<text>  A pair of protesters who came all the way from New Jersey to Des Moines, Iowa to lodge a protest against their states governor, Chris Christie, were thrown out of Saturdays Iowa Ag Summit after they yelled that Christie hadnt done enough to help victims of Hurricane Sandy. Organizers of Saturdays Iowa Ag Summit warned audience members that they would be escorted out if they caused a scene. Police quickly tossed the pair, including Lisa Stevens, whose sign claimed thousands of families were still displaced from their homes. Joe Mangino, a man standing with her, barked, I will NOT shut up! Christie had told an activist in October at a Belmar, New Jersey town hall meeting about post-hurricane rebuilding to do just that. My people follow me everywhere, Christie quipped to event organizer Bruce Rastetter as the protesters were marched to the exit and hundreds applauded. Im magnetic, Bruce, he said. They cant stay away from me. Scroll down for video . DEFIANT: Chris Christie dismissed hecklers on Saturday in Des Moines, Iowa who came 1,000 miles to complain about families still displaced more than two years after Hurricane Sandy . EXIT, STAGE LEFT: Lisa Stevens held a sign reading Governor Christie: Thousands of families still not home after Sandy before she and Joe Mangino were quickly escorted out . And I think you understand that Ill deal with you the same way here as I deal with you in New Jersey, he told the protesters. As the pair left the auditorium, Christie said that it really is a wonderful country that people can do that. Stevens sign read, Governor Christie: Thousands of families still not home after Sandy. Hurricane Sandy was an historic 2012 storm that ravaged Americas mid-Atlantic coast, killing 12 in New Jersey and causing more than 20 billion in damage overall. Mangino said outside that Sandys aftermath forced him to abandon his home, and that he and his family have moved three times since then. Tens of thousands in the Garden State were made homeless as 80-mph winds battered the coast and flattened houses, and soe advocates insist the governor hasnt done enough to help. Im begging you, one of the hecklers yelled as she was ejected. The two werent the only ones to disrupt the mornings program. A lone, elderly man interrupted Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad as the event began, reading aloud from a sheet of paper a litany of complaints about corporate agriculture. He too was shown the door to the sound of cheers and one audience member who yelled Get him out of here! Its all about money, the gray-haired activists had complained. Theres too much corruption. And then: We want clean water! A group of about 50 protesters were gathered outside the Elwell Family Food Center near the Iowa State Fairgrounds, a mixture of organic-only food advocates, backers of small, family farms, opponents of genetically modified food crops, and animal rights activists from PETA. Christie, the no-nonsense governor known for boisterous outbursts on the campaign trail, reserved his most emotional words for the Obama administrations fast-evolving policy on Cuba. The communist island nation, he complained bitterly, has been harboring since 1984 a fugitive who killed a New Jersey police officer in 1977. The ejected Christie hecklers sign identified her as a member of the New Jersey Organizing Project, a liberal group that is demanding more government funds to fix hurricane damage . POWER TO THE OLD PEOPLE! An elderly protester also interrupted Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad with a litany of complaints about corporate agriculture . CIRCUS: Activists rallied outside the Iowa Ag Summit on March 7 as hundreds listened inside to a procession of Republican presidential hopefuls . You cannot start trading with a country that is promoting someone who is a cop-killer, he said of JoAnne Chesimard, the 67-year-old former Black Liberation Army member who escaped from a New Jersey prison in 1979 and has been on the run ever since. CRAZIES: Animal liberation activists from PETA were on hand to complain about Iowas thousands of pork farmers . If theyre going to keep harboring fugitives, he said, I have a problem with that ... The president doesnt know how to negotiate. You dont give away the idea of trading with America for nothing. The Cuban government refused this week to extradite Chesimard, who has adopted the name Assata Olugbala Shakur, as part of trade negotiations designed to give Cuba access to U.S. markets after a half-century of political freeze. I can say it is off the table, said Gustavo Machin, the deputy director for American affairs at the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs, during a March 2 interview with Yahoo News. In December Josefina Vidal, Cubas Head Of North American Affairs, rejected a deal that would have returned Chesimard to the U.S. in exchange for 5 prisoners held in the U.S. Every nation has sovereign and legitimate rights to grant political asylum to people it considers to have been persecuted, she told the Associated Press at the time. Weve explained to the U.S. government in the past that there are some people living in Cuba to whom Cuba has legitimately granted political asylum. Christie also attacked the White House on its economic record, hinting that he favors a wholesale rewrite of Americas tax code. FUGITIVE: JoAnne Chesimard killed a New Jersey police officer, escaped from a New Jersey prison and fled justice in Cuba, where she still lives under the Raul Castro governments protection . We tax too much in this country already. We tax in a way thats too complicated, he said. We tax that money at every step along the way. We tax it when you make it, we tax it when you invest it, and then we tax you when you die and in some states, like mine, we tax your heirs who take it. Its crazy, Christie said. Those taxes, he added, hit Americans in concert with an economy thats growing too slow to be sustainable. This is the worst recovery in modern history and the president takes a victory lap, he carped. And touting his own record conducting global trade missions for New Jersey businesses, Christie said the presidents approach has been inadequate. I think any of us who have seen the president negotiate over the course of the last 6 years is concerned about the way the president negotiates, he said.
