Derrick Van Orden Finally Has Plenty to Scream About

AI-slop enthusiast and serial screamer-at-teenagers Derrick Van Orden’s record has finally caught up with him. WI-03 was supposed to be Republicans’ to keep, but American Bridge 21st Century spent the cycle putting Van Orden’s record in front of Wisconsin voters, and they decided they’d seen enough.

We watched him post AI-generated videos and go on unhinged ramblings, and we made sure everyone else saw them too. And while costs in Wisconsin soared, Van Orden claimed Wisconsin families could just go without guacamole. And when Wisconsinites’ healthcare was cut, Van Orden lied to their faces and told them he didn’t do it. We were there to tell every voter the truth. Our research and tracking showed Wisconsinites the real Van Orden, and our over $150,000 investment in billboards across the district made the choice clear.

“Derrick Van Orden spent two years cursing at kids, posting racist garbage, and faking videos of his opponent because he couldn’t defend his own record. Western Wisconsin farmers paid for his tariffs, and tonight he paid for them too,” said American Bridge 21st Century spokesperson Monica Venzke. “We never let voters forget who Derrick Van Orden really is. He’s an embarrassment, and now he’s unemployed.”
