Illinois State Rep. goes on epic rant against authoritarian tactics of Dem Speaker

by The Right Scoop

First a quick background from ABC News:

Bost, a Republican, unloaded on Democrats led by House Speaker Mike Madigan for setting votes on pension reform bills without providing enough time for lawmakers to assess the measures after they emerged from committee.

Basically the Democrat Speaker in the Illinois House played a little game of switcheroo in pension legislation without giving lawmakers enough time to assess the changes. And that led to this epic rant from Republican Mike Bost:

Wow. I have never seen someone so livid, and with good reason, in the American political arena. But that was awesome. I mean the conditions that provoked it are horrible, but it’s about time we see more passion on the Right about the thuggery that occurs in Congress, whether on the right or the left. But what he’s railing against reminds me of how Pelosi ran the House when she was in power. Totalitarians.

Here is Bost on Fox News earlier today (h/t: Hotair):
