Last night, our truck calling on Governor Ned Lamont to veto pay for striking workers was vandalized, struck by rocks, while another union protester tried to pry off the screen. This was intimidation and violence trying to silence political discourse. We call on elected officials in

.Chris Murphy 🟧 claims those who lean right are "bathed in violence." We call on him to denounce his union allies for their efforts at political intimidation at last night's protest and damaging our billboard truck. ALL voices deserve protection. Guy Benson

We call on union leadership to step forward and identify those responsible for the damage to the billboard truck and pay for the damage to the small business.

Thank you! The damage didn’t just strengthen our resolve — it exposed the weakness of the unions' arguments. When people resort to intimidation and violence, that’s not strength. That’s desperation.

.IBEW Local 420 proudly featured this “peaceful protester” on their website…Just one problem — minutes later, he was caught on video vandalizing private property. Guess that part didn’t make the highlight reel. #CTPolitics Mike Cerulli Mike Savino🗒🎥 CT Senate Republicans Connecticut Dems

There is no place for intimidation, violence or silencing in our political discourse. That’s what the unions tried last night. If union officials and our elected leaders truly believe in fairness and the free exchange of ideas, now is the time to prove it.

This is what some outlets are calling "alleged"... Our LED screen was damaged. And a protester tried to pry off one of our signs.

Our truck was struck with rocks. And witnesses reported rallygoers attempting to pry off a billboard screen. Is this ok with you Governor Ned Lamont? courant.com/2025/06/17/hun…

CT unions protested outside Gov. Lamont’s mansion for S.B. 8, but things got ugly when a protester vandalized our billboard. Is this how they “level the playing field”? yankeeinstitute.org/2025/06/17/scr…

A union rally for S.B. 8 (pay for striking workers) turned ugly with vandalism of our truck urging Governor Ned Lamont to veto the bill. Is this about workers’ rights or political intimidation? yankeeinstitute.org/2025/06/17/scr…

The Connecticut Employees Union Independent (CEUI) responded not with embarrassment or apology, but with a chest-thumping post that read: “Anti-Union Yankee Institute thinks they can show up to our rally but we told them to hit the road!” Yankee Institute buff.ly/elALzN0

Yankee Institute’s billboard truck was vandalized at a union protest. Is this what “pro-worker” looks like in CT? yankeeinstitute.org/2025/06/17/scr…
