Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-Wis.) said Thursday on Fox News that now is not the time to attack the Biden administration ― right after reportedly shouting at administration officials in a classified meeting about Israel. (Watch the video below.)
In the interview with Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade, the former Navy SEAL was the picture of magnanimity.
“This is not a time to attack the Biden administration,” Van Orden said. “You know how adamantly I disagree with what they’re doing. But as Republicans and Democrats, as legislators here in the United States of America .. now is the time to stand with the United States of America … to make sure that Israel understands they have our unwavering support.”
The apparent reach across the aisle amid the escalating war between Israel and Hamas caught the attention of observers on X, the former Twitter. However, the moment seemed to come with a hypocritical twist.
