It’s not a deep, dark secret that Rep. Drunken Van Orden has been making a lot of bad decisions and is continuing to make them today. He is in complete support of President Elmo scorched earth approach to government, even if it’s on things he holds near and dear, like farmers aid or veterans’ benefits. But he does not support these attacks on the people enough to face his constituents and defend them.
So, when a local TV station news reporter caught up to him, DVO got quite testy and agitated. When asked about the cuts to veterans’ services, he came out with this noise:
“I spoke to Karen, who runs the Tomah facility, two weeks ago, and right now to the best of her knowledge there is zero degradation to veteran’s health care. What I need you to do is stop fear mongering. Stop fear mongering with our elderly. Stop fear mongering with our hungry children. Stop fear mongering with out veterans,” said Rep. Van Orden. “The Democrat party lied to the entire American population two years about cuts. And they’re doing the same thing again. So, knock it off.”
First of all, the workers had fired just before that, so the timing renders his statement meaningless. Secondly, with his reputation for drunk raging, who would want to tell him anything but what he wants to hear?
