    Senator Ted Cruz Bullied Out of D.C. Restaurant by Protestors

    Protestors forced Sen. Ted Cruz out of a Washington restaurant Monday, questioning the senator on his vote for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

    Kavanaugh has been accused of sexual misconduct. One woman, Christine Blasey Ford, says he assaulted her in the 1980s when she and Kavanaugh were in high school. Another woman, Deborah Ramirez, says Kavanaugh exposed himself to her at a party during their freshman year at Yale.

    Cruz had said earlier this year that he supported the nominee, saying that Kavanaugh "is one of the most respected federal judges in the country, and I look forward to supporting his nomination to the Supreme Court of the United States."

    Criticism of that support came Monday night when Cruz and his wife, Heidi, were walking to their table at Fiola, an Italian restaurant.

    "There are now three people who have come forward and who have said that Brett Kavanaugh has attacked them," a woman told the senator. "I know that you're close friends with him. Did you talk to him about that? Did you talk to him about his position?"

    Cruz was also told: "Senator, I have a right to know what your position is on Brett Kavanaugh."

    Cruz responded, "God bless you, ma'am."

    Protestors then gathered around the senator's table, chanting, "We believe survivors," until Cruz and his wife left. According to reports, the protestors cheered as Cruz left. Restaurant employees then asked the protestors to leave.

    The group, Smash Racism DC, posted a video of the incident to Twitter.

    "While our interruption does not compare in scale to the interruptions his actions as a Senator have had on millions of American lives, we hope that it reminds Cruz and others like him that they are not safe from the people they have hurt," the group said on Twitter.

    Cruz is a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Thursday, the committee will hear testimony from one of the women, Ford, and from Kavanaugh himself.

    Why didn't you ask them to leave while they were doing it?

    Time for a new law forbidding discrimination and harassment based on someone's political views.

    Seriously. That's effectively what is happening. Conservatives need to start doing the same thing with liberals and see how they like it and watch the hypocritical left and media scream over it.

    Yep...I was totally serious, they even assault people because of their political beliefs. Just wearing a MAGA hat makes some libs lose it.

    There are laws that address that, in particular laws against threats, harassment and violence. What we are witnessing is lawlessness.

    Our nation was hijacked some time ago by Babylonians (leftists, globalists). They own it from top to bottom, if you think they are going to prosecute themselves...well.. I do have a bridge for sale that you might be interested in.

    That being said, we are nearing the end of their run and when the ship turns most won't believe the level of evil that they have perpetrated.

    Agreed: No discrimination with respect to employment and access to public accommodations based on political views.
    This should be the law.

    Libertarians would object on the grounds that such a law would violate the right of free association.

    But I would be happy to see such a law enacted. If we, as a nation, wish to truly respect diversity,
    we must be willing to tolerate, work with, and associate with people whose views are different from
    ours.
