[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The restaurant where House Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and his wife, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, were heckled by protesters last Friday evening in Louisville issued a statement saying it regrets that the incident occurred and that its staff was caught off guard.

“We strongly believe everyone should feel welcome and safe in our restaurants,” the management of Havana Rumba, a Cuban restaurant with three locations in the Louisville area, wrote on Facebook. “It was Friday night in the middle of the rush and our staff was caught off guard as the incident developed quickly. Once we were aware of the situation we acted quickly and efficiently to assure that everyone was safe.”

In a video posted on TMZ, McConnell, R- Ky., and Chao appeared to be finishing up their meal on Friday when they were approached by four men. One of the men began shouting at the Kentucky lawmaker, saying “get out of here” and “Why don’t you leave the entire country?”

The man also allegedly grabbed McConnell’s box of leftovers and threw it outside.

1. I don't support this type of protest.

2. The person I would want to talk to is Elaine Chao.

Her family came her in the sixties. Someone paved her way and it was my family.My grandmother was arrested in 1910 for being with my grandfather(she was german) and my dad couldn't swim in the public pools in St. Louis. I would ask her "I hope you don't think you made it on your own" Let her know someone suffered so she could make it.

3. Does anyone know anything about the

supposed protesters ? Have heard nothing.

4. If it happened, it shouldn't have.

If it was a protest, I don't blame them for their anger. Do I believe it was a real protest and not a setup propaganda scene? 50/50. I wouldn't put it by McConnell or his ilk to concoct it. Either way it shouldn't happen; it's not in the best interests of Democrats.

5. It's Just Wrong

Wrong when they do it ...

Wrong when we do it ...

Demonizing people is very different than opposing their ideas and policies.

Let's promote and explain our ideas and discredit theirs.

Let's reach out to every voter with a message of inclusion and opportunity with less name-calling and condescension.

Be the bigger person, not the loudest and most angry.

6. Fuck McConnell.

When you threaten to mess around with people’s livelihoods, this is what happens.
