GOP rep calls Gaetz a ‘little -‑‑‑‑’ after McCarthy exchange
The Hill ^ | 07/17/2024 | LAUREN SFORZA

Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-Wis.) appeared to call Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) a “little b‑‑‑‑” after an awkward exchange with former Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) at the Republican National Convention.

Gaetz taunted McCarthy on the floor of the convention on Tuesday night, telling the former speaker that he would “get booed off the stage” if he were to speak at the event. Van Orden reacted to a clip of the exchange on social media platform X, where he pushed back on a description of the incident that said Gaetz needed to be “physically held back” by security.

“I just saw this. Tubby did not need to ‘physically held back’ he pulled a ‘Hold me back bro’ move to look like a tough guy because he is in fact, is a little bi—-,” Van Orden wrote on X.

What…RINOs don’t like being mocked? Every one of those pussies should be mocked day and night until they leave the party. It’s because of these limp wristed sodomite approving RINOs that we loose perpetually. I hope they start crying 😢 like that little faggot Kinzinger

I see the stupid party (the GOP) is at it again.

Can we be unified until November without giving Democrats something to talk about?

Stop acting like 18-year old drama-llamas and take this behind closed doors or shut your mouth. It’s that simple.

What does Van Orden think about McCarthy continuing his war against Gaetz by using the ethics committee to drag up long disproved allegations? Sounds like McCarthy is the b*tch and Van Orden is his p*mp.

As far as I’m concerned we need about 200 Gaetz’s in the House of Representatives and 60 in the Senate.

That would guarantee no RINO’s.

The convention floor during a CNN interview was not the place for Gaetz to get in his face. This was not the place.

Until he joins the Trump administration in 2025...Gaetz better get it out of his system now.

I never heard of this Orden character, but he sounds like a real piece of work. If he is in the Kevin McCarthy camp, then he is a loser. I’ll take Gaetz over McCarthy any day of the week.
