| The most unpopular lawmaker in the United States is Mitch McConnell. Once again, protesters ambush him and his wife. |
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao faced the wrath of protesters at a local Louisville restaurant. The two were filmed looking pretty uneasy.
Video obtained by TMZ show the Majority Leader getting yelled at by constituents. Even a protester snatched his food and throw it on the ground.
McConnell appeared unfazed by the actions.
In the past two weeks, Republicans have called the protesters a mob inspired by the Democrats and progressive activists.
McConnell rammed through Brett Kavanaugh despite three women accusing him of sexual assault while under the influence of alcohol. He has vowed to support Donald J. Trump's nominees for the Supreme Court. He denied Barack Obama's third pick for the Supreme Court. He also plots to pay for the massive tax cuts by slashing entitlement programs like Medicaid, Medicare, the Affordable Care Act and the SNAP program (food stamps). He also is pumping dark money into races where Democrats are struggling.
"Why don't you get out of here?" a man screamed at the Senate Majority Leader in the video obtained by TMZ. "Why don’t you leave the entire country?"
The woman who recorded the video at the Havana Rumba restaurant told TMZ that "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" before she began filming.
She added that the diner cited the senator's stance on Social Security and health care as his main issues.
There was also reportedly "some dispute" over the bill before McConnell and his wife, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, left the restaurant, the woman added. They spoke with a waiter and a manager about the bill before exiting.
Mind you, yelling at lawmakers isn't illegal.
No one was hurt.
However, you can sense the anger that Donald J. Trump brought to America. While the right is pointing fingers at Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) for inciting progressives to ambush Republicans, the Democrats cite Trump for his brutal attacks on lawmakers and the junk food media.
Trump has supported that Montana congressman Greg Gianforte. The lawmaker then a candidate body slammed a reporter for The Guardian.
Yelling at lawmakers won't change their minds.
The only way you can change this.is mainly vote.

Restore sanity to the country. Under Trump, people of color are suffering. With white people calling the law on Black people minding their business, it appears infuriating that we allow our lawmakers to continue to justify this. McConnell, Lindsey Graham and the rest of the Republicans are getting their talking points from the same bunch of folks who profit off dividing this country. The Republicans are using the same old tired playbook given to them by Rush Limbaugh, Sean "Softball" Hannity, The Drudge Report, Fox News and Breitbart. They are fully engaged in the culture war.
Instead of talking about the economy, the demise of Sears/Kmart, gun violence, the continuous Brett Kavanaugh hearing or the failure to fix immigration. They rather get you upset over comments made by entertainers and opinion agitators. The Republican Party is accepting white extremism within its ranks.
The Republican Party has control of the White House, Congress, state governorships and the junk food media. Why are they complaining about the obstruction from the Democrats?
They control almost everything.
They won't if we don't get our asses out to vote this Midterm. The price is too great to allow Trump continue the course he's going.
