Drunk Uncle Crookie Award 2023: Derrick Van Orden

How or why this POS won a WI senator seat is beyond belief. Well, his antics haven't gone unnoticed and so wins a "Major Award."

Everyone has that one drunk uncle that you want to avoid if at all possible and if you can't, you just cringe and try to deny even knowing them. You know the kind, belligerent to the neighborhood kids, obnoxious know-it-all but who is never around when you need a hand moving.

sure about the accuracy and truth in some of their elections? I have to wonder how crooked some of them might be. Not just the gerrymandering.

He opted not to run when his very purple district seemed to get more red during Covid.

I am hopeful that this horrible person will be out of the House by January 2025.

The new maps won’t be for congressional races unfortunately, but I am hoping to find some money to donate to a challenger.

Cannot believe this insurrectionist is from our state.
