Derrick Van Orden Will Fall in Line to Make Trump’s Dangerous Agenda a Reality

In a revealing new interview with TIME magazine, Donald Trump gave a preview of what his second term would look like - including abortion bans, prosecuting women who receive abortion care, extending his Tax Scam, pardoning January 6 insurrectionists, and more.

Trump made the case that to fulfill his dangerous agenda he would need a Congress filled with loyal foot soldiers, specifically pleading to House Republicans: "I need allies there when I'm elected."

It's clear Derrick Van Orden would fall in line. He has endorsed Donald Trump and said he's "100% pro-life," even comparing abortion to "genocide."

Van Orden has yet to denounce this radical agenda that would:

  • Empower states to prosecute women who have an abortion.

  • Allow the Life at Conception Act to become the law of the land, which would ban and essentially outlaw abortion and IVF, respectively, nationwide.

  • Extend the Tax Scam that benefited the well-off, well connected and big corporations, leaving middle-class families behind.

  • Pardon every single January 6 insurrectionist who has pleaded guilty or been found guilty by a jury.

  • Permit political violence around an election.

DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
"No matter what he says, Derrick Van Orden will back this dangerous, anti-American agenda because he's already been championing it in Congress."
