Diners confront Mitch McConnell at restaurant, get told to ‘leave him alone’ by others
Fox News ^ | October 20, 2018 | Adam Shaw

A small group of angry diners confronted Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell at a restaurant Friday night, but were met with calls from other customers to leave the Kentucky Republican alone.

Video obtained by TMZ shows at least one diner berating McConnell on issues such as Social Security at a restaurant in Louisville. The video starts with him yelling at McConnell and arguing with Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao -- to whom McConnell is married. The outlet reported that four men first confronted McConnell.

“Oh yeh, why don’t you get out of here? Why don’t you leave our entire country,” the protester tells the couple.

As Chao argues with the protester, McConnell appears nonplussed and sips on a drink. But other diners begin yelling at the protester, telling him to “leave him alone” and making shoo-ing gestures.

“They’re going to come for Social Security,” he told the other diners, before appearing to be approached by staff.

It’s a shame the turkey didn’t try to resist a little when he was booted from the diner, he probably would have spent the night in jail nursing some bruises.

I live 50 miles from it and it’s full of loons. The mayor and council has made it a sanctuary city.

“McConnell should invite some bikers to sit at the table next to them when they dine out.”

Good idea. Some of the Bikers For Trump should volunteer to accompany the GOP when they’re out and about. I doubt if pussy-hat-wearing soy boys will cross that particular line.

The problem is when people don’t realize these are staged events... actual harm can occur.

Follow the money and find the agitpropagandists.

"A lot of these events are staged by paid crisis actors. Sympathy-getting ploys for RINOs."

Eh, this starch'n'barf overpriced-ham-sandwich joint doesn't need reservations, so highly doubtful this was staged in advance (ie, an employee leaking arrival time to his DSA Leftist Antifa stooges). There were plenty of people in that restaurant prepared to intervene, they shouted down the nimrod. Watch the video.

You are just a busy little bee posting the same crap on every thread. They are not crisis actors, they are rude and feral children whose parent let them grow up without supervision. The vulgar tantrums you see are the result of poor parenting.

Yea I hate it. Lots of great history there and I have good memories. But, everything is liberal ran there. The schools suck, crime is up. Fischer is a complete wimp.

Did you believe the MSM’s version of events at Charlottesville...

... or do you believe the FReepers who fingered the paid crisis actors at Charlottesville as being former State Department employees/part time CNN reporters?

What makes you think RINOs and desperate NeverTrumps can’t hire rent a mobs just like the Dems?

This is a centuries-old tactic.

MOBS OR JOBS.

The choice is abundantly clear.

Don’t feel like repeating myself and wasting time reposting the same time tested truths over and over again...

We live in the age of a Uniparty, run by Elites who stage events all day long.

It’s called Fake News.

Wake up.

Charlottesville needs to be exposed as the false flag it was.

It is what the left tries to use as the excuse for their descent into unhinged madness.

Or follow them back to their vehicle and catch them under the ribs with an upward thrust of a bang stick loaded with 00 buckshot.

Instant liquification of vital organs.

LOL.

If it was a staged event, who do you think was paying the people to yell at him as a sympathy getting ploy?

Speaking of Social Security...

Notice how the 2.8% COLA raise for SS recipients is getting a lot of play on ALL the major networks?? (I jest and don’t call me Shirley)

I figure the mailer should arrive long about NOV 1 or so informing us of the ‘raise’.

Of course the LIBS will play on the other end of the facts....

What diners are going to have to start doing is telling management if the ‘disrupters’ are not removed, checks are not going to be paid because ‘you are not providing a secure facility for me to eat (ESPECIALLY if they are in a no Carry Zone) in ‘peace’.
AND you know if the ones not minding the ‘protests/disruptions’ will probably go along with the ‘walk out’ game.... (After all, they are LIBS)

Money may pay for the protestors but walking out on checks will get Managements attention VERY QUICK.

“posting the same crap on every thread.”

It’s what NPC trolls do.

Exactly, and we can’t forget that the so-called “Right” wing of the Uniparty won’t stage events for political purposes as well.
