Van Orden received the most backlash for his aggressive chastisement of a group of high school-age Senate pages in July 2023. The pages reported that Van Orden swore at them for lying on the floor of the Capitol Rotunda to take a picture of the historic dome ceiling, reportedly calling the teens “jackasses” and “lazy s—-.”
The incident drew bipartisan scolding from Congressional leadership, but Van Orden stood by his behavior. In a statement the following day, he said the Capitol is “a symbol of the sacrifice our servicemen and women have made for this country and should never be treated like a frat house common room.”Related reading
