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.

Good for the other diners. People are getting tired of harassers and lowlife Dems like Mad Maxine encouraging uncivil behavior.

Of course, the NPC Media will only talk about Pelosi in Miami.

I think I would not have simply asked them to leave. McConnell should invite some bikers to sit at the table next to them when they dine out.

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

Such as Pelosi’s staged event in Florida.

Right, that’s why i think we should not engage in that behavior. Im not overly pleased that Pelosi got the treatment she so richly deserved.

The Pelosi thing looks to have been set up by DNC Shenanigans Unit. Propaganda material to counter the bad image of the dem party, and also to point fingers and say “they are doing it too, so this is ok”.

Sure sounds like physical violence is around the corner, and the Mob deserves an Ass whooping. I hope next time an American comes up and beats the protester down.

Sounds like a crime has been committed.
Hope this video will be evidence at a trial.

‘The Pelosi thing looks to have been set up by DNC Shenanigans ...’

I thought this may be the case. Typically, conservative or GOP protesters don’t bang on doors. Was suspicious of this...although could understand passion of Cuban Americans against communism.

And you base this on what evidence?

Louisville has turned into a cesspool of liberalism and radical leftist beliefs, particularly the Highlands and Old Louisville areas.

Mitch has an academic building or program at UofL named after him, but the communists will eventually succeed in having it removed.

As a sidebar, I grew up there, but I rarely go back. I have no time for progressives that truly believe they are superior to us that live out in rural Kentucky.

I don’t doubt there’ll be violence if this behavior isn’t stopped, civility has been abandoned by lowlife Democrats that encourage others to do their dirty work.

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

And when one gets shot, are you going say that was a “sympathy-getting ploy” too?

Mitch isnt even up for election.

I got suspicious when I read an earlier article saying that the protesters referred to the proud boys. Why would a spontaneous protest call out the proud boys. It could happen, but still something does not sound right.
