Patrons at a Mexican restaurant in D.C. recognized Trump aide Stephen Miller and took him to task on Sunday for his hand in the administration’s “zero-tolerance” immigration policy, according to a Wednesday New York Post report.

One kept his message simple, yelling “fascist!”

Another invoked sarcasm: “Hey look guys, whoever thought we’d be in a restaurant with a real-life fascist begging [for] money for new cages?”

Miller reportedly did not respond but moved away from the hecklers inside the restaurant.

The altercation occurred two days before Miller’s coworker, DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, was confronted by protesters at another D.C. Mexican joint, though she left the restaurant after enduring about 10 minutes of cries of “shame!” and “have you listened to it? Do you hear the babies crying?”

  1. They must really love having food with spit in it.

  2. Careful here folks.

    They might come for your First Amendment rights, next.

    No shouting “Fascist” in a crowded restaurant!

  3. Miller went out looking for this, I guarantee it.

    Edit: I will caveat that with the fact that I thought this happened AFTER the Nielsen incident when I said it, but apparently that’s not the case…shouldn’t have skimmed the article so quickly haha. Still, it’s a nice dose of schadenfreude.

  4. “Hi, Stephen Miller here to tell you that nothing goes better with the screams of Mexican infants than a plate of hot enchiladas and an ice-cold Corona.”
