Rep. Derrick Van Orden of Wisconsin’s Third District
wants you to think he is a tough guy.
He wears his Navy SEAL Trident like a shield, using his past service to deflect from the fact that he is a traitor to this country and tried to overthrow a democratically elected government on January 6th, 2021.
