Standing Up To the Mob

Maxine Waters and other Democratic Party leaders have urged members of their party to harass Republicans when they go out in public, and as far as I know, not a single prominent Democrat has denounced such mob tactics. So the number of such incidents has multiplied rapidly. What I have never understood is why the mob can get away with such disgraceful conduct. In nearly any setting, the sane outnumber the insane. The Democratic Party mob is not a majority. So why don’t ordinary citizens act to stop the craziness?

In this instance, they did. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and his wife, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, were eating dinner in a Kentucky restaurant when Democratic Party crazies (news reports say there were four) began to harass them–shouting at them, pounding on their table, and reportedly throwing their food away. But this time, at least, the normals made their feelings known. This video was shot by another diner who sold it to TMZ:

I am not as young as I once was, but if I were in a public place where the Democrats tried to implement their mob strategy, I would make things a lot more uncomfortable for the thugs than the normal diners did in this Kentucky restaurant. Still, it’s a start.

The interview of Senator McConnell by Laura Ingraham below dates back to October 5, in the immediate aftermath of the confirmation of Justice Kavanaugh tp the Supreme Court. Senator McConnell explicitly discusses the mobs opposing confirmation that Republican Senators faced at their homes prior to the vote. It is worth pausing over this interview and reflecting further on the Democrats and their supporters. This is the new Democratic normal.

Quotable quote: “We’ve been under assault, Laura. They’ve come to our homes…they’ve been after all of us….Everybody decided to stand up to the mob…They’ve come to our homes…They’ve been after all of us [Republican senators]. I just couldn’t be prouder of my members for refusing to roll over under this intense pressure, all of these lies.”

The California office of House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) was vandalized on Monday, its window smashed by a boulder.

Two young men were caught on surveillance camera outside the Bakersfield office, and McCarthy posted photos of the suspects and some of the damage on Instagram, the Daily Caller reports.

"Does anyone know these two guys? They threw a boulder thru our office window and took office equipment," McCarthy wrote.
