Can't wait to vote this disgraceful POS out of office in 2026.

Both elections he won by nearly the same margin.

Great article....for an ex Wisconsinite people like Rep Orden are disturbing.
Bill Lueders keep speaking the true to people in Wisconsin.

While I appreciate the outrage aimed at Van Orden, I am more concerned about the people who insist on voting for him. These are the same people who voted for Trump, Vance, Ron Johnson!, etc. The reality is the people of WI are as repulsive as the people they persistently choose to represent them.

gerrymandering has allowed gop to install the most ultra conservative, religion infused loyalists in both state & fed legislatures, over the yrs through a blend of retirements & primarying incumbents have put ppl such as this one & thousands more into power positions-the ultimate gerrymander goal

Why does so much attention focus on the person chosen to represent rather than the representatives making the choice?

Voters ?

Senate and Congress: turn your backs on 47 tomorrow.
Please don't engage in the same old performative theater of sitting on your hands.
Stand up - stand up for OUR rights!!!

Make sure you VOTE accordingly; spineless maga &
gop idiots need to be removed

Van Orden's only foolishness is being so remarkably transparent with his despicable behavior.

ratatouillecat.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Hate to say it but everything I see that he represents is exactly what MAGA is. So I don’t think you can speak for the ENTIRE state of Wisconsin. You guys got what you voted for.

Par for the course, as they say.

The vote was rigged. Russia rigged it. Time for the military to defend the constitution.

Yes, I live here, and he is indeed a fool. I am embarrassed.

kungpaokitty.bsky.social•6 hours ago

As a life long Wisconsonite I agree that he embarrasses my state along with every other GOP rep and Ron Johnson. Steil is my rep and can't find him anywhere. They need to answer to us and be held accountable!

“Ogre” von all-is-in-Ordnung is a MAGAnificent warrior & should be forgiven for his “udderences” due to his early Seal training accident where one of those 500 lb logs fell on his head; still hasn’t recovered.

Sounds like the early stages of dementia.

Another example of how one should not reflexively vote for a veteran (or football player/coach). Some people who served advanced merely because the smarter officers knew they would need cannon fodder.

jamesbenton.bsky.social•7 hours ago

I can only imagine all the minor examples too numerous to list from co-workers, fellow SEALS, and neighbors. Woe to the worker at the drive through who forgets to give him a straw! Another MAGA dude who needs therapy, not a congressional seat.
