Toward the end of a video, a restaurant employee can be heard asking the protesters to leave because the area is a “private space.”

I don't think you can blame the restaurant, they generally don't train for antifa or protester situations inside the business, note they asked the protesting aholes to leave.

Someone leaked the location or they were followed ie stalked, maybe they need a law
in DC against this stuff....

I ask again. Where in Hell is security for these senators?

They generally don't get Capitol Police escorts unless they're in the leadership. Most of their daily travels around the Hill are either secure buildings or in between them with lots of Cap. Police around. But even the Cap. Police escorts won't step in unless a protectee is being threatened. I think Pam Bondi (AG of FL) has been confronted a few times in public and to the point that the protester's yelling was getting spittle on her, and her state police escorts didn't step in.

I understand they only get ad hoc protection when there is a threat but last time I saw this behavior toward a senator it was Mitch McConnell and he had no security either. In this video those people were way inside Cruz' personal space. The fringe loonies are being stirred and it's just a matter of time before someone gets killed in this environment of incivility.

McConnell IS the Senate Majority Leader, so he definitely gets protection everywhere. That clip of his wife talking back was when McConnell was getting into that SUV, which was surely driven by a Cap. Police officer. But again, they won't get involved if it's not a real threat. You could always walk up and talk to Newt when he was Speaker. His security would never hassle anyone.

Let's get these obnoxious assholes names and get some volunteers to follow them everywhere they go while screaming, blowing whistles, and banging on pots and pans. Follow them until they move away or kill themselves.

We pretty much know where they work now, thanks to Project Veritas' recent videos: DOJ, State Department, GOA, etc.

The process is certainly disrespectful, however it does lead to affirmation of the type of miscreant that is tied to the D platform

Normal people do not act like this, nor do they approve of being associated with these folk or the people that allow it to happen or encourage it monetarily, by vocal approval or lack of any chiding of the acts/actors.

It is an inevitable consequence of so much face time on cable tv.

Very few people would recognize a Supreme Court Justice, but Senators are widely recognized and the more senior Congressmen probably are too. Maybe I can say that because I’m cooped up watching Fox News all day.

I was in the DC area years ago, at dinner, and a boisterous group nearby turned out to be all Congresscritters who I would never have suspected except I recognized one of the San Diego area ones. When I went over to say hello, he introduced me to the rest of them.

They only have the balls to do it to someone who has something to lose by beating them senseless,

They wouldn't dare try it with anyone else.

Someone had to know in advance and schedule this.

Restaurant where anti-Kavanaugh protesters disrupted Ted Cruz's dinner hires security

The upscale Italian restaurant Fiola has hired security guards after protesters confronted Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and his wife, Heidi, as they prepared to dine there.

"We are trying to run a restaurant that was besieged this week with the sort of vitriol that is the story of divided politics in America now," the owners of Fiola, located in downtown Washington, D.C., said in an email to customers.

The owners said staff would be re-trained on how to deal with similar instances and went on to implore customers to keep dining there. They described the current situation as a "PR disaster."

"We promise that Fiola is better than ever, and with your support we will emerge from this challenge quickly," they wrote.

Despite the efforts of Fiola Mare staff, Cruz supporters flooded to the website Yelp to write negative restaurant reviews.


The restaurant's chef and owner, Fabio Trabocchi, issued a statement earlier this week saying that his family had faced harassment and "life-threatening messages" after the incident. While he did not state which side of the aisle the messages came from, he stressed that "all voices are welcome" at Fiola.

I wonder how many point Cruz would gain if he waded into the zombies with a barrage of hay makers

Also I do not believe politicians should have, with the exception being those in the leadership, .gov paid for security. They are paid representatives of the people and there should be always be easy access.

Although I agree, I also believe that an establishment owner/manager has the right to expel agitators from the premises. When they show up, immediately call the police and charge them with trespassing. Only patrons should be there.

I'm sure the owner/manager envisions his establishment possibly going the way of the Red Chicken (or whatever that idiot place is/was) and is having his own "holy shit" moment. If the owner/manager let this go on farther than more than 3 seconds after the initial cacophony, then all he has to do is look in the mirror.

Proud of Ted, just like Sarah, for just getting up calmly and walking out. I have to say, though, I'd love to see these asswipes get face-planted on the curb teeth first...repeatedly.
