Her party hopes to “escort” their candidate (polling at an average 2.3 percent) into the first debate in an attempt to get her onstage, a campaign adviser said last week, and she was at Hofstra University for media interviews.

As Business Insider reported, “Calling for volunteers to take part in protest and civil disobedience in Hofstra, New York, … Kevin Zeesa wrote on Stein’s website: ‘We may decide to have supporters attempt to escort our candidates [Stein and vice-presidential nominee Ajamu Baraka] into the debates. This situation may lead to arrest – it is possible but not definite. There will be actions you can take with us at Hofstra that do not risk arrest.’”

Politico reported: “In the hours before Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton take the stage, Stein and her supporters plan to hold a ‘Let Jill Debate’ protest and subsequent ‘People’s Debate. … When the debate starts at 9 p.m., Stein’s campaign says she will ‘participate live in the debate on social media.'”
