At the 10-year anniversary of the mob takeover of WI State Capitol
From Scott Walker’s book Unintimidated:
“The police retreated in the face of the horde, giving up the first floor, then the second. The protesters ran amok, chanting ‘This is our house!’ and ‘This is what democracy looks like!’ And they then began searching for the Republican senators who had dared to defy the will of the unions.

But a Democratic representative posted on social media that the Republican senators were escaping through the tunnels, so when the senators came up into the lobby, the mob was there waiting for them.” (H/T Joe Handrick)

Tom Rice, R-S.C.
