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.

“””” What would have been the point of “holding it for Hillary” vs. giving Obama his appointment? That would have made no difference in the make up of the Court so your comments makes even less sense. We did not even have a nominee yet when the vacancy occurred, either.””””””””””
Hillary was the inevitable winner. Do you really think anyone in DC thought a republican candidate had a chance against her and the establishment?
McConnell = globalist Free Traitor™. KY needs to dump him.
Kentucky?
There are leftists in Kentucky.
I thought that was illegal there :)
The Turtle has plenty of issues, no doubt, but he’s by far not the worst of the swamp in Washington. Compare him to McCain and you see what I mean.
Any bets on whether he hired them to harass him during lunch so he could get up on his high horse and go all Atticus Finch.
Considering she was consistently running behind in the polls to several candidates and she had sky-high negatives, yes...especially since she was having trouble winning her own party’s primaries in several states.
And you didn’t answer my question.
You must not follow politics very closely. She was the pre approved heir apparent. The election was to be a mere formality.
