farms, and other holding pens for animals.

They film undercover videos documenting the poor conditions in which animals are held by agricultural facilities.

DxE activists have also been known to take sick animals with them and rehabilitate them.

In many instances, DxE activists have live streamed their break-ins on social media, according to Westword.

This is not the first time that Cook and DxE have attempted to crash a political event.

In 2016, Cook and four other DxE activists were beaten by Secret Service and arrested after jumping barricades while trying to rush the stage during a rally by presidential candidate Bernie Sanders in Oakland.

Video of the incident filmed by KRON-TV shows two bodyguards immediately surrounded Sanders while nearby security personnel quickly handcuffed the protesters and escorted them out of the rally, even carrying one of them by the legs and arms.

In 2016, Cook was one of five protesters arrested at a Bernie Sanders rally in Oakland, California. He is seen above being hauled away by Secret Service agents in Oakland on May 30, 2016
