His response was far from diplomatic.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWake the f*** up you little s***s,\u201d \u200cVan Orden exclaimed.\u200c \u201cWhat the f*** are you \u200dall doing?

You jacka**es, \u2063get out.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Unsurprisingly, Van \u2062Orden&#8217;s \u2062<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gop-congressman-defends-unloading-on-senate-pages-lying-on-capitol-rotunda-floor-slams-schumer\/\" title=\"GOP Congressman defends confronting Senate pages lying on Capitol Rotunda floor, criticizes Schumer.\">remarks drew condemnation<\/a> from \u200bSenate \u2064Majority\u200d Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).<\/p>\n<h3>Van Orden Stands Firm<\/h3>\n<p>Despite the \u200cbacklash,\u2063 Van \u2063Orden \u2063refused to apologize for his\u200c outburst. \u200cIn fact, \u200dhe doubled down \u200don his stance in\u200d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/donald-trump-arrested-georgia-grand-jury-selected-to-weigh-third-indictment-over-2020-election\/\" title=\"Georgia grand jury chosen to consider third indictment against Donald Trump for 2020 election.\">subsequent media interviews<\/a>, explaining why the pages&#8217; actions had infuriated him.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe Capitol Rotunda served as\u200c a field hospital \u2064where countless Union soldiers died fighting to free \u2064men in the Civil War,\u201d Van Orden stated. \u201cI \u200bhave\u200b long said our nation\u2019s Capitol is a symbol of\u200c the sacrifice our servicemen and women have \u2064made for this\u200d country and should never\u2062 be treated like\u2063 a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rep-derrick-van-orden-on-defense-after-cursing-at-teenage-senate-pages-i-dont-give-a-f-who-you-are-get-out\/\" title=\"Rep.

Threatening a congressman with bad\u2064 press to excuse \u2064poor behavior is a reminder of everything that\u2019s wrong with \u200bWashington. Luckily, bad press has never bothered me and if it\u2019s the price I pay to\u200c stand up for what\u2019s right, then \u2063so be it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Van Orden&#8217;s refusal to apologize only fueled \u2063the fire, \u200dwith Schumer\u200d expressing shock at\u200b his lack of remorse.\u2063 However, Van Orden&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republican-congressman-unloads-on-teenage-senate-pages-laying-on-capitol-rotunda-floor\/\" title=\"GOP Congressman Criticizes Teen Senate Pages Resting on Capitol Rotunda Floor\">spokesperson fired back<\/a>, suggesting that Schumer should think\u2064 twice before\u200c criticizing others.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChuck\u2062 Schumer is a lifelong political \u2063hack who never \u2063resists an opportunity to insert himself in front of a camera. When will Schumer hold his own party to the same standard?\u201d said National Republican Congressional Committee spokesperson Jack Pandol.<\/p>\n<p>This is not the first time Van Orden has courted controversy. In 2021, \u200bhe made\u2062 headlines for complaining about a display of \u200dbooks about homosexuality in a \u2063library during Pride Month. He \u2063accused the books of being propaganda and checked out every book from the \u200ddisplay to prevent others from seeing them.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1690455510071000&#038;usg=AOvVaw0zc8zwWGoXeRzcNJLiJVWI\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
