As the House Speaker debacle drags on, Republicans will need all palms on deck since, ironically, they are studying that every single vote matters. And the country requirements the Household Republicans to get their shit collectively quicker than afterwards with the disaster in the Middle East, the war in Ukraine and one more achievable authorities shut down speedy approaching.
Naturally, when his self-proclaimed adore of our country and his supposed management techniques, this would be the ideal time for previous SEAL Agent Derrick Van Orden (DVO) to step up. Or at the very least be existing, even if it is really just as a warm system in the place.
In its place, DVO made a decision it was the great time to go on a junket to Israel:
With the Dwelling paralyzed and Republicans not able to discover a route to electing a chief, Wisconsin freshman Rep. Derrick Van Orden still left Capitol Hill for Israel Thursday evening in what he explained as a reality-locating mission amid Israel’s ongoing war with Hamas.
“After retiring from the navy in 2014, I designed a solemn guarantee to the Jewish persons that if everything like what took place on Oct 7, 2023 have been to at any time materialize, that I would enable them and their country to the most effective of my capacity,” Van Orden, who served as a Navy SEAL for 26 decades, wrote in a lengthy assertion received by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “I am retaining that assure.”
The intent of the excursion, Van Orden stated, is primarily “to witness what has and is taking spot so that I can talk from an informed place” about the violence on the floor in Israel. He arrived in Israel Friday early morning and prepared to check out healthcare facilities and fulfill with citizens and military services and government officers to get “a holistic understanding of the present-day and long term” needs.
Um, great. But what about the solemn oath DVO took to the country and to the individuals of Wisconsin? It appears to be like that should to take priority around a private guarantee he produced to a foreign state..
His fellow Wisconsin Republicans usually are not much too delighted with him possibly:
Scoot Fitzgerald following Jim Jordan dropped his 3rd bid just now suggests of Van Orden:
“I wish he was (here). I’m not certain what the story is. I observed what you described. I tried out contacting him and he did not respond to, so…”

Tom Tiffany on Van Orden’s absence:
“I do imagine the greatest issue we can do correct now for Israel is to vote… The most important matter we can do is get a speaker so that then we can deal with legislative action.”

It’s possible DVO figured that if he found some Palestinian children to yell at, that would resolve the disaster. He seems to be a normal for yelling at youthful people today.
Or maybe, considering that it is really a “fact locating mission,” it’s possible his target is to assess cognac to very good outdated Wisconsin brandy. Phrase is he appreciates all about booze.
