First news I saw on Pigloski stepping down. They kept that pretty quiet.
Wisconsin Republican Derrick Van Orden told Breitbart News Saturday this weekend that he is ready to take on any hand-picked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) Democrat that carries “Pelosi’s radical leftist water,” as he calls for electing statesmen to D.C., not politicians.
Van Orden, who is running in Wisconsin’s third congressional district, appeared on Breitbart News Saturday on SiriusXM 125 the Patriot Channel to say he’s ready to face any hand-picked Pelosi Democrat now that his original opponent, Rep. Ron Kind (D-WI), announced his retirement after a slew of scandals were unearthed around him. He also spoke about what he will do in office if elected and if the Republicans regain the majority.
Host Matthew Boyle, Breitbart News’s Washington political editor, first asked Van Orden about Kind not running for reelection next year and Kind giving up, leaving Van Orden the only person running.
Van Orden, in response, said he wanted to thank Kind for his service over the last 26 years, noting that retirement might have been his best decision since taking office. “The reason being is that the people in the third district of the state of Wisconsin, the entire State of Wisconsin, I think the nation, have seen that the left has gone so far, so fast, and what they’re proposing now, and some of the legislation that they’ve passed are just incompatible with American values, and Ron Kind represented that for the Democrat party, and he knew that I would be beating him soundly,” he added.
Since Kind has dropped out, Van Orden explained that “Pelosi is gonna hand-pick another candidate to run against me, and that person is gonna have to carry Nancy Pelosi’s radical leftist water.” He added, “That’s just the way it is. So I’m fighting against an agenda, and the agenda is massive spending. It has led to uncontrolled inflation, people that wanna have open borders, which means, in essence, we don’t have a nation, and people that want to instill socialism into our country, critical race theory into the military, into schools, that’s what I’m fighting against. So that has not stopped.”
Since announcing his candidacy, Van Orden has received endorsements from all of the Republican House Leadership, and Friday, former President Donald Trump endorsed him. “I’m incredibly proud of that,” Van Orden said in response to Trump’s endorsement. He mentioned that everyone needs to remember where Van Orden started and now, calling that the American Dream. “I was raised in abject rural poverty by a single mom, and I was a foolish young man, dropped out of high school, and now 16-years-old, joined the Navy at 18, got a GED. Serve our country for 26 years, 21 as a Navy SEAL. I did five combat tours, I’m a dad and a grandpa, so I came from the most humble start you possibly can in the United States. And I had a personal meeting with President Donald Trump in his office, and he endorsed me to run for Congress. That is the American dream,” he explained.
According to Van Orden, the country is at an inflection point, saying, “There are people who are in elected to offices that are trying to destroy the American Dream. I’m not gonna stand for that. I will not allow that to happen on my watch. And I need everybody’s help. Honestly, we’re up against the machine here, the Democrat party is the machine, and that’s what I’m fighting.”

Realist - Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.
