"You leave my husband alone!"

Elaine Chao is tough:



She looks so good here that I had to wonder whether the whole thing was staged. But WaPo tells it like this:
Protesters confronted Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Monday over migrant family separations at the U.S.-Mexico border, a sign that outrage over the Trump administration’s hard-line immigration policy is not abating.

Chao and McConnell, who are married, were about to climb into a black SUV when they were approached by a small group of young men at Georgetown University. One started repeating, “Why are you separating families?”

A short confrontation ensued. “Why you don’t leave my husband alone? Why you don’t leave my husband alone?” Chao responded as McConnell got into the SUV.
Chao and McConnell are leaving an event. This would be worse if they were confronted at their home. The men probably see themselves as behaving in a mild manner, but thronging around a woman — a 5'3", 65-year-old woman — looks terrible, and Chao got a huge advantage out of this, because she looks courageous, poised,  and nervy.

You want more Trump? This is how you get more Trump.

Ok. I watched it again. Still nothing. There were two guards there.

The creeps, especially young male creeps at a usedtobe Catholic University, are doing us all a favor.

Eventually, one of these mental retards will kill or badly hurt someone, like Hodgkinson, Where are the emails between him and Durbin, by the way?

The worse thing I saw were white males bullying a minority but I guess that doesn't matter since they are leftist and she's a conservative.

Probably not a good optic for the Dems. Especially now with anti-asian affirmative action rearing it's head.

Ohhhhh how outrageous!

Come on, Inga, you would have shit bricks if someone did the same thing to, say, Valerie Jarrett.

Demcrats have always been assholes. They’re just getting more brazen about it. This is going to keep escalating until someone gets hurt or killed.

Optics. She looked prepared and strong, she wasn't going to take any crap. Good for her.

Ken B said...

The Dems better hope I am not as typical as I think I am. I lean GOP, am a Trump skeptic, did not support him last time. But I see he is doing better than I expected mostly, except on trade. But I have been so repulsed by “the resistance “ and now the escalation in bullying that I am hoping for a red wave. Right now I think the Democrats need a thrashing, and a bad one.

Pretty shameful that these young men should act like this. It is too much to hope that their schools might have a word with them.

I live in SWF and showed my wife the whole story on our state AG getting spit on in a theater.

I told her that, fair warning, I would go postal under those circumstances. She nodded because she already knew that.

Mitch McConnell did not grow up in tough situations. I bet he's never hit some one to hurt them. Or ever.

This is not going to end well.

I saw an ugly display of toxic masculinity and white privilege in that video. Inga should be outraged by it but she somehow tries to swat it away.

Bay Area Guy said...

These moronic mobs are quite irritating. It'd be nice if leftist idiots learned how to present an issue or argument orally or in writing. Instead, they just show up and chant.

Nobody would hire these fools for a job.

hawkeyedjb said...

@KenB - similar thoughts here, though I live in AZ and tend to vote Dem, at least at the state/local level, to avoid one party dominance. But anyone who gives any hint of going along with this "Resistance" bullshit won't get my vote. I'll be a Trump supporter, and vote for Trump supporters. This violent, vicious, mindless garbage, if aimed at the uncommitted, is counter productive.

And if someone abuses my wife, I'll die in prison but I'll outlive the asshole(s) who threaten her.

n.n said...

...a sign that outrage over the Trump administration’s hard-line immigration policy is not abating.

They prefer the Pro-Choice approach, selective, opportunistic, congruent action, separated and caged, and the UN-approved refugee crises, to suit political moods.

mockturtle said...

And we know that none of them give a fat rat's ass about separated families. This is just the outrage du jour.

Inga...Allie Oop said...

Why should I care? You folks don’t care, you wouldn’t care if it were a Democratic woman, you don’t care when Trump himself threatens Maxine Waters, you cheer it. You didn’t care when Trump said Clinton’s Secret Service protection should have their guns taken away. The hypocrisy and double standard won’t be tolerated anymore.

What is happening is Civilty Bullshit on a national level.

Eric said...

"[T]hronging around a woman — a 5'3", 65-year-old woman — looks terrible" for them because she is obviously so much tougher than them. And note the follow-up from the woman shooing them off.

Recordings of children crying, really? I thought that class of evidence was off limits.

That said, reunite the children with their parents, note the predators who identify as "parents", and expose the first-world "shitshows" that are exploiting symptoms and hiding the causes of catastrophic anthropogenic immigration reform a.k.a. refugee crises.

Big Mike said...

Chao got a huge advantage out of this, because she looks courageous, posed [sic], and nervy.

@Althouse, I believe you meant "poised." But it's really simple for Chao, because I understand that she really is courageous, poised, and nervy.

Political, social, and economic leverage... and a progressive cover-up, endorsed by no less than the United Nations, "human rights" organizations, and secular religious organizations. Pro-Choice again, and again, and again.

That's right. Chao was targeted for rape (verbal assault?), not rape-rape, by the braying mob because of her Asian privilege. The narrative takes a turn to the twilight fringe.

Guildofcannonballs said...

I saw a vif fro. LaCrosse WI with Chao trying to answer a passionate question and all I know 100% for sure is Chao and Mitch belong together.

They hate anything unscripted more than Raylen hated, like our boy Johnny Depp, Kentucky folk.

Wrong.

”you don’t care when Trump himself threatens Maxine Waters, you cheer it.”

Wrong.

“You didn’t care when Trump said Clinton’s Secret Service protection should have their guns taken away.”

I don’t know what this is, but I’m guessing it’s about gun control hypocrisy.

”The hypocrisy and double standard won’t be tolerated anymore.”

Keep it up, all the way to election day. It will backfire badly.

Trump must not be assassinated! He's not a Hitler st least not yet. Taking him out would make the deranged president a martyr. The more he talks and acts crazy, the more he damages the GOP. If Trump literally destroys the world with nukes, we won't be here to say, "I told you so."

A mild confrontation. I am OK with a little nonviolent free expression at or around public events.

But of course, the left wants to destroy the opposition and take complete control of public spaces, as Althouse witnessed in Madison.

Chao did well, but we have to be prepared for worse.

Good point, n.n. The laws are pretty explicit that you may only use lethal force if you legitimately believe yourself or someone else to be threatened with grave bodily harm or death. If the brave Democrats turn and run, you may not shoot them in the back. Nor in the ass, however much pleasure the thought of shooting a Democrat thug in the ass might give you.

Shouting Thomas said...

Inga cannot be a single individual.

She must be a front for a group of paid Democratic agents, most likely sitting in an office in D.C.

I wonder how many of the most prominent commenters here are paid partisans.

Inga’s script is always at the ready, isn’t it?

WWIII Joe Biden, Husk-Puppet + America's Putin said...

Maxine is out in full denial hide behind the children mode.

She's an asshole.

Shouting Thomas said...

The DNC has already formulated the response that Inga is parroting and I’ve already seen it in various places.

We’ve returned to the campaign when Hillary’s goon squads were attacking Trump supporters as they attempted to attend rallies in various cities. Remember? And, the DNC media, like The NY Times, collaborated to pretend that Trump’s response to these goon squads attacks were actually cause of the attacks.

Inga is well prepared.

WWIII Joe Biden, Husk-Puppet + America's Putin said...

The press is crap. Might as well point it out. Hacks.

Shouting Thomas said...

So, Inga, who are you and who pays you to keep up the constant presence here?

Milo Yiannopoulos:

“I can’t wait for the vigilante squads to start gunning journalists down on sight.”

Putin, a KGB killer, has ordered the execution of journalists by various methods including poisoning with a radioactive substance. Homosexuals have been targeted for death, as well.

You are known by the company you keep. Trump is guilty of aiding and abetting murderous thug dictators around the world especially if it benefits him monetarily or politically. He has no compunction about being in bed with killers, liars, and thieves.

Inga...Allie Oop said...

“She must be a front for a group of paid Democratic agents, most likely sitting in an office in D.C.”

We call our boss “Daddy Soros”. We are a multitude.

You’re a paid agent of the DNC.

You got the memo. You’re argument is appearing simultaneously all over the internet.

Shouting Thomas said...

You’re a fake and an agent provocateur, Inga.

WWIII Joe Biden, Husk-Puppet + America's Putin said...

Inga, like a good parrot, ignores Maxine's calls for the mob to hunt down Trump supporters and staffers. Runs and hides behind the children.

Inga...Allie Oop said...

“You got the memo. You’re argument is appearing simultaneously all over the internet.”

We are ubiquitous.

Inga...Allie Oop said...

“You’re a fake and an agent provocateur, Inga.”

A sexy one too.

Shouting Thomas said...

Yes, it is true that you are ubiquitous.

Paid to be.

Who pays you? How many people does it take to keep this site manned 24 hours a day?

Shouting Thomas said...

Yes, you’re as sexy as Hillary.

And as fake and stupid, too.

Inga...Allie Oop said...

“Who pays you?”

I told you already, sheesh. Daddy Soros.

WWIII Joe Biden, Husk-Puppet + America's Putin said...

As sexy as Hillary - indeed.

Inga...Allie Oop said...

LOL! That was fun. You’re a hoot Shouting Thomas.

Shouting Thomas said...

So, I’m onto the strategy, kid.

As I said, we’ve returned to those wonderful days when your goon squads were beating, egging, throwing bottles and rocks at Trump supporters as they tried to enter arenas.

Remember how successful you were back then? The pretense that Trump actually was responsible for initiating those attacks on his own followers seemed like a great success, didn’t it?

And, then, you lost.

Trumpit said...

[“Who pays you?”

I told you already, sheesh. Daddy Soros.]

How can I get on the payroll, too, before Soros, who is almost 90, croaks?

Shouting Thomas said...

Remember, Inga?

Our host here, Althouse, caught on to your ruse.

You were exposed.

Shouting Thomas said...

You and your clones seem convinced that your strategies are brilliant.

You’re losing. Trump is going to flatten you over the next six years.

You’re out of your league.

Remind me, what was the ruse?

Shouting Thomas said...

The ruse was pretending that Trump and his followers were the initiators of Hillary’s goon squad attacks.

Inga...Allie Oop said...

“Why are you employing the same strategy all over again?”

I have a strategy?

Matt Sablan said...

"Yesterday, Trump again called the Press the “enemy of the people”. Milo must’ve heard him."

-- Trump isn't the president that jailed members of the press without cause or used the government to destroy their research or jailed a movie maker. Anyone who thinks Trump's words are scary, but did not vigorously oppose Obama's trampling of press freedoms is -- just like the people who suddenly care about migrant children -- posing.

Shouting Thomas said...

You know, you tried to build up a case, with the help of your media allies, that...

Well, hell, it made no sense at all.

Althouse wrote about this at some length, the way the goon squad attacks were phrased to make it seem that the violence was initiated by Trump.

You’re using a refrain of those events, and Trump’s response to it, to once again pretend that the violence was initiated by Trump and his followers.

Shouting Thomas said...

Yes, your strategy is and was to attempt to portray your goon squad attacks on Trump supporters as violence they committed.

Your media was quite cooperative.

Jon Ericson said...

The faker troll:

A clever troll, the main aim of the game is to, ironically, act really REALLY stupid. This troll's aim is to argue with normal persons incoherently.

This is a ploy. The troll only needs to spend 10 seconds shitposting while the normal person wastes 10 minutes writing a much more wordy reply.

The troll will reply with a stupid rejoinder making the normal person post as many long replies as possible.

Using the normal person's aversion to bullshit against them and wasting their time...

If they are good, their act will be believable and they probably won't get banned unless the blog hostess figures out what they are doing.

Shouting Thomas said...

You’re repeating the ruse again, tonight. Evidently, you were passed the script.

The Democrat men can beat the hell out of Republican women. They're not just bullies of Republican women, they can beat the hell out of them and because of Trump they might just do it too.

Drago said...

Give Inga a break.

The DNC's entire strategy for the midterms, which has never really jelled, is collapsing.

Trump's base voters are solidifying in numbers never before seen and there are reports that over 60% of the attendees at Trump's Minnesota rally were democrats or independents!

Yikes!

On top of that, the economic numbers are solid and if anyone reads Bloomberg on the business side there was a fantastic article describing in detail how the Chinese are realizing they are screwed in their negotiations with Trump and his team and the article explains why that is.

The German automakers have already caved on tariffs (they have no choice as we have all the leverage) and now Canada is threatening tariffs on lowcost imports because.....(wait for it).....Trump is shutting down the NAFTA loopholes that let Canada and Mexico act as gateways for foreign products!

One of the items Canada is threatening tariffs on to slow down imports........Steel.

That's right. Canada is going to have to crank up tariffs on steel because all those foreign products, if they can't be shipped to the US (and they won't be under Trump) will simply sit in Canada and destroy Canada's domestic production!

Welcome to The Art of The Deal Justin. I hope you are capable of learning at a faster clip then the lefties in the US, otherwise....you are screwed.

Where are the hardhats of yesteryear?

William said...

I briefly watched a few talking heads on MSNBC commenting on this video. They said that this looked like an ineffective way of protesting, although they were sure that Trump and his policies were enough to drive anyone over the edge. That's as far they'd go in their criticism--"ineffective"..........My takeaway was that the young men looked like jerks and that if you can't perceive that these young men are jerks, then you're a jerk yourself........I wouldn't want to be a minority in a country that was governed by people as vitriolic in their resentment and anger as Maxine Waters. Perhaps instead of contemplating the statues of Confederates, she looked to those living men in Rwanda, Kenya, Liberia et al. and wonder what combination of anger and resentment led them to engineer such horrendous massacres and whether she shares those qualities.

Ann Althouse said...

“@Althouse, I believe you meant "poised." But it's really simple for Chao, because I understand that she really is courageous, poised, and nervy.”

Oops. Thanks. Fixed.

The Vault Dweller said...

The video looks mildly to moderately bad. The worst thing the boys did was get too close. The one kid at the end who tried to sound righteously outraged at the end as he raised his voice should probably just cut that bit from his repertoire unless he can work on it. It sounded far too forced.

Inga...Allie Oop said...

“She turned into a mass of quivering gel when someone posted her full name here (not cool)...”

You fucking moron, I was upset because it was my daughter whose full name, profession and employer’s name was posted here. If you had a daughter you might feel the same way.

The Vault Dweller said...

There is something surreal about being questioned by a 20-year old kid about how one sleeps at night. Would a 20-year old kid at Georgetown have even lived long enough and done enough to understand being unable to sleep at night because one is ruminating over a possibly terrible deed that person has done? Hemingway was right. You should only write about what you know. And if you want to weigh in on what you claim is a profound moral injustice in life, you should probably have lived some sort of meaningful life before hand. Taking a probably very carefully charted path from childhood to primary schooling, to High school, to college doesn't really qualify you to weigh in on much.

Next up pepper spray. oops, I slipped on your greasy floor, sorry I can’t stay to chat, I need to wash off your STD laden spit. Good, here's the MedTech with their foot-long nasal swabs for all of us. Last time I went thru this, Anthrax attack, the tech said I haven't gotten a good swab until I've made you cry. I’ve heard deplorables rumblings about a general strike to sober people up. Will be fun to watch T's newly employed Latino friends now that they’ve escaped the plantation and don’t have to compete with immigrants who cheated. Will stop hauling food into the cities and doing all those things we've forgotten how to do ourselves, Laundry and making beds. Back up an 18-Wheeler into a dock. Load air freight. Partition food for presentation and sale and run a register. They still have religious communities that support each other thru good and bad times without relying on FEMA. So, they and the Mormons will do ok, while I in my elite swamp starve. Not that I shouldn't lose some weight. So, it’s time to settle this. Battle lines are being drawn. We must do this for the children™. There’s nothing as fearsome as someone who doesn’t care much if at all. Like T, a fatalist. Free to do the right thing, irrespective of the swamp and those with the IYI divine right to rule over us commoners. So, if you’re a believer See you on the other side.

Of course not. They're "evil" - what happens to their kids doesn't matter to Inga.

If Howard is a liberal, then Langford Peel is a liberal. When did liberals become social Darwinists regrettably noting that large segments of the population must be left behind?

tim in vermont said...

The purpose of a stupid troll, well, maybe not the purpose, but the effect of one, is to cause other posters to become more firm in their defense of their positions. They are like an inoculation with a weakened virus. People spend a lot of time reformulating their positions in clearer terms to respond to an entity that just doesn't care, but they still clarify their thinking in order to respond. The second part of it is that the troll never, ever makes a cogent argument in response.

Idiot trolling the same effect as this "Don't let them live a normal life!" Democrats create. Who, in their right mind, would give these people even more power over our lives?

The only possible organizations that come to mind who would actually profit from paying some of our trolls here are the RNC or the Trump campaign.

This current left wing craziness all smells of being organized. Let's find out who is behind it.

You see it here, you see it everywhere. The liberal line.

Unless someone ends up in the hospital or the morgue, what are you complaining about?

Let's see our elected officials take a stand against this. There are threats of bombings. Why is your congressman and senators standing mute?

Hah!

Part of the reason Chao is so defensive of her husband is that he suffered from polio in his childhood and isn't very strong physically.

Mitch McConnell is an old 76 or 77 year man, he seems to have aged a lot the last few years. My oldest brother is a little older than McConnell but he seems to be a much more healthy and vigorous 77 year old man.

In this twitter thread, one of the very-proud-of-himself cretins moans that everything was fine until "SHE lost her cool."

How dare she?

They're real warriors, these college nitwits. Tough dudes, messing with Chao and McConnell.

This will not end well for their ilk. And they're too stupid to have a clue.

Chao is feminine female strong. The masculine male respects that.

Wait till the Dems lose in Nov., I predict the Dems will get crazy big time with some serious riots.


Yes, I think they have gone too far to learn from an election loss.

They are now in Germany 1932 territory.

I know nice people who are left politically. A couple of my kids. What they have done is to shut off any interest in politics and start preparing from a dystopic future. That's why some of these books a TV shows and movies are popular. "Hunger Games."

The nuts like Inga and trumpit seem to be following scripts. I don't doubt they are getting marching orders disguised as "The latest news about those damned Republicans!" I doubt anyone would pay for that nonsense.

They aren't very successful propagandists because they are so obviously dull normal.

We Republicans say "keep it up!"

I hope the RNC has efficient note-takers since for the next few elections the commercials write themselves as in

"Democrats don't want open borders. They want no borders."

Browndog said...

Everyone talks about how small Chao is-

It seems no one noticed the size of the 'tip of the spear" security babe.

The senator's full name is Addison Mitchell “Mitch” McConnell Jr., why is the tag "Michael McConnell"?

Yes. And they'd better!

Why should I care?


Nobody expected you to. You've just been posing as someone who did so recognizing you've been playing a role all this time is notable.

"Hillary never leaves. Neither does Inga."

Both are morbidly obese old cunts who won't live more than another 8 years or so. They will leave, and become food for tons and tons of worms.

Big Mike said...

What Liz Shield had to say about this episode:

"One more thing I would like to point out: many of these confrontational attacks are against women: Kristjen Nielson, Elaine Chao, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Betsy DeVos, Pam Bondi. What do we make of this? When will we see these brave resistors get in Maddog Mattis' face?"

I think I know the answer to the question Liz posed.

Kirk Parker said...

Big Mike,

GMAB. If I wanted to spend time cleaning guns, I would have bought a black powder pistol!

gerry said...

Come on, Inga, you would have shit bricks if someone did the same thing to, say, Valerie Jarrett.

She always shits bricks. That's why, or so I've heard, she walks so awkwardly.

Martin said...

Another 20,000 votes for Trump in 2020, and maybe half that for various GOPs in 2018.

Keep it up, bros.

Every time Trump says or tweets something outrageous, after I groan I remember that the alternative is far worse because if in office they will have the power to do the things (like, destroy the First Amendment) that he only intimates or trolls about. And this just confirms that they have the will.

"I have a strategy?"

No, Dear. Your handler has a strategy. You have a tactic.

What's with the goons all wearing backpacks? Did these goons just come from class? From goon class?

BJM said...

"She looks so good here that I had to wonder whether the whole thing was staged. "

That's pretty cynical Althouse, but I'll take it one step further. The Left knows hounding these women is bad optics. It makes no sense, is a strategy being deployed?

Nothing is ever as it appears to be prior to an election, especially with such high stakes for the Left.

Is whomever funding and directing this operation deliberately creating situations where someone carrying will panic and escalate a violent or fatal incident?

From what I've heard about Elaine Chao, she's tougher than Mattis and Kelly put together.

@exiledonmainstreet - refresh my memory - was it long ago? Who did the doxxing? I have wondered if Inga is a real person."

It was around the time of the Walker recall election. Inga was very afraid that hordes of mouth-breathing Walker voters would show up at her front door.

Of course, the people on this blog who were actually threatened were -Althouse and Meade.

Jason said...

Liberal progtards are constantly projecting their own instincts for thuggish goonery on normal people.

Now I would pay to see that.

Inga...Allie Oop said...

Exiled onmainstreet,

I was doxxed, yes. I’m quite sure you wouldn’t like someone knowing your real full name either...would you? Then later my daughter was also doxxed here. So maybe you should shut your hateful ugly mouth. The reason I don’t care about your outrages is that you gleefully assault people you see as your political enemies without any thought about if. Civility and decency on one side only goes only so far, then the other side retaliates.

Speaking of retaliation, the guy who doxxed my daughter, I found out who he was...

Inga...Allie Oop said...

“It was around the time of the Walker recall election. Inga was very afraid that hordes of mouth-breathing Walker voters would show up at her front door.”

Whaaaaat? You really are quite the liar aren’t you? I lived in Waukesha county among many Walker voters, so yes they did come to my door for coffee, for dinner, for a romp in the hay. I, unlike you actually have friends from both sides of the political spectrum and inbetween.

Inga...Allie Oop said...

No, Dear. Your handler has a strategy. You have a tactic.”

Who is my handler?

Rick said...

Exiled, who did you assault? Is this like speech is violence when it hurts feelings? I remember the good old days when libs claimed good education included some hurt feelings.

Civility and decency on one side only goes only so far,

It's great when the side engaging in violence for a decades pretends they were civil and decent until last week. Laughing at the nutters is surely a prime benefit of reading Althouse.

Inga...Allie Oop said...

“It's great when the side engaging in violence for a decades pretends they were civil and decent until last week.”

Indeed. That would be you folks. That’s why we are seeing civility bullshit on a national level. Your partisan eyes are covered by your grubby hands.

“Laughing at the nutters is surely a prime benefit of reading Althouse.”

Indeed again. That would include you, a little pussy of a man.

mezzrow said...

Remember when the BLM folks were calling out white privilege at brunch in 2014/15? This activity fills a deep need for the SJW seeking direct engagement with the enemy.

And now we're here and Donald Trump has been POTUS for over a year. Did you notice the Atlanta Fed posted 4.5% growth for their quarterly forecast? Don't tell Bill Maher.

Rick said...

Indeed. That would be you folks.

Meanwhile back to reality.

So many of you pose as something different but it's an act. Underneath you're all the same.

tim in vermont said...

All you have to do is define policy differences as violence, not hard to do, and the standard of proof is not very high.
