Wisconsin GOP Senator Glenn Grothman Speaks Out After Capitol Mobbing (Video)

Wisconsin State Senator Glenn Grothman was mobbed yesterday by dozens of angry leftists at the state capitol building. Thank goodness there was one decent democrat there to save him from this angry leftist union mob. He’s lucky they didn’t decide to get a little bloody.

I spoke with Senator Grothman last night after the attack. He’s lucky they were just screaming, blowing horns and dropping F-bombs.
Thanks to Founding Bloggers for putting this video together:

Here’s the transcript- thanks to Lady Liberty:

Jim: Glenn, can you tell me what happened exactly from your perspective?

Grothman: I left the Capitol and I had to return to the Capitol for a committee hearing and a speech across the street and try to get into the Capitol. The first entrance, the Media Entrance they had pretty much blocked off. The only entrance I could have gotten in was blocked off by about a thousand protesters. The more I walked around trying to get in the more of a crowd I attracted. Finally I got stuck at the West Avenue exit. Partly due to the anger of the crowd and partly due to the density of the crowd eventually, and with the help of one democratic legislator and a fireman who showed up, we kind of extracted ourselves from the West Avenue exit and found an exit where the police let us in.

They were mostly nice people. I believe most are nice people, college students. There are always some angry types in any crowd but there were some college student types I think, angry, chanting their slogans, giving me the finger and that sort of thing.

Jim: Right. So did you feel threatened then, Glenn?

Grothman: No, I really believe that most of these people are nice people who are just carried away by the minute. I don’t think they are mean people who will harm somebody. I really don’t think so. I think most of them are youthful Wisconsin types, graduate students or hangers-on. I don’t know if you’re from Madison but Madison is like a lot of university cities. It tends to attract these permanent hangers-on types that would show up for a protest like this.

Jim: There was a meeting today between the GOP senators and a few of the democratic senators. Do you feel that the democrats are about to crack?

Grothman: I mean, you know, let’s be honest, the public does not want their legislators in Illinois. They don’t. I don’t know whether I would say if I went to Illinois. There really isn’t much you can say. It’s really rather ridiculous.

Jim: Right. Right. Do you feel that the republicans are holding strong right now?

Grothman: The republicans are holding very strong. They aren’t going to run this thing. The public is on our side.

Jim: And you still believe this?

Grothman: Absolutely!

Jim: Even though some controversial polls came out today?

Grothman: Well, if the polls involve collective bargaining most people don’t know what collective bargaining means. If you ask people what collective bargaining is the public would say, ‘I don’t know’. So how can you poll on collective bargaining if people don’t know what collective bargaining means?

Jim: You’re okay tonight? You don’t hold any hard feelings against the protesters that were harassing you?

Grothman: No. I intend to talk to my protesters again tomorrow.

UPDATE: Sorry the video was not working earlier. It is fixed now.

I do not see this ” nice people ” as a weak stockholm syndrome comment. Grothman is making patronizing remarks of false flattery and undue civility because the fleebaggers are folding, and he’s trying to show good sportsmanship towards their huge loss.

Never mind the civility thing, this guy almost got killed yesterday and only because one of the Democrat leaders jumped in is he around today. At this rate, we can expect our first Leftist Union mob-induced murder sometime in the next two weeks. When that happens, can we say it was because we weren’t civil enough to the Left or is it because we fell on our faces grovelling to prove to them how we always take the high road?

Lifeofthemind commented:

If he had called the crowd out as a bunch of thugs it would have given the media ammunition to use against him. What I wish is that JIm Hoft had asked about the conduct of the Capitol Police. This is very serious. If the sworn police force are not acting to protect the Republican members of the Legislature then this really is an Insurrection and the Governor needs to call out the Guard. If there was a demonstration in DC and any Congressman or Senator, no matter how unpopular, was caught in a crowd they would be taken into the nearest safe place. The US Secret Service protect the President without regard to politics. Turning Mr Grothman away from the “Press Entrance” was worse than unprofessional.

You cannot be serious. A demonrat mob physically blocking a republican senator from entering a door while screaming vulgarities is not in anyway shape or form like a few Tea Partiers taking some pictures of AWOL demonrats coming out of a hotel or restaurant and getting into their cars.

Since the truth is that there’s absolutely no comparison whatsoever, you are either a complete moron and/or a downright liar. The fact you used the word “Baggers” says it all and why I used the word “demonrat.

Context

1.
the parts of a written or spoken statement that precede or follow a specific word or passage, usually influencing its meaning or effect: You have misinterpreted my remark because you took it out of context.
2.
the set of circumstances or facts that surround a particular event, situation, etc.

And, for all you linguistically-challenged libs, it wasn’t a “STOMP”, by any revisionist stretch of the English language. He was holding her head down with his foot. Crazy people spit and bite, and he knew this.

If he had used his knee to hold her head down, you all would be parroting (for months, ad infinitum) that he used a “flying knee drop” on her.

If he had “stomped”, her blood and brains would have been on the sidewalk. But don’t let language get in the way of a good smear. Besides, to a taqiyya-practicing leftist, you can make any word mean anything you want it to — part and parcel of your game is redefinition of terms.

Understand that nobody is saying that conservatives NEVER do anything wrong. However, the media does a wonderful job of making sure that violence against conservatives is covered up or minimalized at best. THAT’S why stories like these are so important, because they will never make it to the front page of a newspaper or a story on the evening news.

I find it particularly amusing when k
eyboard kommandos post this stuff. I am a hillbilly from Southeast KY, I was working at 8 years old and learned to shoot before that. And so did all my friends. We were taught not to pick up a gun unless you meant to use it, and you didn't point it at a living thing unless you were going to kill it.
There are places in my county where you can drop a 16" concrete block down a hole and never hear it hit bottom. You guys are always talking about how this will end in violence and how the badass conservatives will clean up. I got news for ya. You wanna bring that macho uber-patriot sh!t down to where I am from, you will never be seen again. And there will be no trace of you.
I am reminded of a song:
"Revenue man wanted Granddaddy bad,
headed up the holler with everything he had.
Before my time, but I been told
He never come back from Copperhead Road."

“Canada’s Radio Act requires that “a licenser may not broadcast … any false or misleading news.” The provision has kept Fox News and right-wing talk radio out of Canada and helped make Canada a model for liberal democracy and freedom. As a result of that law, Canadians enjoy high quality news coverage, including the kind of foreign affairs and investigative journalism that flourished in this country before Ronald Reagan abolished the “Fairness Doctrine” in 1987. Political dialogue in Canada is marked by civility, modesty, honesty, collegiality, and idealism that have pretty much disappeared on the US airwaves. When Stephen Harper moved to abolish the anti-lying provision of the Radio Act, Canadians rose up to oppose him fearing that their tradition of honest non-partisan news would be replaced by the toxic, overtly partisan, biased and dishonest news coverage familiar to American citizens who listen to Fox News and talk radio. Harper’s proposal was timed to facilitate the launch of a new right-wing network, “Sun TV News” which Canadians call “Fox News North.”"
LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#84, continued:
“Harper’s attempts to make lying legal on Canadian television are a stark admission that right-wing political ideology can only dominate national debate through dishonest propaganda. Since corporate profit-taking is not an attractive vessel for populism, a political party or broadcast network that makes itself the tool of corporate and financial elites must lie to make its agenda popular with the public. In the Unites States, Fox News and talk radio, the sock puppets of billionaires and corporate robber barons, have become the masters of propaganda and distortion on the public airwaves. Fox News’ notoriously biased and dishonest coverage of the Wisconsin’s protests is a prime example of the brand of news coverage Canada has smartly avoided.”
EXCELLENT!

@ Rock: “Amazing, I had a uncle who died on the Bataan Death March, and another who died during the Battle of the Bulge. However neither one could be called anything but loyal.”
What are you trying to say?

Given my comment was directed to Libs in general, your decision to drop the F-Bomb seemed a little extreme,
What am I saying?
WWII was long before the Lib mentality that engulfs us today, and can be traced back to the 60′s filth of California. Short version, your uncle may have been a liberal in the forties, but I have seriously misgivings he shared the mentality of today’s brand of left wingers.
Thus like my uncles I suspect he served out of love of country and not a political agenda. And there was a little zinger for no other reason than as a Liberal with supposed superiority mentality, misspoke as to where our uncles died, but far less abusive than the f-bomb. We all make mistakes, not to worry.

All the tick for tat that trolls bring here are just childish BS. There are enough extremes from either side to shame either.
Our disrespect for the Soros funded media is well earned. Until the Van Jones incident I watched CNN and Fox pretty mush exclusively, the networks lost me with the Rather expose on the Bush stories he tried to hand the country. Anyway back to the Van Jones incident, I had seen the Beck stories on him and was troubled when I saw nothing on CNN. Then the long weekend comes roles around and Van Jones is dropped in the late of night, and still no one but Fox covered it until the weekend ended. Pretty well decided who I was going to trust when it came to WTF and friends.

Why thank you for that civilized and thoughtful response. Maybe now we can have a real discussion?

My take on media is that they are all only telling us what they want us to know, and then when something gets too big to ignore, it’s “how do we present this to get what we want”
My problem with FOX is the BLATANT lying and misreporting misrepresentation in order to advance the expressed goal of undermining the political process.
Look, do you think MSNBC is a Liberal outlet?
They are owned by GE,one of the largest corporations on the planet. maker of engines for fighters and other military aircraft. REALLY?

I would hope so but my experience passing through Frisco on my return from the Nam (twice) has pretty well condition me to not only hate the extreme Left, but to distrust them totally. My education was in an era when Socialist had not infected the education system in this nation. Twenty year in service included many hours in study of the Socialist agenda in basic and many more in advance courses have set my beliefs. So there is no way I can or would accept the Socialist lie. I have been all over this world and have seen the end result of a two tier society. Nothing will ever change my distrust of any argue in defense of such.

G.E. I would suggest is a poor example, their connection with Soros nullifies the many advances they have provided this nation and the world.

All media has an agenda, but as I stated earlier the Van Jones incident and his progressive nature not covered was a bridge too far, so to speak.

Now let’s look at precisely what you are referencing………

“Also, I have never prevented anyone from responding to any of my posts. And you did so in the most predictable fashion of anyone here……….”

You did…………you RESPONDED to my post.

You are so slow on the uptake the it should be studied as a way to NOT act in a debate.

LOL

Not at all, as it took a few seconds after reading it……………………………….after I got home from work. You know, that thing you people think the Left doesn’t do.

Nice try.

But thanks for playing

Airhead,

Lying again. Go back and read what you wrote before you ‘left for work’. Remember the lecture about context?

If you meant you were commenting about my response why didn’t you indicate that?

I’ll tell you why. Because it isn’t what you meant. If it was what you meant to say then you should take a course in English writing. Your communication skills stink!

Of course, you seem to be quite capable of expressing yourself when it comes to ‘tea baggers’.

Like a monkey in the zoo that you are, go play with yourself. We’re all a little tired of your nitpicking and poo flinging.

Why do right ringers have to resort to name calling. You put yourselves in a class of stupidity. If you could just comment without making your remarks in such a derogatory manner people might listen to you. Wonder what you will say when you meet your Maker. Apologies will be too late.
