[@joejablonski3835]

How do we know that the people who are getting yelled at are not paying these people to do it ? They seem to know it helps there cause..

[@AZOffRoadster]

Asa Coe Cody's Showdy is great.

[@davecartwright9783]

VOTE OUT DIRTY LYING REPUBLICANS !! THEY ATE SPEWING LIES FOR VOTES !! DONT BELIEVE THEM !!! TRUMP AND MCCONNELL ARE COMING AFTER SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE/MEDICAID AFTER IF THEY WIN !!! DONT LET THEM DO IT !!!

[@wandaferrer6527]

I would have been more civil, I would have offered a unique condiment that would have a particular effect or a special dessert that would have had a similar result. One thing is that both he and his wife would be unable to work for a few days. It is interesting that he was in a CUBAN restaurant. How ironic.

[@YTGetReal]

McConnell was the one who decided he would screw the people for the money (he knows what's up next Medicaid Medicare and social security)

[@madcat4301]

Just can't bring myself to feel sorry for McConnell. He wants to hurt a lot of people out here.

[@theperspectrum8517]

After a lot of the crap McConnell has pulled recently he shouldn't be surprised by this. That being said I agree that it's not okay to get physical.

[@debbiehoward7627]

If the "representatives" actually held town halls and listened to those they are supposed to be representing, maybe folks wouldn't scream at them in public.

[@dikheel]

That happens when you skip your town halls and give time to your paymaster rather than voters.

[@fennneume3025]

Hey Mitch, if you don't want to be publicly shamed, maybe you should behave in a way that's less shameful

[@mariabeltran1690]

10+ !

[@RigelOrionBeta]

"When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny." - Thomas Jefferson I remember right wingers liked to throw this line out when Obama was in power. For some reason they don't seem to say it anymore. Can't quite think of why.

[@davidschlessinger9945]

this is the result of ignoring and working against your constituents- it's karma

[@wgjung1]

Throw him lettuce. Turtles like lettuce and that turtle likes lettuce a lot and also loves cocaine.

[@Cartman4wesome]

Hahahahaha Cocaine Mitch

[@Cartman4wesome]

Dont forget hes chinese family lol

[@jerseinfeld264]

There's a difference between a political pundit and a politician. We all have political views and it's not ok to yell at or bother those with political views. But when it's your job to change people's lives based upon the laws you write.... It's a completely different story.

[@Pete_952]

When people put toddlers in dog cages, I suggest they eat at home, because they deserve what they get.

[@kennethrschnear6926]

I am so proud that Kyle is welcome on your show. I watch him as well and it's cool to hear your discussions. Great job!

[@Star-Explorers]

Are you Mitch McConnell? No Soup For You!! ;)

[@MrSmallANDLoud]

They want the poor to LITERALLY die. They can take a few shouts .

[@raymondr4287]

How he thinks he can just go out and not get yelled at is amazing to me. His history of doing terrible things to gain money and power and then act like he has done nothing wrong. How does he sleep at night.

[@virtuosovip2]

Anna is consistently right on this issue. Mitch McConnell has used his power to do harm and violence to untold numbers of people. The fact that we're sitting here arguing on whether or not he should be able to eat his dinner in peace is inane.

[@gallowglass3764]

Virtuoso right. The main discussion we should be having is how to win elections. The democrats are losers. The republicans have absolute control over the government because the dems are weaklings. But I agree with Kyle. Screaming at republicans is just going to create more republicans.

[@kathyk-h-w1874]

They won't hold town halls or answer questions--they really should expect it. They are horrible people with a huge amount of power over our lives--it's called consequences

[@jenniferjean]

They only answer to their rich donors, not the American people

[@siahwashn9794]

This guy has destroyed millions of lives and took part in killing a million in Iraq. I say these guys were too easy on him.

[@johnbrown7084]

do you realize how much damage this monster has do, he should be tried for treason.

[@martebar]

Yeah, cause all revolution against overwhelming power has always been polite...

[@milesgraham9645]

mitch's policies leave people hungry. maybe seeing his food on the floor might illustrate the pain he has caused?

[@KayossSZ]

It's about time that the people who have screwed over this country finally face real consequences for their actions.

[@tylershepard4269]

I would yell at them in the restaurant, that’s called free speech. But I don’t support throwing people’s food away, that’s destruction of property. However, I don’t feel that bad for him.

[@seanoleary2348]

Why didn't he just poke his head under his shell?

[@bigfatbaataed]

One has to remember these are the same politician that won't hold town hall meeting to listen to their constituents...

[@lami2909]

I'm glad this happened to him. Mitch deserves much worse.

[@Uzi-Bane]

Please bring Kyle more often ,fits the panel like a glove

[@tinaschlobohm9386]

People are angry about what these politicians are doing to America. I don't condone touching ANYONE or ANYTHING of theirs but shriek as loud as you like.

[@danielthomas1898]

I cant believe mitch McConnell has the balls to go out in public. This was a mild interaction to be honest.

[@posthumanistpotato]

Mitch is a monster. Publicly shaming is only the tip of what should happen to him.

[@carolusrex6171]

William McDonald ...I agree. Just the tip.

[@bellsTheorem1138]

They weren't shouting at him for his political views. They were shouting at him fo knowingly fleecing the American middle class for his corporate donors. It's his business model.

[@Zulu.]

Are we sure that is even real? Did McConnell stage his own "Mob" event?

[@columbostuntdouble1391]

By the way, if you're getting f**** with in public maybe you should rethink your stance on what you're doing for the public

[@lizatanzawa7910]

These (nonviolent) incidents give us a new take on who the majority really is. They let us know we aren't alone.

[@lanabanana8265]

Mitchy Mitch's politics is killing people every day, if the poor baby gets yelled at for it, I have trouble caring.

[@sjchevalier07]

Leave the turtle's food alone,but keep shouting at him!

[@twopieye69420]

Big difference between you guys being yelled at and Mitch being yelled at is that you guys didn't dismantle democracy yo

[@pageturner1401]

He went there for a reason, he knew Exactly what would happen, so that it would be on KZbin.

[@RJPrahinski]

Yes. I believe it will be used to promote the Democratic "Mob" mentality that the Republicans are pushing ...

[@Greenscyth22]

As long as no physical harm came to the old coot I'm just peachy with any choice words a American citizen has to say to him.

[@mr.c7522]

He doesn't mind taking food for the elderly

[@Grendelbc]

The turtle goes out in public without security?? Oh, he's got to be made to regret that. Being an evil prick should have nasty consequences.

[@hc8181]

Make life uncomfortable as possible for him as he makes it for working Americans

[@jamestepera3356]

Actually he makes it hard for non-working Americans

[@rwat1106]

Lawmakers *should* be accountable to the people, up to, and including, threats to their personal safety. What happened to the government fearing the people?

[@chipwalter4490]

the Coporatocracy has convinced all cattle to obey or be electrocuted with the cattle prod. Poor Mitch was out of his bubble (shrinking bubble, uh-oh!)

[@vertdellsolovely4421]

This is not the time to protest,should have waited til he came out but not assault him.I don't like this dude either .

[@Telluwide]

I love it! I love public confrontation everywhere. These scumbags have insulated themselves so much it's the only way the common man can confront those in power.! Keep it up! The more the better! I agree with Ana on the drawing the line at physicality. Also, those who do public confrontation in situations like these should also understand that less is more. Believe me, he got the message. All the yelling and sounding like a lunatic, the physicality loses those you wish to ally with and have on your side.

[@LadyPenumbra]

People are not shouting at him for his "political opinions" but for his hate driven policy. For his voting record.

[@PenguinApple]

a voting record basically is the manifestation of political opinions isn't it?

[@smoketreeseverydayrh]

I dont. When you give the people no voice, we will take it by force. You better watch your ass McConnell, we are coming for you and your whole crew

[@timothyo718]

Dr. Smoke r/iamverybadass

[@jamestepera3356]

Liberals dont take anything by force.....what a joke...

[@Latnman101]

I am all for that guy screaming. More power to him.

[@fukubaby]

Turtle-necked Mitch should crawl back to his safe space if he doesn't like it.

[@azurmarlinW]

Obviously this is not ok, but honestly it seems like the only accountability nowadays. People talk about how uncivil this is, while these guys destroy the basis for living and the rights of millions of people.

[@dannylage7661]

Dude, that’s not nice throwing Cuban food away, now, about that neck, we can all agree that something must be done about that neck.

[@raymondr4287]

Danny Lage lol

[@OlympiaMarketing]

Lol

[@AKMcCoyInc]

I say shout them down so they feel a personal effect of their decisions. You wont get that close any other time.

[@gallowglass3764]

Won't accomplish anything. Well, except making yourself feel better. So there's that!

[@AKMcCoyInc]

@A Salamander These people like ploice officers know there are no real consequences to their action. If they knew people out in the street in your OWN neighborhood will call you out you will think before you act more often.

[@larrywhite4022]

McConnell eating in a restaurant run by immigrants! !!!!! We need to VOTE these people out, not just yell at then.

[@P1ranh4]

Money in politics drowns their voices out, that's why they have to shout when they see a politician in shouting range.

[@ericajenkins4723]

These are public figures making decisions on behalf of their constituents. He has to listen to the people he represents.

[@TerryB751]

McConnell is so addicted to control and power that if he wants to "eat out" it should be from his kitchen and just call in a pizza for delivery.

[@mariabeltran1690]

Open your eyes, the Republicans do it on purpose, they want to look like little angels to get the votes, We know they are Devils and just ignore them or they'll get what they want! Bunch of "Retardicans"!

[@dreembarge]

MM takes bread from the poor to buy cake for the rich. He's despicable.

[@steveky7829]

We shout and throw out food , they send pipe bombs... who wins

[@Romancefantasy]

Lucky we don't tar and feather politicians anymore.

[@soccerguy325]

Wouldn't feel unlucky if we did that to Bitch McConnell.

[@themadmattster9647]

I support the restaurant protests

[@RobotShlomo]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaw poor Mithcy Boo Boo!! He thought his money and status would insulate him from the people he was supposed to serve. He was wrong. As far as throwing his food out, aren't McConnell's policies taking food out of the mouths of people he's claiming to serve?

[@AWARHERO]

Get in the politician's faces.... That's the MOST effective way.

[@ransom182]

“I’m gunna sell it to TMZ” how American! 😂🤣

[@chipwalter4490]

TMZ got it, too

[@TheEtbetween]

Don't take the job if don't want the pressure.

[@romo_1598]

We should be able to exercise out first amendment to the fullest before they take that away from us.

[@misha9573]

Scream at them all you want. Don't touch them, or their stuff. They paid for the food, its their property. Don't be travelling the low roads.

[@SgtRock420]

Libtards have been instructed to behave this way by their masters. Their masters are having great difficulty dealing with their loss of power.

[@Rhyas9]

Do unto others what you would want others to do unto you. Disrupting a man's meal isn't something I would do. But having said that, if you are a crooked politician, you can't expect people with an axe to grind to leave you alone.

[@larvitardratini5965]

If I worked there I would have shit in their food

[@MWhaleK]

If Yurtle the Turtle don't want to get yelled at he should either stop being a horrible person or get out of politics. Also while I disagree with how far the protester went, damn if I don't admire his cojones!!

[@steven7936]

You can see the turtle slowly retract back into his shell.

[@MichelleX]

These elected officials were given a job to work for the people. If they don't want to do their job, yet still want to go out and enjoy a service provided by the people, I absolutely feel like it can be made to be a miserable experience for said official. There has to be some recourse and so far there hasn't been. The people he serves have every right to make his public life miserable. That said, no violence, no touching - there's better ways.

[@cloverjoker]

It's fine, it's free speech. Yes, it could be turned against other people and so what. But I don't think it's a coincidence that the people being confronted are just terrible public officials that don't listen to people. Hate like this goes beyond simple disagreement, Mitch steps in people's cornflakes and ignores them. And now people are confronting him in restaurants to get his attention. Don't shit where you eat Mitch. But throwing throwing out his food is unacceptable. Anything physical is not only wrong and illegal but is deterrent to your cause

[@jenniferjean]

Mitch wants to take everything from me. I'm not rich. I have zero compassion for him.

[@waynemorgan2560]

So you're not rich. How exactly is he taking anything away from you then? Oh you mean he won't redirect the wealth of others directly to yours truly, got it.

[@jenniferjean]

morgan aren't you smart. I suppose on top of that you speak for me. Moron.

[@waynemorgan2560]

You still haven't addressed how he is taking anything that is yours away from you.

[@jenniferjean]

morgan I don't answer to you. Enough said.

[@waynemorgan2560]

So what you actually mean is you won't extrapolate on how he is taking anything away from you because the reality of the situation is that he isn't. OK got it.

[@MrFritzzz666]

Public figure: public always. TEA Baggers did it and were lauded. When we cannot get thru to public figures: we have only confrontation. NO PHYSICAL CONTACT.

[@lauracozzarelli3789]

I hope they gave him the ‘special sauce’ on his ropa vieja

[@Pad_See_Ew]

Wouldn't touch him or his food. But verbally, all in. Free speech

[@nancysherry9088]

a sign outside any establishment barring unwanted customers EVEN POLITICIANS, would speak more words than any food flung. how bout this sort of sign, *bought politicians not allowed*

[@VogtTD]

They are not shouting about his views but his actions

[@petertherealist7089]

didnt know turtles ate cuban food , will have to start getting it in for my pets

[@stuartphelps3293]

I live in Louisville, KY. Which is an overwhelmingly liberal city in a deeply conservative state. If He wants to eat in peace, he can go anywhere else in the state. This and the other incident where he was yelled at is actually in the most liberal neighborhood in the city. Ditch Mitch

[@christine8823]

Really? you have mixed feelings, eh? I have zero mixed feelings about Mitch McConnell hearing how his horrible policies are effecting real people.

[@TheSoulCourier]

As much as Mitch deserves to have his ass whooped for trying to steal money people work and pay into, this gives these idjits ammo when they call us unhinged. Shouting them out, fine. Grabbing and throwing out his food......i dunno. He definitely deserves it. I dont think its gonna help. I've been wrong before tho.

[@thomasridley8675]

If they wont take our meesages we will take what we can get.

[@michellepartridge8558]

He needs to be thrown out of government and straight into prison.

[@mariabeltran1690]

or to a Mental Institution in a straight jacket...

[@thomasridley8675]

Wasnt it the gop that threw out the rules? So game on.

[@jmorris023]

Don't wanna get yelled at? Don't become a politician.

[@mikeodell6090]

The violence perpetrated by the right against people that doesn't involve them lifting one finger against anyone but has real life physical harm , makes this look small in comparison .

[@bigearl33]

WOW how can Mitch McConnell eat food with all the MARBLES IN HIS MOUTH

[@TheToltec]

Not the way to do it as far as touching him or his food

[@jaynegrant3133]

I find it so funny that the anti-immigrant Republicans are trying to dine in international cuisine restaurants.

[@1cioda]

There's some Dante level irony there.

[@jayhi5479]

😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@davez5418]

Jayne Grant Why is that funny? You dont have to invite every culture in your country just because you like said countrys food. Your comment is beyond stupid.

[@jamestepera3356]

@Zach456 or even Asian. Like McConnell's wife. Nice try

[@garyesposito192]

looks like that large glass of milk in front of mitch is starting to curdle.

[@StefanBacon]

We should absolutely be publicly shaming and tormenting dangerous sociopaths whenever we see them in public. That said, becoming unhinged is not advisable.

[@paulp5219]

These people don't attend Town Halls. They don't answer their constituents emails or phone calls. They have consistently made themselves "unavailable" to "We the People." So I have no problems with people protesting them at restaurants or other public places. As for going to their houses; don't trespass on their property. But the sidewalk and street is public property, so have it, Hoss!

[@tbjw1]

They don't attend Town Hall meetings and yet they go to a restaurant in a generally liberal community. Sounds kinda fishy to me.

[@ExiledGypsy]

The question is how many of those people shouting in the restaurant voted the last time they had a chance. Shouting with a group of your friends is easy but registering and standing in queue or filling a form and posting it in a timely fashion is not so easy.

[@ajm1216]

Whenever you see Mitch and his darling wife dining out for their favorite sandwich/burger, make sure they get the “special sauce!” 😂

[@arthurneddysmith]

When Fred Phelps was able to stalk the funerals of a family whose son had been tortured to death and yell out over the funeral about how the son was in hell, it’s hard to argue that yelling at a politician during dinner is “uncivil”.

[@lowetacarroll8320]

McConnell has been a contemptible, self serving, liar his entire career. No accountability. Welcome to accountability Mitch.

[@erzan]

Republicans kidnapping children. Reaction: ... Liberal throws food Reaction: 😵 OH NOOOO!

[@aquariusashley94]

Exactly!

[@weregonnaneedsmallerhandcu5372]

Get at me when they're physically injuring him. Until then it's all fair game.

[@lyni50]

I don’t have a problem with this at all. I just don’t.

[@Alamaric]

Well considering Mitch has food that can be thrown out because with his proposed cuts for tax cuts 2.0, he will be cutting SSI and Medicare where his constituents, particularly the elderly in his state may not be able to buy food to even be able to throw out.
