KEN CUCCINELLI FORCED TO LEAVE THANKSGIVING EVE BASH AFTER MARTIN O'MALLEY PUBLICLY SHAMES HIM FOR PUTTING 'IMMIGRANT KIDS IN CAGES'

BY CHANTAL DA SILVA ON 11/28/19 AT 4:26 AM EST

Ken Cuccinelli, the acting deputy secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, was reportedly forced to retreat from a Thanksgiving Eve bash on Wednesday after former Maryland governor Martin O'Malley tore into him over his role in enforcing the Trump administration's hardline immigration policies.

According to one witness, Siobhan Houton Arnold, who tweeted about the incident, O'Malley "drove" Cuccinelli out of the Dubliner, a Capitol Hill pub meant to be popular among Gonzaga High School graduates, a school both men had attended, graduating five years apart in the 1980s, according to The Washington Post.

"Martin O'Malley just drove Ken Cuccinelli out of the Dubliner in DC w/ a passion-laced and shame-invoking tirade on behalf of immigrant refugee children!!!" Arnold said in her tweet.

Speaking to the Post after the event unfolded, Arnold said O'Malley had been "shouting" at Cuccinelli, who, she said, only responded that it was "time to go" before taking leave of the festivities.

Once trump leaves office they will all declare they were just following orders at the 21st century "Nuremberg Trials."

All of those who work for ICE and the Border Patrol get paid and as such their names and more should be made available so we can remember they just followed orders.

I know those are supposed to be confidential, but...

it'd be a real shame if they were hacked and made public...sorta like the way trump thinks?

Of course, I'm not advocating that...just that it'd be a shame if it happened and we all would learn how many of our neighbors and/or friends had no qualms about treating children this way for money.

Just sayin'

Can't wait to see the Right go ballistic over this the way they did when Sarah Huckster Sanders was run out of a restaurant.

The restaurant owner quietly and privately asked if Sanders would leave the restaurant and she agreed to leave. Subsequently, she, her father, and Trump lied about every aspect of the incident to provoke maximum outrage and retaliation from their followers. All in the name of ‘civility’

.. border; Kurdish children in Syria or it seems children in America that are not their own. Read in another DUpost that his parents are Italian immigrants..so one would think he would be more compassionate, empathetic towards the plight of refugees and/or immigrants who come seeking same as his parents and others-- a better life.

No child should be harmed! At minimum children at border should be kept with their parents; Kurdish children and their families in Syria a time to flee, seek asylum in surrounding countries--that would have been the decent, humane way yet, in both cases we have done badly; sadly this is under our watch--Kamala Harris: ‘We Can Judge a Society, I Think Always, By The Way It Treats Its Children.’

This is the guy that we need now more than ever. Read his bio. Democrats have been too busy with the high profile candidates but this is the guy that can bring everyone together. Came close in 2008. Would have been a great vp pick by Obama but Obama wasn’t looking past his own presidency. It’s not too late. O’Malley 2020.
