Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Thursday denounced protesters who have rallied outside his home and office in Kentucky the past few days.

“I have a word for everybody who’s been in the front yard, and everybody who’s trying to get in my space, I will not be intimidated by you people, not a chance,” McConnell said during an interview with Kentucky radio station WHAS. “Not a single thing you do is going to alter how I operate on behalf of my constituents and the country for whom I have a significant amount of responsibility.”
