Former US Senator and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was forced to dodge a shoe thrown at her from the audience while she gave a speech in Las Vegas on Thursday.
The bizarre incident happened while the likely presidential candidate gave a paid speech to an industry group.
Quick to react, Clinton flinched and sidestepped to her left, at first yelling, “Was that a bat!”
In the audience, the woman who appeared to have thrown the shoe immediately raised her hands and began walking out of the auditorium, escorted by security personnel.
Watch:
Clinton quickly began joking about what had occurred, saying: “Is that somebody throwing something at me? Was that part of Cirque de Soleil? My goodness, I didn’t know solid waste management was so controversial. Thank goodness she didn’t play softball like I did.”
