Democrats Were for Occupying Capitols Before They Were Against It

"Thousands of protesters rushed to the ... Capitol Wednesday night, forcing their way through doors, crawling through windows and jamming corridors." That is how one newspaper described the storming of the Capitol " not the one in Washington last week, but the state Capitol in Madison, Wis., a decade ago.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) praised the occupiers for an "impressive show of democracy in action" and tweeted as they assaulted the Capitol that she continued "to stand in solidarity" with the union activists.

Thankfully, no one was killed. But during the course of the occupation, Walker received a steady stream of death threats against him and his wife, including one that promised to "gut her like a deer" and one threatening to kill his sons. Police found dozens of .22-caliber bullets scattered across the Capitol grounds. The occupiers drew chalk outlines of fake dead bodies etched with Walker's name on the floor, and carried signs that read "Death to tyrants," "The only good Republican is a dead Republican" and one with picture of him in crosshairs with the words, "Don't retreat, Reload."
