Representative Derrick Van Orden is upset that protesters are at the Capitol. Don't they know that's only for insurrectionists?!

Representative Derrick Van Orden (DVO), Wisconsin's Drunk Uncle, took a selfie to show protesters on the Capitol grounds. He took quite a bit of umbrage by this:

It was rather surprising to see DVO complaining like that, since he is all for storming the Capitol and trying to equivocate something, since it's something he took part in himself:

Two months after Republican congressional candidate Derrick Van Orden lost his 2020 race, he joined “stop the steal” rioters on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol—and he paid for the trip with donor money left over from his failed campaign.

Now Van Orden is running again, and has already scored major endorsements from senior GOP House leadership, including Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).

Maybe DVO is so upset about it because these protesters weren't white skinned.

Or maybe DVO is just being territorial about it, thinking only domestic terrorists should be allowed to protest and riot at the Capitol.
