Wisconsin Congressman Curses During White House Briefing, Drops F-bomb on Minnesota Congressman

(Bob Hague, WRN) A Wisconsin congressman is again being accused of inappropriate behavior.

Politico reports that during a Wednesday White House briefing on the Israel/Hamas (huh-MAHS) war, 3rd District Republican Derrick Van Orden cursed directly at the briefers, prompting loud boos in the room. Representative Dean Phillips shouted “shame on you” and Van Orden reportedly dropped an f-bomb on the Minnesota Democrat, who is Jewish.

In a statement, Van Orden did not address the allegations but instead accused the Biden administration of minimizing Iran's role in the Hamas attack. Earlier this year, Senate leaders condemned Van Orden after he reportedly used profanity towards a group of Senate pages in the U.S. Capitol rotunda.
