Democrats criticized a Republican congressman for seeming to gloat about the negative effects of the GOP’s recently-passed budget megabill.
In a since-deleted post on X, Wisconsin Rep. Derrick Van Orden wrote an emphatic “YES!” in response to a post reading that the legislation meant that “17 million people just lost health care,” “18 million kids just lost school meals,” and “3 million Americans just lost food assistance.”
Van Orden later said his post was intended as a response to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt celebrating the bill’s passage. But many still called him out.
