GOP Rep: “Tubby Matt Gaetz Is A Little Bitch” [VIDEO]

July 17, 2024 Infighting Is Funny, Republicans

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 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 platform X, where he pushed back on a description of the incident that said Gaetz needed to be “physically held back” by security.

Van Orden is best known here for an allegedly drunken and vulgar tirade at teenage interns taking photos in the US Capitol.

Before his election in 2022, Van Orden attended Trump’s “Stop The Steal” rally and was present during the assault on the US Capitol.

In 2021, Van Orden was sentenced to one year of probation for attempting to take a loaded handgun through a TSA checkpoint at the Cedar Rapids airport.

Also in 2021, Van Orden created a “screaming scene” and threatened a teenage employee at an Wisconsin public library over a display of LGBTQ-themed books.

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 bitch. https://t.co/zpfz6HJDGg
