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—-.” ................................
