LAWRENCEBURG – Between 700 and 800 protestors greeted U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday as he spoke at a luncheon hosted by the Anderson County Chamber of Commerce in Lawrenceburg.

Democratic Party of Kentucky Communications Director Daniel Lowry said the protestors came from across the state to send McConnell a message.

“They don’t appreciate the things that he has done such as vote against workers, voting against the minimum wage hike, and he has shut down Senator Warren,” Lowry said. “That made a lot of folks upset.”

Jennifer Lawless of Louisville came to voice her concern to McConnell over President Trump’s plan to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

One of the protesters is named Jennifer Lawless. How appropriate!

The good news is, each one of these “protests” is costing Little George the Nazi and the DNC some big bucks.

800 people?

An article was written about a protest with 800 people?

There’s more people walking a single side block in Manhattan during the day.

Good. Too bad they aren’t conservatives wanting him to leave.
The more politicians fear for their own reelection the better; regardless of party.

Hillary got about 33% of the vote in Kentucky - one of the worst showings for a Democrat in history.

For the entire day more people probably walk that block than live in the entire county where this protest was taking place.

And I bet virtually none of them were from Anderson County.

In another video a lady protestor complains that McConnell doesn’t answer her phone calls, and another complains he doesn’t personally write her responses to her letters. :-)

800?

I have 44 Italian first cousins. Throw in 20 aunts and uncles and we’re almost 10 percent there :)

Throw in 2nd and 3rd removed, we’re 20 percent there :)

Dumb strategy by the Dims. People who’d never vote for a Republican, and probably don’t even live in the state or district, barging into meetings and trying to force the office holder to adapt the views of the people who’d never vote for him.

If tried all over the nation as planned, this will backfire and hurt the Dims.
