MADISON, Wis. — In its recap of the RNC, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel named its “Winners and Losers” of the convention. Chief among the losers was Wisconsin’s very own Derrick Van Orden. Van Orden spent his RNC week doing what he does best—throwing temper tantrums and hurling insults online.

Loser: Derrick Van Orden

Who knew that U.S. Rep. Derrick Van Orden, a former Navy SEAL, was such a snowflake?

On Tuesday, Van Orden, a Prairie du Chien Republican, bumped into a young Code Pink activist near the Pfister Hotel and ended up dragging the police into it by accusing her of assault.

Thankfully, the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office announced that it decided not to bring charges against Nour Jaghama, the Code Pink critic of the Gaza war, because the evidence in the case, including police body camera footage, “is insufficient to support a criminal charge.”

Then, Van Orden took a shot from Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson after the congressman told Urban Milwaukee that the mayor had done a “horrible job” leading Wisconsin’s largest city.

Johnson fired back on X, “I hope that Mr. Van Orden’s visit to Milwaukee was more memorable than his visit to the United States Capitol on January 6th.”
