MAGA House Rep: We’re Not Trump’s “Little Bitches”

Raw Story reports:

Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-WI) pushed back hard Wednesday on the notion that Republicans always caved to President Donald Trump’s demands amid mounting pressure from the White House for House Republicans to fall in line in supporting the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.”

“The president of the United States didn’t give us an assignment,” Van Orden said Wednesday, reported Kenzie Nguyen with Punchbowl News. “We’re not a bunch of little bitches around here, okay?”

Van Orden has not voiced any opposition to the Senate version of the bill, and instead congratulated the Senate for passing it with its changes. “I’m a member of Congress,” Orden said Wednesday, speaking with reporters just outside the House chamber. “I represent almost 800,000 Wisconsinites.”

Van Orden, who attended the Capitol riot before being elected, has publicly threatened a constituent for asking about DOGE. In February, he filed to impeach a federal judge who ruled against DOGE. Around 150,000 of Van Orden’s constituents depend on Medicaid.
