Van Orden has explicitly said Democrats, Democratic organizations such as the DCCC and DNC, George Soros, and the Media are responsible for the murder of Charlie Kirk.

MADISON, Wis. — Since the horrific murder of Charlie Kirk, Wisconsin’s third Congressional district Representative Derrick Van Orden has tweeted well over 550 times, the vast majority of which relate to the Kirk murder. In the course of this, Van Orden has:

Called Democrats “Domestic Terrorists” and specifically called out the DNC and DCCC
Agreed with the conspiracy that it was the Democrats who tried to kill Trump
Agreed that George Soros should be investigated and charged with fueling the murder of Kirk
Has called for violence
Openly inviting a Civil War

“America’s most dedicated keyboard warrior Derrick Van Orden will not stop encouraging violence against Democrats and reporters — when is someone in his own party going to tell him to stop?” said Democratic Party of Wisconsin spokesperson Philip Shulman. “It says a lot about Derrick Van Orden’s lack of character that he spends his days endless scrolling Twitter to encourage violence against others, and yet he still won’t meet face to face with his everyday constituents.”

Rep. Wied penned an op-ed calling for calm and for both parties to lower the temperature. He has been completely silent in the face of Van Orden’s dangerous onslaught.
