    Default Flashback: Nancy Pelosi praised unionists storming Wisconsin State Capitol

    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.

    Yes, politicians have very short memories, some shorter than others.

    Your attempts to find whataboutisms are getting REAL pathetic.

    https://www.com/story/news/2021/01/0...ge/6584619002/

    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:
    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.

    ...
    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.

    The anti-union scab is the lowest form of life, comparable to a terrorist, child molester, Republican, or fucking moron from Tennessee.

    That didn't happen. Fox News is lying to you, like usual.

    Again, a republican in Madison said there was no malicious violence. Take it up with the WI GOP.

    I'm taking it up with you.



    Did some kids accidentally hit the glass while playing baseball?

    Madison police confirmed Tuesday morning that the department had arrested six people during Monday night protests, including one person armed with a handgun, and continued to investigate the unrest to identify potential additional suspects.

    Spurred by the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, protesters took to the streets in Madison on Monday; arrests began when some protesters lit fires in dumpsters, hit officers with rocks and other objects and shattered windows. The State Capitol was among the buildings damaged.

    Police said about 500 people attended the protests. More protest activity was expected Tuesday, including a march for Black Lives Matter and subsequent candlelight vigil at the Capitol from 6 to 9 p.m., organized by Freedom Inc.

    State Sen. Howard Marklein (R-Spring Green) said that the damage to his office at the Capitol was similar to the damage of nearly two months ago, when windows in his office were smashed during the protests after the death of George Floyd.

    Wrong, no one went into hiding, no one was violent, no actual legislative area was overtaken, normal proceedings weren't postponed, it was a common area that was open to the public, in fact, no one stopped the demonstrators from entering the building. Lets see if you can back up your claim by offering proof that windows and doors were broken, security was assaulted, people were killed, and legislators fled for their lives

    Fox and Rand Paul lied to you
