Amanda Werner‘s friend was dining at MXDC when he recognized none other than Kirstjen Nielsen at the sleek downtown Mexican restaurant—just a day after the Department of Homeland Security Secretary defended the separation of children from their parents at the border.
He immediately texted Werner: “DHS Secretary Nielsen is having dinner at MXDC. Can you tweet on your account? Get activists here.” He sent a snapshot of the Trump Cabinet member in a black suit checking her phone at a nearby table.
Werner, who identifies as transmasculine and uses they/them pronouns, is a campaign strategist for legal advocacy group Public Justice. But in the past year, Werner has also made a hobby out of confronting the rich and powerful. Last October, they went viral after dressing up as the Monopoly Man and photo-bombing the CEO of Equifax during a Senate hearing about the company’s data breach. More recently, they showed up as a Russian troll at the congressional hearing for Mark Zuckerberg.
Werner’s protests are mostly solo, but they texted at least 20 friends, messaged another 15 or so on Facebook, reached out to a couple organizing groups, and blasted the Nielsen sighting out on Twitter. Members of Metro DC Democratic Socialists of America seized on the call to action and rallied its members and followers to meet at the restaurant and confront Nielsen.
Encountering powerful and controversial people shopping for groceries, dining at restaurants, or hitting up SoulCycle has always been a normal facet of DC life. And for the most part, there’s an unspoken code that we allow them to go about their daily lives uninterrupted.
Within about ten minutes, others started to show up. In total, the protest included about a dozen people, Werner says. Among them was Margaret McLaughlin, a member of MDCDSA’s steering committee.

.”.. As they initially confronted Nielsen, Werner says a manager asked them to leave. They walked past him.”
At what point does the manager say to the protestors “This is a private business and you are disturbing many of our customers. I’m asking you to leave now. if you don’t I WILL call the police”.
Instead the manager calls the owner and gives him updates. One would think the owner would tell his manager “Ask them to leave again. If they don’t, tell them you’ll call the police”.
Nothing in the owner’s commentary (ex: “We respect their privacy...”) is anything more than verbal nonsense. IMHO, the owner is as complicit as the protestors were.
Don’t forget to not leave a tip at any restaurant.

Why be such a jerk to the servers. How people treat wait staff tells me a lot about the character of people I know.

In other words, a mentally disturbed wussy with delusions of heroism as a degenerate sexually confused piece of human excrement.
Have they been fired from their gov’t jobs?
That is CAUSE for firing and possibly a lawsuit.
Yea, like a dog guards its bowl or a lion his antelope!
A “transmasculine” is a Democrat guy......they are all so FEMININIZED now it’s disgusting.
I’d certainly walk out without paying.
No chance of that, unless they get to also claim a full pension as a result.
I would be less surprised if they got a service award from the DOJ for “fearlessness” or some other nonsense.
I’m still trying to figure out what the hell is a Transqueer that was among a list of gender types on my medical questionnaire. Now this?
WTH is a “transmasculine”?????????
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
they’s the one that wears the strap on?
"DHS Secretary Nielsen is having dinner at MXDC right now. Address is 600 14th St NW..."
What if terrorists had gotten this tweet? As I understand it, DOJ is sweeping it under the rug as a personal issue. Really?
Sorry, Mr. President, but that is carrying inclusion and tolerance a bit too far.
So the answer is never, never go to MXDC
Transmasculine? Was bedeutet das?
Targeting and ambushing seem to be the new tactic to intimidate members of Team Trump.
This Administration is not composed of fearful people, a fact that seems lost on the Antifa crowd. In fact, the more they harass and demonstrate, the stronger the resolve becomes for Team Trump.
Pinochet had the right idea!
Secretary Nielsen needs a Secret Service detail to protect her from these terrorist wanna-bees.
We must not forget what the left did to Congressman Scalise.
“Amanda Werner‘s friend was dining at MXDC when he recognized none other than Kirstjen Nielsen”
Why, it was justa coincidence. That DOJ girl didn’t stalk her. Nooooo... who could ever think that. /s
WTF is “transmasculine”?
Sounds like the term for a pugilistic practice dummy.
