Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) is demanding an apology from his fellow Wisconsin Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R) following Van Orden’s outburst at Thursday’s State of the Union address.

The outburst came as Biden spoke critically of former President Trump’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic while addressing the joint session of Congress, arguing that Trump “failed the most basic presidential duty that he owes to the American people: the duty to care.” “Lies!” Van Orden yelled in response.

Pocan released a statement Friday morning, saying Van Orden “continues to embarrass” Wisconsin and Congress. He called on the first-term lawmaker to “formally apologize” to Biden for his outburst.

“It’s one thing to be a Trump fanatic; it’s another when you’re a member of Congress. This constant pattern of unnecessary outbursts, whether it’s teen pages in the Capitol Rotunda or administration officials at a classified briefing, has many of us worried about his temperament and perhaps his soberness,” Pocan said in the statement. Van Orden cursed out a group of teenage Senate pages in the rotunda last summer.
