A delegate at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago made a shocking discovery when maggots were found in her breakfast at the Fairmont Chicago hotel. Chicago police, Illinois State Police, and an FBI evidence response team responded to the incident, which caused a disruption at a DNC-related breakfast event. The hotel spokesperson confirmed that individuals caused the disturbance, but the event was quickly cleaned and sanitized to ensure it could continue without further incident.
DNC officials stated that multiple female offenders placed unknown objects, including maggots, on tables containing food before leaving the area. It is unclear if the maggots were found before delegates began eating. Indiana delegate Tracy Boyd reported that the incident caused a delay in breakfast service, and one person was treated, though it is unknown if it was related to the incident.
The incident occurred on the third day of the convention, where prominent speakers such as former President Bill Clinton, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg were scheduled to speak. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was also set to formally accept the Democratic Party’s vice-presidential nomination in the evening. The shocking incident at the convention has drawn attention and raised concerns about the safety and security of delegates and attendees.
