Kirstjen Nielsen: “If kids don’t eat in peace, you don’t eat in peace” 💖 💝
The group chanted "Shame! Shame! Shame!" and "Abolish ICE" INSIDE the restaurant.
Nielsen couldn’t handle the zero tolerance chants so she scurried away.
Nielsen was eating at the MXDC Cocina Mexicana Restaurant in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, CNN reported, when she was heckled by protesters, who booed her and shouted “Abolish ICE” and chanted “shame” as she attempted to eat.
Indeed, the group protesting her presence at the restaurant, the Democratic Socialists of America, suggested the politician “should never be allowed to eat and drink in public again” as punishment for the border policy that has caused a furore in recent weeks, Mediaite reported.
“We will not stand by and let Secretary Nielsen dine in peace, while she is directing her employees to tear little girls away from their mothers and crying boys away from their fathers at our border,” the DSA said in a statement shared on their Facebook page following the incident.
"These barbarous acts must end and those at the helm must be held accountable. While Secretary Nielsen's dinner may have been ruined, it is nothing compared to the horrors she has inflicted on innocent families"
