Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-WI) compared Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) to an “inflatable sex doll” following his speech at the Republican National Convention .

On Wednesday evening, the Florida lawmaker became the center of attention and mockery due to his appearance at his convention speech.

Some users on social media suggested that Gaetz had recently undergone Botox or other cosmetic procedures.

Van Orden took the accusations to a new level by comparing his fellow Republican colleague to an “inflatable sex doll” via a post made on X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday.

“BREAKING,” Van Orden wrote to his followers in all-caps along with red siren emojis. “RNC debuts first AI powered inflatable sex doll to speak at a national convention.”

Van Orden’s tweet was not the first time the Wisconsin lawmaker has made disparaging statements about Gaetz during the convention.

After Gaetz confronted former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy during an interview on CNN, Van Orden called Gaetz a “little b*tch” for the awkward exchange.
