On Sunday, the Milwaukee-based news talk program UpFront interviewed Rep Drunken Van Orden, who is desperate for any coverage and airtime he can get while he’s trying to save his butt in next year’s election.
After a few minutes of DVO purposely trying to confuse health care coverage with health care provision, DVO even went so far as to blame the Democrats and the shutdown for a health care system in Western Wisconsin closing down and women having to go to Minnesota to give birth to their children. He must have had a blackout all the times people said that this would happen if they passed the OBBB, of which DVO is so proud of getting passed.
Then they asked DVO about Marjorie Taylor Greene and her criticism of her fellow Republicans for refusing to act on the Obamacare subsidies. You can just see DVO shut down and put up a wall when asked about this:
UPFRONT: Congressman, what do you make of Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, obviously a Republican, a member of your party, attacking Republicans, as she says, for not addressing rising health care costs?
VAN ORDEN: You know what? Marjorie and I are very cordial together. We disagree on several different things.
UPFRONT: Is this one of them?
VAN ORDEN: Listen, Marjorie and I are friends, and we disagree on a lot of different policy issues.
UPFRONT: And so, the attacks that she’s making on Republican leaders for not addressing rising health care costs, what do you make of that?
VAN ORDEN: That’s Marjorie’s opinion.
