From a profile piece on The Daily Caller Van Irion explains why he carries a pitchfork to campaign events:
Where Van Irion goes, so does his pitchfork.Anyone willing to clean the manure out of the Capitol and bring a lawsuit against ObamaCare has my support.
The Republican congressional candidate — and avid Tea Party supporter — running for east Tennessee’s 3rd District seat keeps the farm tool at his side, whether he’s giving speeches or glad handling constituents, as a reminder of what his candidacy is about. Irion, 42, practices civil law in Knoxville and is hardly a Tennessee farmer, but he said his campaign prop “represents the angry mob.”
“In these parts farmers use pitchforks to clean their manure out of their stalls,” he explained during an interview with The Daily Caller. “And I tell people everywhere I go that I’m gonna take the pitchfork to the House floor and clean the manure out of the Capitol.”
