>This lying gook

There may be a regional slang term in your area meaning something else, but irt's known as a slur. And, it doesn't make a difference that Van Orden is white.

4. Looks like typo if kook to me...

Just saying. Know one is a slur and easy to miss a typo.

But hopefully they come back and fix.

2. LOL what happened

Yesterday it was the Dems fault … but now that won’t fly ?

Wisconsin Republican U.S. Rep. Derrick Van Orden, though, struck a different tone.

He said Democrats, including his likely 2026 opponent, were "culpable" in Kirk's death, claimed Democrats "hate God" and said the shooting "is the reason I will be at war for the next 20 (years)," adding: "I will not allow these leftist scumbags to take my country."

"I am not sure that you understand what you and your horrible people have done," he said in one post to X responding to the firing of an MSNBC commentator for remarks about the assassination. "Gloves Are Off you (expletive) mayonnaise person."
