A MAGA lawmaker got testy with a reporter on Thursday after he was pressed over President Donald Trump's behavior during the dignified transfer of four military service members killed in the Iran war.
MeidasTouch reporter Pablo Manríquez asked Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-WI) to comment on Trump not bowing his head while the dead troops were brought to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, as other leaders were showing reverence to the men and women who had made the ultimate sacrifice.
Van Orden appeared annoyed and seethed over the question.
"You people need to quit politicizing our war dead," he said.
"It’s absolutely disgusting. And you're trying to get clicks by it, and that’s shameful. We’re done," Van Orden said, walking off from the reporter on Capitol Hill.
