Rep. Van Orden seeks to cut federal funds to Eau Claire over council members' posts following Charlie Kirk’s assassination, calling them condoning violence.
Rep. Derrick Van Orden is pushing legislation to cut federal funding for Eau Claire, Wisconsin, over comments made by two city council members following the assassination of conservative leader Charlie Kirk.
Van Orden claims the remarks condone political violence, threatening to withhold funds from municipalities with employees who celebrate such acts.
The council members have since deleted their posts and clarified their positions.
Eau Claire’s City Council President Emily Berge opposes the move, citing concerns over free speech and the need for unity.
Van Orden’s office says the issue could be resolved if the council members resign or are fired.
