Two farmers from western Wisconsin are speaking out after a meeting last month on agricultural policy with Republican Rep. Derrick Van Orden was derailed by the congressman when he and his staff interrupted and yelled at them, taking issue with the farmers’ apparent political affiliations,” the Wisconsin Independent reports.

According to Bruce, Van Orden went into a “stream of consciousness, run-on sentence monologue” about the CBO, Bruce said, calling the group “Democratic liars” and the report “bullshit.” He said Van Orden looked agitated and was slapping his desk, saying, “That kind of agitation just built into what really felt like being subjected to a tirade rather than having a conversation.”

Bruce said that Van Orden and his staff were dismissive of him because they believed he was a Democrat, saying he wore “the other jersey” and would never vote for Van Orden anyway.

Typical of the modern republican politician.
