You have the power to make this all go away, Mitch McConnell—listen to your constituents

Who’s afraid of these ladies? Mitch McConnell, that’s who.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell couldn’t make it a few hundred yards from his airport terminal to a waiting SUV limo at baggage claim without running into angry constituents. Rather than take a few minutes to talk with this handful of women, he took a more cowardly route—jumping into an SUV limo on the tarmac and speeding away.

Watch as Rep. John Yarmuth was greeted with applause and smiles as a cowardly Senator Mitch McConnell scampered away like a thief in the night.

x Haha. After flying home, McConnell refused to go through the terminal so he could avoid protesters, while Yarmuth walked through to cheers. pic.twitter.com/NWKhFXtxFD Ã¢ÂÂ Adam Smith (@asmith83) February 10, 2017

After he blew off constituents at the airport, they took the extra step of heading to his house to read Coretta Scott King’s letter via bullhorn. All of this even though they’d been warned. They got an explanation. Nevertheless, they persisted.
