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.

[snip]

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 occupiers were praised publically by Pelosi for their "impressive show of democracy in action." 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.

Fox News contributor Mark Thiessen highlighted Pelosi’s previous remarks in a column for the Washington Post earlier this month, oberving that “in other words, Democrats were for occupying capitols before they were against it.”

As Rush has been pointing out for DECADES dems hypocrisy is irrelevant because the MSM never ever reports it. We can point it out until we are blue in the face but, if the MSM never ever reports it, it didn’t happen.
While Conservatives for DECADES have played the just leave me alone, I can’t be bothered with all that crap. I just want to live my life in peace the dems have been infiltrating the schools, our churches, our local gov’t, our military, Hollywood, Music, local news stations, etc...
Our just leave me be complacency for many decades has resulted in the position we find ourselves in today.

1996 : () The Clinton-China Connection Goes Way Back, The Phyllis Schlafly Report (1998)
The China Connection Is the Real Scandal
Now we know why the Democrats were so vicious in their attacks on Senator Fred Thompson (R-TN) and Rep. Dan Burton (R-IN). Theirs were the committees that were closing in on the China connection, the scandal that can bring down the Clinton presidency, the scandal that has made Congressmen start to utter the T word (treason). A series of front-page news stories in the New York Times (May 15, 16, 17 [1998]) essentially vindicated Thompson’s charge that the Chinese Communist Government tried to influence the 1996 U.S. election with campaign contributions.
Bill Clinton’s friend and ubiquitous Democratic fundraiser Johnny Chung told Federal investigators that he funneled nearly $100,000 from the Communist Chinese military to the Democratic campaign in the summer of 1996. The money was handed to Chung by the daughter of the top commander of China’s People’s Liberation Army, General Liu Huaqing, who was also one of the top five members of the Chinese Communist Party’s ruling Politburo.
Chung’s liaisons with the Clinton Administration were so cozy that he was able to arrange for the daughter, who goes by the name of Lt. Col. Liu Chaoying, to get a speedy visa and come to America to be photographed with Clinton on July 22, 1996. She is what is called a “princeling,” one of the privileged offspring of China’s ruling elite. In addition to her title as Lieutenant Colonel in the People’s Liberation Army, she is a senior manager and vice president for China Aerospace International Holdings, which is the Hong Kong arm of China Aerospace Corporation, a state-owned jewel in China’s military-industrial complex, with interests in satellite technology, rocket launches, and missiles.
Johnny Chung told Federal investigators that Col. Liu actually gave him $300,000, which she said originated with China’s military’s intelligence arm, and told him to use the money for Democratic campaign contributions. He apparently kept $200,000 for his “businesses.” Soon after the picture-taking fundraiser, Col. Liu had Chung open a California branch of Marswell Investing, another of her Hong Kong enterprises, whose chief “business” was parking Chinese money in the United States. She also invested $300,000 in Chung’s facsimile business. Chung was quite a hustler; he visited Clinton’s White House 49 times.
After fundraising investigations began last year, the Democratic National Committee returned $366,000 to Chung which were suspected of being illegal foreign contributions. Chung has pleaded guilty to campaign-related bank and tax fraud.

That’s what I’ve been saying all along.

Pelosi and the Democrats have supported and encouraged this so-called “insurrection” and “seditious” behavior for the past 4 years.

When BLM burned down Minnesota along with several city buildings AND a police department, Pelosi made a political statement IN THAT SAME CAPITAL BUILDING by wearing african garb and kneeling to show solidarity with those who had burned the city.

Is that not insurrection?
Is that not sedition?

This is gaslighting by the Democrats to gain total political power over the nation.

On November 16, 2011, Jia Qinglin, Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, met at the Great Hall of the People with a delegation from the Center for American Progress headed by the organization’s president and CEO John Podesta.

Jia congratulated on the success of the 3rd “China-U.S. Dialogue” sponsored by Center for American Progress (CAP), Chinese People’s Institute of Foreign Affairs (CPIFA) and China-United States Exchange Foundation (CUSEF). He also appreciated the positive efforts made by the CAP to build up mutual understanding and friendship between China and the U.S..

I've been trying to find her original Tweet and apparently iit’s been scrubbed from the Internet. If you see it, ping me.

And why hasn't one Republican thrown this back in her face?

Note that Podesta’s CAP was meeting with the Chinese in the same year the WI capitol was stormed by the Democrats and their leftist allies.

STUNNING: All Major Western Media Outlets Take ‘Private Dinners’, ‘Sponsored Trips’ From Chinese Communist Propaganda Front
National Pulse ^ | 12/29/2020 | Natalie Winters
Posted on 12/29/2020, 1:47:14 PM by SeekAndFind

A host of corporate media outlets including CNN, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and MSNBC have participated in private dinners and sponsored trips with the China-United States Exchange Foundation, a Chinese Communist Party-funded group seeking to garner “favorable coverage” and “disseminate positive messages” regarding China, The National Pulse can reveal.

Other outlets involved in the propaganda operation include Forbes, the Financial Times, Newsweek, Bloomberg, Reuters, ABC News, the Economist, the Wall Street Journal, AFP, TIME magazine, LA Times, The Hill, BBC, and The Atlantic.

The relationship is revealed in the Department of Justice’s Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA) filings, which reveal a relationship spanning over a decade between establishment media outlets and the China–United States Exchange Foundation (CUSEF).

Mark Thiessen also went on camera recently to blame President Trump for “inciting violence”, saying something like he has “blood on his hands.”

His statements were shockingly disgusting.

I wonder if Trump’s legal team will refer to this storming of the Madison, Wisconsin capitol in 2011 in the impeachment trial. They can argue as one of many points that Nancy Pelosi wasn’t following the constitution in having the article of impeachment passed in the House of Representatives.

When it’s Marxists communists working for the Democrat Party, it’s OK. So who here still thinks Antifa is a free organization with no connection to the de4mocrat party? LOL Antifa is the militant arm of the Democrat Party, they take their orders from the Party and are bailed out of jail by Party leaders.
