Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-WI) told the teenagers to “get the fuck out” of the rotunda… The source described Van Orden’s demeanor as “physically aggressive” toward the pages, NBC News reports.
The lawmaker was “screaming inches from the pages’ faces” and “shooed” at them with his hands several times, said the source, who described previously unreported details of Van Orden’s behavior.
The pages, who were 16 and 17 years old, were “visibly shaken,” according to the source.
