Liberal union thugs? How about Republican Congressional thugs? (VIDEO)

Conservatives, especially here in Wisconsin, are really fond of attacking so-called “union thugs,” but here’s an example of a Republican Congressman acting like an absolute thug.

They deprive people of their rights, steal their money, intentionally harm them, intimidate them and disrespect them. Things that thugs like Walker do to working-class people all the time.

I'm glad they got Grimm's behavior on film. What an asshole. When I watched the clip it reminded me of Randy Hopper getting right in the face of a protester a few years ago. The people with him had to pull him away and get him out of there before he got violent.
