Wanna see an out of control Wisconsin Republican?



This is the kind of shit we have to deal with in Wisconsin.

During a lively post-debate roll call on a bill requiring ultrasounds before abortions, Republican Senate President Mike Ellis got so worked up and banged his gavel so forcefully and often that he broke the base. He shouted at Democrats: "You're interrupting a roll call and that will not be tolerated, sit down!"

from the Tea Party movement, because he hasn't been "pure" enough. Maybe playing to the base yesterday?
