Protesters confronted Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) as he was leaving a restaurant in his home state on Saturday.
The group threatened to vote McConnell out of office as he walked out of the Bristol Bar & Grille in Louisville and got into his car, The Courier Journal reported.
Video recordings of the encounter show other demonstrators chanting “Abolish ICE” and “No justice, no peace.”
A protester demanded to know where the migrant children where after being separated from their families.
“Where are the babies, Mitch?” a protester was recorded asking in a video. The comments seemingly come in reference to the thousands of migrant children who were separated from their parents from April to June under the Trump administrations "zero tolerance" policy.
Trump moved to end family separations last month by signing an executive order, though no provision was made for the families who had already been separated.
A federal judge gave the Trump administration until late Saturday to release a list of the roughly 100 migrant children under the age of five who were detained separately from their parents upon being apprehended after entering the United States illegally.
The newspaper noted that a large rally was held in downtown Louisville on Saturday morning to protest Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
McConnell did not appear to react or acknowledge the protesters, the newspaper reported.
“We did good, fellow citizens,” a protester said as McConnell’s car pulled away.
This is the second time in recent weeks that McConnell has been confronted over the Trump administration’s immigration policies.
McConnell and his wife, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, were met by protesters while leaving a dinner at Georgetown University last month.
Trump's Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen has been approached several times by protesters, while out at a Mexican restaurant and at home, over the zero tolerance policy.
not really a great yardstick to give mcconnell support by.
in the battle of the suck, he sucks less.
no one picks that as tgeir campaign slogan.
The dumpster behind Planned Parenthood.
How long has McConnell been in the Congress? And they just realized he’s so evil that they need to accost him at a restaurant?
Dear left wing. Once I raise myself up to answer your aggression that is unwarranted, I’m not sitting down again until you’ve all been pacified
McConnell just got a taste of what Trump’s people have been suffering ever since the election.
We could ask the baby-part-crunching 'Planned Parenthood' crowd the same thing. Demonrats have NO PLACE to solicit sympathy for children, because they murder them by the millions.
Bingo, you said it better than me, brother.
Imagine if conservatives harassed Obama staffers and Democrat officials during his two terms.
The group threatened to vote him out of office?
Why don’t they just do it instead of just threatening him?
Does anyone else think this is completely ludicrous?
During the Vietnam War, miscreants just like these were accusing our GIs of killing babies.
I love this - they may piss Mitch off enough to actually push a lot more of Trump’s agenda.....
If they act like this when they’re not in charge...just wait until they are.
Agree. Bloood will be spilled ... buckets of it.
I was going to say. What are FREEPERS doing at that restaurant?. Lol.
It’s interesting to me that the fascists are shouting “No comfort for fascists”. Haha. They do look pretty uncomfortable to me.
That would have been a GREAT come back
