Opponents of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have devised a strategy back home to ruin his meal whenever he goes out in public.
For the third time in as many months, McConnell was confronted last night by angry diners who loudly berated him for his politics.
The Kentucky Senator was eating dinner with his wife at Havana Rumba in Louisville, when 4 men confronted him.
The main aggressor screams at McConnell, “Why don’t you get out of here? Why don’t you leave the entire country?”
The woman who shot the video, who later sold it to TMZ, said the main aggressor slammed his fists down on McConnell’s table, grabbed his doggie bag and threw the food out the door of the restaurant.
The woman says the main gripe seemed to be McConnell’s position on Social Security and health care.
McConnell recently said entitlement programs are the main cause of massive debt. The woman says before she started shooting, the main aggressor was screaming that McConnell was killing people with his views.
McConnell kept his cool and afterward thanked some of his supporters, shaking their hands.
It’s a little discouraging that anyone would berate political leaders while they are simply trying to have a nice meal, but let’s face it, the Trump era has allowed a whole bunch of ugliness to boil up.
McConnell didn’t help matters any by jamming through the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, after he had refused to hold one hearing for Barack Obama’s nominee Merrick Garland.
