DHS Secretary Nielsen just got driven out of a Mexican restaurant here on 14th Street by activists.

VIDEO:







VIDEOS FROM INSIDE RESTAURANT HERE:












UPDATE:

This tweet comes minutes after Nielsen was just run out of a Mexican restaurant in DC by protesters shouting "shame!" and "if kids don't eat in peace, you don't eat in peace!"

@realDonaldTrump
Homeland Security @SecNielsen did a fabulous job yesterday at the press conference explaining security at the border and for our country, while at the same time recommending changes to obsolete & nasty laws, which force family separation. We want “heart” and security in America!

Should have used it more. And I'd love to see it being used as the go to catch phrase for other activists shaming Trump minions in other eating establishments.


On an alternate note, I think sometimes, in the passion of the moment, some go overboard, or don't think ahead of how what they say can be used against them. I'm talking about the much more used chant of..."No Borders, No walls, Sanctuary for all!" Yes its catchy and easy to repeat, but that clip could be used by Hannity or Rush or any other of their sycophants to cherry-clip that out and expand it into a 20 minute diatribe on how lib'ruls want everyone, MS-13 members, rapists, other criminals to just have instant sanctuary with not only no due process to check their backgrounds, but in fact have no border controls at all. In essence, give up America's sovereignty as a separate nation. Yeah....that's going to go over well.

it's expensive and trendy and downtown far away from where any Latinos would live or eat.

It's delicious sure, I would love to go there. But it's from celebrity chef Todd English who has a TV cooking show.

So of course she'd go there for a nice Mexican dinner thinking she won't encounter any immigrants. Immigrants are everywhere. Every meal is brought to us by immigrants.
