Democrat Nebraska State Senator Machaela Cavanaugh has earned a reputation for disruptive behavior.
In 2023, when the Nebraska Legislature voted to pass a bill that would make most abortions after 12 weeks illegal and place restrictions on gender-affirming care for transgender individuals under the age of 19, Cavanaugh threw a fit on the Senate floor, where she bizarrely chanted for over two minutes.

Prior to the vote, Cavanaugh threatened to ‘burn the session to the ground’ in an effort to filibuster the entire 2023 state legislative session to encourage permanently mutilating children.
The nation has begun celebrations for America’s 250th birthday, including a display at Nebraska’s State Capital, which features displays of historical figures, including signers of the Declaration of Independence.
Cavanaugh reacted to the display by ripping some of the displays off the wall, and she was caught on camera.
Governor Jim Pillen (R) shared videos and pictures of Cavanaugh in action.
“Nebraska’s celebration of America’s 250th birthday includes showcasing historical figures and events in our most important public space, our beautiful State Capitol,” Pillen wrote on X.
“These include Declaration of Independence signers and prominent women in American history, among others.”
“Sadly, this morning several of those displays were ripped off the walls by State Senator Machaela Cavanaugh, infamous for filibustering the entire 2023 legislative session to protect sex-change surgeries on kids.”
“Celebrating America during our 250th year should be a moment of unity and patriotism, not divisiveness and destructive partisanship. I am disappointed in this shameful and selfish bad example.”

A screenshot from the video shows her with a beaming smile, clearly proud of her vandalism.
Governor Pillen shared a photo of some of the removed items stacked on the floor in Cavanaugh’s office following her tantrum.
