Elaine Chao confronts immigration protesters, defends husband Mitch McConnell

A group of protesters fired up about the Trump administration's immigration policies confronted Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and his wife Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao on Monday night, the latest in a string of confrontations between activists and Trump administration officials.

"Why are you separating families?" one man in the group asks the couple as they left a dinner at Georgetown University. A Twitter user posted footage of the encounter.

Chao fired back: "Why don't you leave my husband alone?" as the protesters played audio obtained by ProPublica of crying immigrant children who were separated from their parents at the border under the Trump administration's zero tolerance policy.

McConnell remained silent for the duration of the heated exchange.

"You leave him alone!" Chao said, pointing fingers at the protesters as a security officer ushered her to a nearby car.

He's got a barking dog to protect him.  Good for him.

now this would have been a perfect time to tell those, protesters..."go back to where you came from!" and then call the ICE's or ISIS (cube and t) to handle them rowdy illegal immigrants.
