A mob of Democratic protesters in Wisconsin calling for the defunding of law enforcement and removal of public historical statues are "hellbent on mass destruction," GOP State Sen. Kathleen Bernier said Thursday.
In an interview with host Brian Kilmeade, Bernier said she believed the Tuesday evening attack of her Democratic counterpart, State Sen. Tim Carpenter, at the hands of Black Lives Matter (BLM) protesters had finally lit a fire under Democratic Gov. Tony Evers to take action.
"Well, I think the governor felt that if he let them blow off steam that somehow they would, you know, kind of burn out and let the rest take its course. But, I think the fact that Sen. Carpenter was severely beaten by BLM that he then decided to call in the National Guard."
Carpenter was pummeled at the Wisconsin State Capitol late Tuesday after taking a photo of some protesters involved in a violent clash that included two statues being toppled.
“I don’t know what happened,” he later told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “All I did was stop and take a picture and the next thing I’m getting five-six punches, getting kicked in the head.”
The Madison Police Department told Fox News that the Capitol Police will likely handle the case.
The violence began after a group of 200 to 300 protesters marched through downtown Madison, initially blocking intersections and obstructing driveways, Madison Police Department said in an incident report. The situation escalated when the group reached the State Capitol grounds.
Statues of Lady Forward, and Col. Hans Christian Heg, who fought and died during the Civil War on the Union side, were torn down and removed from the grounds. Both statues were later recovered, a city official told the Wisconsin State Journal, noting that protesters had removed the leg of Heg.

"That says they can beat me up because I'm a Republican senator," Bernier remarked.
"They are just hellbent on mass destruction. And, they’re a mob. And, they are going to take out anyone or everyone and they want something – [they] apparently communicated that they want all of the money that we spend on police and protection to go to community programs. That isn't even realistic in any way, shape, or form," she added.
“...are “hellbent on mass destruction,” GOP State Sen. Kathleen Bernier said Thursday...”
The shear genius of some politicians.
“...The Madison Police Department told Fox News that the Capitol Police will likely handle the case....”
Because they sure won’t.
What happened is this: you almost got killed by the very people you have empowered.
Another lefty mugged.
Why stop now, send in reinforcements! There are 12 more Democratic Senators left. Give the mob a chance to beat up the other 12, you know equal opportunity and all that other Lib speak.....
“Proper side” huh?
"That says they can beat me up because I'm a Republican senator," Bernier remarked.
That is exactly the message it sends to the Marxist Mob.
You can beat up those who want to retain the rule of law and the Constitutional order.
Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes just admited the BLM and Antifa are the Left's Brownshirts.
“...are “hellbent on mass destruction,”
The phrase should be unique to the “mob” as in their mass destruction. Don’t we have some A-10s available??
I doubt that characterization will be endorsed by Mr. Carpenter.
“Proper side” huh?
Yup, just like when a certain immigrant pissident said: ensure this gets to the right investigators.
The two large women who attacked him are clearly identifiable on the video of the event. Will the crack cops of Madison make an arrest? Will the woke DA prosecute? Will a Madison jury convict? Would a judge impose a jail term? Those two large women will remain free to eat and do what they want. Then again they just might assault the wrong person.
Madison: 35 square miles surrounded by reality.
The proper side. Next they’ll demand Republicans wear a large R patch.
And they're Democrats.
Keep voting Democrat
What happened is this: you almost got killed by the very people you have empowered.
I’ll bet this congressman had a big laugh when the Republican baseball players were shot. To hell with him, I couldn’t care less what happened to him.
Her colleague had it coming and got what he deserved for enabling the mob.
