Protesters confront McConnell leaving Kentucky restaurant
By Morgan Gstalter - 07/07/18 06:45 PM EDT

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.

Time to begin cracking skulls. You don't have the right to intimidate public officials.

"Free speech" today means to run people out of restaurants and harass them down the street or to shut down major highways and interstates to force everyone to feel your grievances.

However, it is illegal to refuse to bake a homosexual wedding cake on your own property or business or to fly the flag when it is seen as offensive to the Aggrieved Classes.

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

Not the wisest move throwing shade at the modern day Pablo Escobar.
