Mitch McConnell may want to stick to the delivery: the dinner of the Senate Majority Leader was interrupted by four furious protesters this weekend, marking at least the third time since July that the Conservative legislature was confronted by his constituents in restaurants.
The incident took place on Friday night at Havana Rumba, a Cuban restaurant in Louisville, Kentucky, according to TMZ. McConnell and his wife, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, seem to have finished dinner after being approached by four men.
Sequences video apparently captured by another guest (who can be heard on the recording saying that she will "sell [the video] to TMZ ") depicts an angry man shouting at McConnell to" get out of here, "suggesting" Why do not you leave the whole country? And saying, "They will come for social security".
A man outside the video frame is heard telling the recorder that he has also grabbed McConnell's leftover box and thrown it out. The other guests seen in the video seem irritated by the situation, pointing to the man and encouraging him to leave. Per TMZ, "McConnell … then thanked some of his supporters by shaking their hands."
Back in July, McConnell was followed by a group of angry protesters from the Bristol Bar & Grille in Louisville. The next day he left the Italian restaurant Sarino at half-meal after a group of people wearing a megaphone had clashed in chanting "No justice, no peace" and blasted Public Enemy " Fight the Power ".
This is just the latest incident in a series of public confrontations with Trump administration officials at restaurants: notably, in June, press officer Sarah Huckabee Sanders was kicked out of Lexington's Red Hen restaurant in Virginia; In July, a dinner party asked Scott Pruitt, then chief of the EPA, to resign from his post in a D.C. restaurant (he resigned several days later.)
Havana Rumba's phone went unanswered early Monday morning before it opened, and the restaurant did not immediately respond to a request for comment via email.
