Protesters gather outside McConnell's home on day Trump expected to make Supreme Court nomination

Source: MSN

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – About a dozen protesters gathered outside Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's home on Saturday afternoon.

It's the second consecutive Saturday protesters have been there, and one said they plan to return every Saturday until the election in November.

The dozen or so protesters used spoons to hit pots and pans while they chanted "Vote him out" and "Say her name," referring to Breonna Taylor, the 26-year-old killed by police in March.

Melissa Beckham Born said she lives in the neighborhood and wanted to remind McConnell about his stance on not filling a U.S. Supreme Court vacancy during an election year.

I am surprised that the police did not crack down. You would think that such protests are only protected by the First Amendment if it involves a civil servant public health officer being harassed by Qanon anti-maskers.
