'Activists' who showed up at home of GOP Sen. Thom Tillis are upset that he completely ignored them and drove away

Self-described “activists” showed up at the home of Republican Sen. Thom Tillis and they were upset that he didn’t dignify their actions by stopping for a chat. They claim he fled:

BREAKING: Youth voters are outside @SenThomTillis house demanding he delay a vote on #SCOTUS nomination until 2021 following his statement Sat morning. He wouldn’t even look us in the eye; here’s him fleeing his own house after he sent a dozen cop cars. #ncpol @sunrisemvmt pic.twitter.com/LZ6SobfaH6

Showing up at private residences ramps up the creepiness a couple notches, and Mitch McConnell knows all about that.

"activists" lol

“Youth voters” was a nice touch as well.

how dare he not stop to chat amiably with *checks notes* a mob of sign-wielding protestors who have shown up to harass him at his home https://t.co/MaXdLQu3nn

“Why didn’t he stop so we could berate him in front of his own house” is a question that answers itself.

"Fleeing his house…" https://t.co/ucQLoabnMO

I get that it looks confusing, but sometimes people do what is called "go to work". It isn't typically referred to as "fleeing their house". Hope this helped.

Yep: “Fleeing his house” = “leaving for work.”

At least turn the sprinklers all the way up.

Yeah, I don’t understand why he wouldn’t stop and talk to a mob that inappropriately showed up at his home. Grow up! https://t.co/Lj1jg9GTDF

Let’s ask these protestors where they live and how they’d react if an angry mob was standing outside their house.

I swear these folks want trump to win.

Because that’s what they’re doing, whether they know it or not.
