Pro-open borders protesters confronted Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and his wife, US Secretary of Transportation, Elaine Chao as they were leaving a Georgetown event Monday evening.
McConnell’s wife screamed at the protesters, “Leave my husband alone!”
Hispanic protesters [all appear to be males] approached the Republicans as they were walking out of a Georgetown event.
The protesters blasted Propublica’s audio of children separated from their families as they accused McConnell of ‘separating the children.’ McConnell’s wife, Elaine Chao repeatedly told them to ‘leave her husband alone.’
Protesters continued to scream, “How does he sleep at night?!” as Senator McConnell and his wife got into the vehicle.
Where was security? Why were the protesters allowed to get so close to Senator McConnell and his wife Elaine Chao?
Senator McConnell was struck with Polio when he was 2 years old, leaving him handicapped. This is why he slowly and carefully walked down the steps while holding onto the railing as protesters approached him.
A protester who identifies as “Roberto” posted a video to his Twitter account on Tuesday stating, “We confronted @SenateMajLdr and @SecElaineChao with @ProPublica audio of children separated from their families at the border while leaving a @Georgetown event. We must #AbolishICE & #AbolishCBP! #FreedomforImmigrants
