AFTER MINNESOTA KILLINGS, CAPITOL HILL REPRESENTATIVES FACE STARK REALITY ABOUT FAMILY SAFETY
Prior to the "Death of Democracy" funeral procession, sponsored by the Southern Wisconsin Grassroots Network and Working Families Party, an organizer could be heard on a Facebook Live video saying, "We're not going to hang out here because we're not going to invite the police to come and ask questions, and say, 'What are you doing here, blah, blah, blah.' We're just going to get out of town."
Following the demonstration, protesters could be seen walking across Steil's front yard, forgoing the sidewalk, and commenting on photo opportunities in front of the home.
A photo of the coffin and epitaph at the front door was later posted to Facebook by another group involved. One commentator asked for the lawmaker’s home address.

This incident has been reported to U.S. Capitol Police (USCP). It is unclear if any of the protesters are facing criminal charges.
"It’s disappointing that Democrat leadership and the radical left resort to these type of tactics," Steil told Fox News Digital. "I remain committed to my work to get this country back on track and will not be deterred by their threats."
