House Republican has berserk profane meltdown during briefing

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Even as high profile House Republican pieces of crap like Jim Jordan and Steve Scalise battle it out to see who’s going to be the next to fail to become Speaker of the House, lower profile House Republicans are also falling apart at the seams.

You may not have heard of House Republican Derrick Van Orden, but he certainly seems to be trying to make a name for himself. During a White House briefing, Van Orden reportedly went on a tirade against the briefers. It got so bad that one House Democrat tried to interject, at which point Van Orden called that Democrat the F-word.

This is all just getting bizarre. Van Orden was in a bipartisan briefing, and had to know that this kind of inappropriate behavior would end up getting leaked to the media. Yet he totally lost his cool and acted like a clown anyway. Of course Van Orden has a habit of behaving this way; he reportedly cursed out a group of teenage pages awhile back. The Republicans are not sending their best and brightest to the House. Let’s take the majority away from them in 2024.
