14 Times Republican Officials Were Viciously Harassed, Threatened With Death
The Federalist ^ | 7/10/18 | Bre Payton

Posted on 07/11/2018 2:08:57 AM PDT by markomalley

Throughout the past couple of months, Republicans and government officials who work for President Trump have received death threats, been run out of restaurants and stores, and followed to their cars. The uptick in harassment coincides with increasingly aggressive rhetoric from leading Democrats.

Here are 14 times Trump administration officials and Republican lawmakers have been threatened or run out of establishments recently.

1. Protestors to Mitch McConnell: ‘We Know Where You Live!’

Protestors followed Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to his car outside of a restaurant in Kentucky on Saturday. In a video recording of the encounter, protestors are seen walking behind McConnell and shouting at him: “Vote you out!”

Hundreds of protestors were demonstrating outside of a nearby Immigration and Customs Enforcement Office on Saturday, when the senator was spotted dining at a restaurant just a few miles away, CNN reported. 

“We know where you live too, Mitch!” the group of protestors are seen yelling. “Abolish ICE!”

2. Protestors Follow Elaine Chao To Her Car

Two weeks ago, protestors followed McConnell and his wife, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, as they were getting into a vehicle. These demonstrators played audio of border-crossing foreign children whose parents were reportedly apprehended and heckling the senator for the Trump administration’s border enforcement policies.

Yet democrats still see themselves as the most tolerant, most inclusive people on earth.

Every Leftist movement MUST have enemies. “Opponents” don’t fill the bill because opponents don’t deserve to be taken out by any means necessary.

In their twisted minds, conservatives are evil; there are no moral limits to fighting evil.

The question remains is why don’t we have national reciprocity.

Then they could defend themselves where ever they went.

People on our side will eventually fight back and fight back hard. It won't be pretty.

We're too busy working and they know it. Be honest. No conservatives who are working are going to start fighting. The only people out causing problems do not have good employment.

Whenever I see a list like this, I can't believe the assault of Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos isn't included. After all, Afghan refugee Bilal Askaryar pleaded guilty to assault related to that event.

Hey, what about me? I have a Trump sticker on my back the back window of each of my trucks and the responses I have gotten have almost devolved into road rage. But that’s okay cause I love the thumbs up I get. Have you ever noticed that liberals always put their stickers on the bumper and not the window?

The democrats will draw blood and blame it on the normal people, aided in their deceit by a corrupt media.

That is the case now; agree 100%. But the left will inevitability provoke a major historical event that changes that. I don’t want to speculate because I have a feeling it could really be bad, but the left will have awoken a sleeping giant. When people feel physically threatened and the political/legal system doesn’t protect them , bad consequences will occur.

Democrats are ONLY ‘tolerant’ of their own groups.

Tell me ONE conservative group they’re ‘tolerant’ of... there’s not one.

It’s as silly as if WE were bragging about how tolerant because we accept all gun owners.

Until they really start dealing with these sicko’s. These actions will continue and probably get worse.

At the very least, some of these wacko jobs should be arrested. If they resist, then take them down. They have proven to be dangerous and psychotic in their actions.
