CHICAGO — A revolting surprise greeted Democratic convention-goers Wednesday when maggots were found during a hotel breakfast service — and the FBI is now investigating the apparent activism-related incident.

“We can confirm that a group of individuals caused a disruption at a DNC-related breakfast event at our hotel this morning,” Fairmont Chicago hotel spokesperson Haley Robles told WGN-TV.

“Our team acted immediately to clean and sanitize the area, ensuring that the event could continue without further incident.”

An FBI van was spotted by the local outlet outside the hotel, which is hosting state delegates from Indiana, Minnesota, Ohio, Missouri and South Dakota, the local channel reported.

Although it was not immediately clear who was responsible, maggots were released last month at the Watergate Hotel in Washington in protest of the visiting delegation of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Protesters opposed to the Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip have been protesting outside the Democratic convention in Chicago.
