“The history of the United States Capitol Rotunda, that during the Civil War it was used as a field hospital and countless Union soldiers died on that floor, and they died because they were fighting the Civil War to end slavery. And I think that place should be treated with a tremendous amount of respect for the dead,” he said.
From Wikipedia:
Van Orden participated in the January 6th “Stop the Steal” rally[6] and was present at the United States Capitol during the January 6 United States Capitol attack.[7][8]
So let me get this straight- sleeping in the rotunda, bad. Smearing shit on the rotunda wall, good.
