Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and his wife, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, were confronted by some angry diners at a restaurant on Friday night.
TMZ obtained video of a man appearing to shout at McConnell, “Why don’t you get out of here? Why don’t you leave the entire country?”
TMZ’s report says that the man in the video was angry about Social Security and health care, and he “slammed his fists down on McConnell’s table, grabbed his doggie bag and threw the food out the door of the restaurant.”
The Louisville Courier Journal has more details on the incident, and in addition to the man in the video, there was apparently one woman who “loudly stated that McConnell is a ‘traitor’ as others clapped and joined in.”
A spokesperson for McConnell told the Courier Journal, “They hope other patrons weren’t too inconvenienced by left-wing tantrums. As the Leader often says, the Senate will not be intimidated by the antics of far-left protesters.”

I would recommend that the Senator and his wife patronize kosher restaurants. They are far less likely to encounter the kind of animals that they met here.
