'Chicken sh*ts': Wisconsin #RightToWork hearing closed after alleged 'credible threat'

As Twitchy reported earlier, a Wisconsin Senate Labor Committee hearing on proposed right-to-work legislation reportedly drew thousands to the state capitol building, with some rallying on the front steps and others packing the capitol rotunda. Up to nine hours were set aside for testimony, but by late this evening, the committee chairman moved to dismiss the hearing based on what he called a “credible threat.”

By this hour both legislators and civilians had lost patience.
