Posted on May 28 2012 – 8:30 PM – Posted by: Doug Brady

Sen. Ron Johnson said Thursday that every member of the state legislature in  Wisconsin received an email that said “we’re going to put a bullet in your head.  We know where you and your family live.”

Johnson, speaking in Washington, D.C. at America’s Future Foundation’s annual  gala, said that at the height of Gov. Scott Walker’s fight against the unions,  every member of the state legislature was threatened. (VIDEO:  TheDC’s Ginni Thomas interview Sen. Ron Johnson)

“The story really wasn’t told properly — we had every member of the state  legislature get an email that said, ‘We’re going to put a bullet in your head.  We know where you and your family lives.’ Now, that wasn’t reported very well  because I guess that’s not newsworthy when it’s a union thug making a threat  against a conservative.”

Johnson told The Daily Caller that the high level of intimidation and  political divisiveness in Wisconsin is due to Walker’s fight to reign in  spending pushed by public sector unions.

“Scott Walker did a hard thing — he actually solved a problem, and he did it  in a way that recognized and addressed one of the growing problems here, and  that is really the power of the public sector unions and, I would say, the  unholy alliance between elected officials that get supported by those unions and  the unions themselves,” Johnson told TheDC.
