A Hillary Clinton rally was interrupted on Monday by two "protesters" waiving signs and chanting "Iron Our Shirts", touching off renewed debate about sexism in American politics.
Some of the Internet chatter in the wake of the incident has indicate a bit of disbelief in both the
timing and
content of the "protest", charging Clinton with "planting" the protesters.
Others have speculated that the outburst was part of a radio hoax perpetrated by Boston-area radio hosts
Toucher and Rich.
The photo of one of the protesters below certainly resembles one of the members of the Toucher and Rich staff.

who tracked down the protestors after the incident, lists his name as "Aldolfo Gonzales" which matches the information on the Toucher and Rich web site. According to the article, the other protester is named "Nick Gemelli". The radio show has an intern named Nick, though it is not clear at this time that it is the same person.
