Protesters confronted Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) as he was leaving a restaurant in his home state on Saturday.

The group threatened to vote McConnell out of office as he walked out of the Bristol Bar & Grille in Louisville and got into his car, The Courier Journal reported.

Video recordings of the encounter show other demonstrators chanting “Abolish ICE” and “No justice, no peace.”

A protester demanded to know where the migrant children where after being separated from their families.

Any where. Any time. If you see one, protest! These people have moved beyond civility. Starting with Joe "you lie" Wilson to the illegally elected president. They are stealing this country and have gotten away with it too long. We need to be heard.
