Chip Roy trolls GOP colleague over Senate pages confrontation

[riversedge]

Unless the creep Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-Wis.) has apologized this morning, he has NOT done so!!


“TGIF after a rough week, Senate Pages? I got a great photo, how about you?” Chip Roy said on X, formerly Twitter, sharing a photo of himself lying down to take a photo of the Capitol Rotunda ceiling.

Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) had a friendly ribbing for Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-Wis.) on Friday, sharing photos of the Capitol Rotunda ceiling after Van Orden yelled at Senate pages who were resting on the rotunda floor Wednesday night.

“TGIF after a rough week, Senate Pages? I got a great photo, how about you?” Roy said on X, formerly Twitter.

Van Orden found a group of Senate pages — 16- and 17-year-olds who run messages and mail for the Senate — on the floor of the Capitol Rotunda. Pages generally rest in the rotunda when the Senate works late — as it did Wednesday night on National Defense Authorization Act Amendments.

When he saw the scene, he let loose on the teenagers, reportedly calling them “jackasses” and “little s—-.” ................................

Ohhhhh,

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) told reporters Friday that he would talk to Van Orden about the incident.

3. OK, now I'm going to have to like something about Roy

That was good.
Van Orden is a blight and has been cruel to young people before. (For one, attacking library staff over a Pride display.)

Pro tip: next time, DNC, invest in WI-3.

Thank you.

Hoist by his own petard.
Or maybe doppelganger.

Expect more than just 2 stories about this bullying bastard. Chip Roy can try to toss them off with a chuckle.

8. Like, what was he doing

Giving a tour at midnight?

He wasn't mad at them for taking pictures; he was mad at them for being witnesses.
