Mitch McConnell’s Kentucky home targeted in Supreme Court vacancy protest
Fox News ^ | 09.20.2020 | Dom Calicchio

At least one protester was arrested Saturday after a group of about 100 people gathered outside the Kentucky home of Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell.

The Senate majority leader is a key figure in determining whether a nominee appointed by President Trump will succeed the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court before Election Day.

“Ruth Sent Us,” and “No Ethics No Shame,” read some of the signs carried by crowd members in Louisville, local FOX station WDRB-TV reported.

“Hey-hey, ho-ho, Mitch McConnell has got to go,” others chanted.

Reports were unclear on whether McConnell was at home in Kentucky or in Washington on Saturday.

In addition to the impending battle over the court vacancy, McConnell, 78 – a member of the Senate since 1985 -- also faces a reelection fight on Kentucky’s November ballot.

One protester was arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and improper parking, after police determined she used a pharmacy parking lot without planning to patronize the store, the Courier Journal of Louisville reported.

After facing the towing of her vehicle, the woman went inside the store and bought a six-pack of beer but police arrested her anyway, the report said.

The arrest prompted other protesters to start chanting, and one member of the crowd kicked a glass door and damaged it, the newspaper reported.

Other protesters agreed to move vehicles that were blocking traffic on a nearby street, following a police request.

Yes but then the legislature is Republican as are the two US Senators and most of the US Reps.
Kentucky is no Oregon.

And Al Capone was imprisoned for tax evasion

Yes.
The cops just wanted to lock the female ANTIFA terrorist up. Any excuse will do. And a good thing too.

Agreed, but they’ve got real issues on the executive side, and that matters a lot.

It helps that the AG is a Republican.

The Demonicrats are so TDS-unhinged traitorous that they will go beyond burning homes and will attempt to carry out targeted assassinations. The leftist enemydia will support the Demonicrats in their efforts.

President Trump will need to supply SS protection to his SCOTUS nominee and family from murderous Demonicrat rage.

RBG just died and already the baby-killing democrats are terrified that a pro-life judge could possibly be placed on the Supreme Court. They are panicking that the ruling that spread the abortion practice all over 48 states that didn’t really have it before by violating the 10th and 11th Amendments to the Constitution. Please read below:

10th AMENDMENT

11TH AMENDMENT

Biden supporters?

Democrat thugs didn’t burn down the pharmacy then kill the police officer? Democrat thugs are off their game.

Maybe a poll was taken and killing the Senate Leader and burning down his home didn’t poll well.

...over 8 million people will die. It is a grim statistic of the Tree of Liberty. Although a pittance to the death of 42 million during Mao’s “3 years of difficulty and starvation.”

Actually, if you compare the population of China with ours, the numbers are pretty relative. It is not anything for which a sane person could wish.

My guess? As far as he was concerned, you were just another predator looking to get at the juicy bits under the hard shell.
