Anti-Kavanaugh Mob Chases Ted Cruz and Wife Out of Restaurant
Sen. Ted Cruz was forced to leave a Washington restaurant Monday after left-wing activists swarmed the senator, heckling him with chants and demanding to know his position on embattled Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
In two videos posted to Twitter, a small group of activists can be seen confronting the Texas Republican and his wife, Heidi, as the couple makes their way to a table at Fiola, an Italian restaurant near the Capitol building.
The videos have garnered more than 1.2 million views since they were posted late Monday.
I guess we have to watch it now:
BREAKING. Activists just chased @TedCruz out of a fancy Washington DC restaurant, chanting “We Believe Survivors!”
Cruz has been friends with creep Kavanaugh for 20 years. Now Cruz is on judiciary committee hearing his testimony.

I don’t understand why Cruz allowed himself to be chased off. It’s tough to know what you would actually do in that situation, but I’d like to think I’d stay put and wait for the restaurant to eject the trespassers.
Mobs can’t be allowed to win. You give in here, and it has consequences down the road.
It’s possible the restaurant wasn’t going to intervene. Too bad they don’t have Whataburger in DC.
