Two years ago, Derrick Van Orden was in a restricted area on Capitol grounds as a violent coup attempt brewed. Today, Derrick Van Orden is sitting in Congress, the very institution rioters and insurrectionists attacked.
Derrick Van Orden’s participation in the deadly assault must never be forgotten.
-
Derrick Van Orden was in a restricted area of Capitol grounds while a riot broke out which cost the lives of five people and injured 140 police officers.
-
Derrick Van Orden flouted the law by using campaign funds as a personal slush fund to bankroll his trip to the insurrection.
-
Derrick Van Orden spent months baselessly and dangerously casting doubt on the results of his own election and propagating the “Big Lie” that the election was stolen.
DCCC spokesperson Tommy Garcia:
“Two years ago, Derrick Van Orden sought to undermine democracy and the constitution, and yet any day now he is to swear an oath to protect and defend the very thing he tried to destroy. Over the next two years, Wisconsin voters will see that Van Orden is not concerned about working for them but is simply craven for power – just like he was on January 6th when he supported Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the will of the American people.”
