Rep. Derrick Van Orden, R-Wis., has a message for the “anonymous” person who made a “credible threat” against his family: “You will not intimidate me.”
Still, the Wisconsin Republican says the specificity of the latest threat against his wife, children, and grandchildren forced him to cancel an online town hall session last week and miss several votes as he rushed back to his southwest Wisconsin home to make sure his loved ones were safe.
Van Orden said the letter, sent to his Washington, D.C. office, was immediately reported to the appropriate authorities. The lawmaker’s congressional colleague, Rep. Bryan Steil, a Republican who represents Wisconsin’s 1st Congressional District and chairs the powerful House Administration committee, told The Federalist that Capitol security is investigating.
So is the FBI, Van Orden told me late last week on the Vicki McKenna Show in Milwaukee.
“The Capitol Police have been involved as well as the Postmaster General and the FBI,” the congressman said. “I spoke to Attorney General Pam Bondi the other day. I’m very thankful for the work she’s doing. She wanted to make sure the FBI was getting involved in this at a very serious level, and says they are.”
Local police, too, are looking into the incident. Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, Police Chief Kyle Teynor told Wisconsin Public Radio last week that his officers verified the family’s safety and “provided them with assurances that our staff was aware of the threats, the ongoing investigation into the validity of the threat and our ability to facilitate their continued safe residency within our city.”
The two-term congressman, who spent 26 years as a Navy SEAL Senior Chief and served multiple combat tours, said it’s a sad commentary on the volatile state of U.S. politics that his family is in more danger now than when he was “hunting, chasing down, and killing terrorists as a Navy Seal.”
“And it’s because I’m a Republican in Congress, that’s why,” Van Orden said in the radio interview.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
The left and Democrats in America are very dangerous group as a whole. They are hateful and have very little control over their emotions. You see this everyday on social media and on television.
Identify the individuals. Threaten and/or eliminate.
This won’t stop until severe punishment is applied.
The left is out there on TV, print, and on the streets ramping up hate and violence. This summer is bound to get dangerous.
+ 💯
I can already envision a scenario that ICE has to use deadly force against a criminal and Jorge Floyd 2 erupts.
Never relax around the lunatic Left!
It’s time for the right side of America to start kicking the asses of the snot-nosed, little far lefties. They’ve been asking for a good ass whoopin’ for a long time. All the “F” bomb dropping, Molotov cocktail throwing, private property destroying, old lady and elderly couples stomping to cease. Those barbarian bass turds are way out of control. If the government can’t control their brats, We the People will.
The congressmen who have called for violence against Conservatives and Republicans need to be brought to heel. THEY should be held criminally and financially liable for any injuries, destruction and deaths THEY have instructed their followers to participate in.
Long prison terms would be appropriate.
The rodents have slipped into the end stage of TDS which is Ameriphobia the hatred of everything American. It will eventually kill people, but they won’t care because they will be doings Satan’s work.
I still don’t know what they are so mad about.
Democrats get more disgusting, vile and hateful by the day—encouraged and cheered on by Hollywood and the MSM.
Sexual deviants and marxists take it very personally when others refuse to affirm their fantasies.
It isn’t good enough for them to get tolerance, they want praise and acceptance and complete submission.
I haven’t ever heard of any democrat leftist congress people receiving threats like this...
See my tagline.
L
It is their complete self-loathing., At some level they realize that they and their lives are worthless and caustic to civility. Most are not strong enough to eliminate themselves so they lash out in hate, anger and insanity.
Carry, periodically go to the range and be alert.
Methinks that open conflict is coming. No choice, that collection of ‘tards has no other option, given that none of their ideas has ever worked, or ever will.
They don’t need a reason.
They lost the election.
They lost the House.
They lost the Senate.
It’s Monday......................
