GOP lawmaker aims profane tirade at high school-age Capitol Hill pages: report

A Wisconsin Republican lawmaker reportedly went on a profane tirade against a group of high school-age Capitol Hill pages this week.

Punchbowl News' Jake Sherman reports that Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-WI) "cursed out" the pages on Wednesday night when they were taking photos in the Capitol Rotunda.

According to Sherman's sources, he called the pages "lazy sh-ts" and told them to "get the f--k up" instead of sitting around and taking photos during what was their last week working at the Capitol.

What's more, reports Sherman, this is not the first time that the Wisconsin Republican has gone on a tirade in front of children.

"Van Orden has a history of public outbursts toward minors," he writes. "He once got into it with a library page in Wisconsin over an LGBTQ book display during Pride Month. He said he would make whoever put the display up pay for it. He later checked out all the books."
