Republican Sen. George Winner of Elmira blamed Angelo Aponte, secretary of the Senate, for not preventing the protest. Winner said Aponte violated chamber rules by allowing it to go on. Republicans have already sought Aponte’s resignation, to no avail.
“Today’s disgraceful actions outside the Senate chamber were clearly sanctioned by Secretary of the Senate Angelo Aponte,” Winner said. “He put the well-being of staff and legislators in jeopardy by allowing a violent protest in a restricted area of the Senate lobby.”

If it works in the state senate, look for expansion into the US House and Senate chambers. Democrats are all about power, their thirty plus years of empowering their party via the slaughter of alive unborn should have proven that decades ago.

The hell with Aponte. Do any of these Republicans have a damned cell phone? Get on the horn and call the State Police. Tell them there is a riot at the State House by a violent mob. Maybe that would get their asses moving.
