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.
