Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Friday that he wouldn't be "intimidated" by protesters who have confronted him in public several times this year.
"I'm not sure what about my career has led them to believe that I am easily intimidated. ... This is all about intimidation. It's not about persuasion but about intimidation. And I assure you I will not be intimidated by these groups of socialists who apparently prefer open borders," McConnell told reporters in Kentucky.
McConnell and his wife, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, were confronted as they left an event near Washington last month by protesters over supporting detained families who were caught crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally.
Protesters heckled McConnell again at two restaurants in Kentucky over the weekend, according to the Courier Journal, urging him to look at abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
"Honestly, I enjoyed my lunch and I'm just sorry that other people at the restaurant seemed to be inconvenienced by all of this. But it's not about persuasion. It's about intimidation. I will not be intimidated by these people," McConnell added on Friday.

As much as I hate that guy he has done a phenomenal job with the judges
Dragon Lady will defend him.
You are right. And the dividends of McConnell getting Gorsuch are already paying off
“”””” but I still am grateful to Mitch McConnell, for holding the line, holding the Supreme Court vacancy after Scalia died, so that Trump could fill that vacancy.”””””””””””””””””””””
He was holding it open for hillary, probably at her request.
She probably showed him his file she keeps for such occasions. Remember, Turtle and everyone else in DC knew the fix was in for her.
Anyone who is open-borders yet locks their door at night, or tries to keep anyone out, is a lying hypocrite. There is no difference between one’s own front door and national borders.
This has always been my position. Yet the morons on the Left continue. We are dealing with morons and domestic terrorists.
COCAINE MITCH!!!
>>He certainly isn’t intimidated by conservatives.<<
Boy that’s the post of the day!
Yes, kind of like the vote that Cornyn made on the liberal judge to confirm him. Cornyn, the liberals and turtle already have something cooked up on the USSC nominee.
These leftist crazies are going to drive some Vichy RINOs into harder positions, closer to Trump.
It drives me nuts. Our local university president always includes ‘we’re against walls’ in his speeches to great applause. Yet, somehow, you have to apply, be accepted, present all the required documentation, register, and pay, to take classes here. Education is a key to a better life, why shouldn’t anyone and everyone be able to show for classes, regardless?
Yes he’s done well on the SC so far. And in pointing
out who these Pearce- socialists - and that they are thugs using intimidation.
Each time they get away with it, they get emboldened.
I didn’t think they reacted to logic and intelligence at all. That’s usually when they start with name calling.

Amen...read my tagline.
Well, at least he's up to calling them "socialist" instead of democrats... That's an improvement.. He's apparently still afraid to call them what they really are, communist..!
Oh-Oh.... I think you stepped in now..!!
Your post is the most ignorant, stupid, asinine and mentally disabled one I have ever read on FR and I have read many. I was holding back, too.

Take the small victory and move on towards the greater victory.
Good for Mitch. Now get the Judges pushed through including the Supreme Court nominee.
Mitch is starting to grow on me, I have to admit.
