No restaurant in Louisville, Kentucky, is safe for Mitch McConnell, it seems. Protesters followed the Senate Majority Leader to his dinner destination on Sunday night, blasting Public Enemy’s “Fight the Power” and chanting “no justice, no peace.” McConnell and his group was forced to leave Italian restaurant Sarino mid-meal due to the disturbance, according to the Courier Journal.
The episode follows a lunch in Louisville over the weekend after which McConnell was chased by protesters yelling “Vote him out!” “Abolish ICE!” and “Go home!” (McConnell is based in Louisville when he’s not in Washington, D.C.)
A bartender who works at the restaurant next door, Nick Hulstine, saw the protesters coming and offered up his speaker system to play “Fight the Power.” One of the protesters had a mega-phone, and a group of about 10 entered the restaurant while McConnell was dining. According to passers-by, the staff at Sarino wanted to serve McConnell, and were yelling at the protesters to leave. Some staff began to escort the protesters out. Ultimately, it was McConnell who left, with bodyguards and in unmarked cars this time, per the Courier Journal.
“They did it to hold McConnell accountable,” Jesus Ibañez, an organizer for Occupy ICE in Louisville, confirmed to the Courier Journal. Though McConnell opposed the Trump administrations separation of children from their parents at the border, he does support the administration’s other immigration policies, including forced detainment.

I never thought this coward/chickenhawk ever got the call. I see the murkiness as his white male privilege at work here. He is like the rest in the gaggle of RW cowards that make up the GOP aka NPA.
"In the letter, Cooper advises the major general that ‘Mitchell anxious to clear post in order to enroll NYU. Please advise when final action can he expected.”
According to the Registrar’s Office at New York University, no record exists that
McConnell ever applied or enrolled for classes at that university. McConnell attended
UK and earned a law degree in 1967 before he enlisted in the Army reserve."
and
"Representatives from McConnell’s office offered two differing statements regarding McConnell’s discharge.
“Senator McConnell had polio as a child and he never served in armed services.” said Robert Steurer, press secretary for McConnell in Washington. “I am not aware of him ever serving.”
and
"Kyle Simmons, McConnell’s campaign manager in Louisville, offered a different story about the senator’s military record during a phone conversation yesterday.
According to Simmons, McConnell enlisted for four months of active duty with the Army reserve at Fort Knox.
Simmons said that McConnell failed his physical examination as a result of a doctor’s diagnosis of McConnell having the medical condition of optic neuritis."
