McConnell On Anti-Kavanaugh Protesters: ‘We Will Not Be Intimidated By These People’

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on Wednesday accused people protesting against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh — namely, those who are “chasing my members around the hall here, or harassing them at the airports, or going to their homes” — of trying to “bully and intimidate” members of the Senate. “There is no chance in the world they are going to scare us out of doing our duty,” he said.

    No Mitch, it’s the purest distillation of We The People.

    Good. They’re actually trying to scare him into doing his duty.

    And they shouldn’t even have to do that.

  3. Of course the GOP won’t. Protestors don’t contribute enough money or write enough “position papers” to get noticed.

  4. Democracy McConnell. And, exactly what do you think your “duty” is? Pushing alcoholic, lying, sexual predators onto the Supreme Court? You are a disgusting excuse for a human being.

  5. I mean, did you see that angry, shouting, crying man trying to bully Senators last Thursday?!
