Flashback: Nancy Pelosi praised unionists storming Wisconsin State Capitol

[archives]

I don't recall "attempting to show events in 2011 are comparable to the recent invasion of the US Capitol", Anchovies.

Aren't you going to squirt some crocodile tears about the leftist violence that's happened more than one in Madison?

Didn't think so.

Poor Anchovies.

Well, that is exactly what you did there pal.

Your man "vols" used his article from Fox to prove Pelosi was supposedly a "hypocrite" for supporting the 2011 protests yet opposing the Capitol invasion, and when he was easily proven wrong, you jumped in showing us pictures from 2020 attempting to validate his malarkey. And you got snagged

Having trouble processing are we

This thread is your buddy Volsrocks' attempt to conflate the 2011 capitol protest by WI workers with the 2021 capitol siege that resulted in a murdered cop.

If you want to start a thread whining about last summer's protests, by all means, do so. This ain't it, Lesion.

Too much in a hurry to get in what he thought was a gotcha moment to note the date on his source

Well, that is exactly what you did there pal.

So you say, Anchovies, with zero evidence.

Poor Anchovies.

Maybe you two can meet up for some "union".

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has gone on record praising the storming of the Capitol as an "impressive show of democracy in action" -- the 2011 invasion of the Madison, Wis., state capitol, that is.



Ten years earlier, unionists stormed the Wisconsin State Capitol in an attempt to block a vote on collective bargaining reform. Thousands of demonstrators managed to enter the building by violently breaking down doors and shattering windows -- but the attack garnered much praise from Pelosi and other prominent Democrats at the time.

The House Speaker took to Twitter to express her "solidarity" with the activists as they attacked the Capitol, and sent senators into hiding until police managed to remove them from the building

Funny how short of a memory folks have.

LOL. Nice effort by Fox News. Very nice.

The Kenosha protests didn't happen in 2011, you fucking idiot. That's what this thread is about.

Think so?

Who told you that you get to determine what a thread is about?

Nasty Nancy's silence is violence.

I’m impressed, I’ve always loved Jack London.

they did not break in, liar. fox lies and you believe it. what a chump you are. it was a public hearing on asshole republican Wisconsin Governor Snotty Walker plans to take collective bargaining away from union workers hired by the state, and ending their pension benefits.......and these workers peacefully entered the capitol and protested peacefully this bullshit anti-union plan.

here is the truth- lying ass-

Thousands protest anti-union bill in Wisconsin
February 17, 2011 12:01 a.m.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Thousands of teachers, prison guards and students descended on the Wisconsin Capitol for a second day Wednesday to fight a move to take union rights away from government workers in the state that first granted them more than a half-century ago.

The Statehouse filled with as many as 10,000 demonstrators who chanted, sang the national anthem and beat drums for hours. The noise level in the Rotunda rose to the level of a chainsaw, and many Madison teachers joined the protest by calling in sick in such numbers that the district had to cancel classes.

The new Republican governor, Scott Walker, is seeking passage of the nation's most aggressive anti-union proposal, which was moving swiftly through the GOP-led Legislature.

Walker said he appreciated the concerns of protesters, but taxpayers "need to be heard as well." He said he would not do anything to "fundamentally undermine the principles" of the bill.

"I'm fighting for my home and my career," said Virginia Welle, a 30-year-old teacher at Chippewa Falls High School. She said she and her husband, who is also a teacher, each stand to lose $5,000 a year in higher pension and health care contributions.

Welle said she could never get that money back since the unions would be unable to bargain over benefits under Walker's plan.

The protests have been larger and more sustained than any in Madison in decades. Dozens of protesters spent the night in sleeping bags on the floor of the Rotunda.

Says who?

You?

Choke on this: "Police found 41 rounds of 22-caliber rifle ammunition outside the Wisconsin state Capitol. Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the locked entrance to the Capitol, chanting "Break down the door!" and "General strike!" The crowds grew to thousands, surging into the Capitol. 18 Republican state senators who voted for the law received death threats. Katherine R. Windels of Cross Plains, Wisconsin sent death threat e-mails to Republican lawmakers the same day the legislation passed, and was arrested and charged with two felony and two misdemeanor counts by the Dane County district attorney."

Your attempts to find whataboutisms are getting REAL pathetic.

No one was killed or injured, no weapons were brought to the event. Moreover, it was not an effort to usurp power, but to instead protest a bill. Even a republican admits there was no attempt to vandalize:
[FONT="]One top Republican official at the time noted there was no "malicious damage" to the statehouse and said most of the costs linked to the weeks-long protests were due to law enforcement overtime bills.
...
Much of the minor Act 10 damages were linked to things like tape used on the historic building's walls, which left a residue when removed. But protesters had typically used blue painter's tape after hearing from officials that it was gentlest on the walls and railings.[/FONT]
...
There were fewer than 20 arrests at the Capitol linked to the Act 10 protests during mid-February and March 2011, and none of those arrests were linked to weapons charges.
