Protesters recently staged a mock funeral for Rep. Bryan Steil, R-Wis., delivering a cardboard coffin and epitaph to his home. The incident, captured on video and reported to U.S. Capitol Police, was organized by the Southern Wisconsin Grassroots Network and Working Families Party. This display of dissent followed increased threats to lawmakers and intensified security measures, such as a 93.8% rise in reported threats to Congress. The event also highlighted the broader tensions in political discourse, as Steil and his critics continued to debate the implications of such demonstrations.
