Nothing good has ever come out of Texas.
Roy’s response: https://x.com/chiproytx/status/1869840234621612353
“My position is simple – I am not going to raise or suspend the debt ceiling (racking up more debt) without significant & real spending cuts attached to it. I’ve been negotiating to that end. No apologies.”
How much are they adding?
“The very unpopular “Congressman” from Texas, Chip Roy ...”
Not really. In the 2024 election Roy won 61.9% to 35%.
Here’s a thought, how about not spending more than you have. The ceiling is meaningless. Balance a budget like you’re supposed to, and you won’t have to worry about debt.
Trump was a Big Spender in his first term.
Roy is not wrong.
What is he accused of doing exactly?
Jeez, Mr. President, Chip Roy is one of your fearless warriors. You could use another 100 like him in Congress.
Now you know why Trump came after the POS! He has just come out minutes ago saying he will not vote for the new CR Bill. The dirty backstabbing RINO needs to be primaried along with the one eye patch Crenshaw!
If I remember right, he was backing Liz Cheney on that J-6
committee.
The problem is that the GOP simply can’t afford disunity at the moment. The House margin is too thin. Republican reps, both MAGA and RINO alike, are going to have to get on board, follow Trump’s lead and trust that he has the right strategy. I understand standing up to Johnson. But when Trump steps into the leadership vacuum, as he appears to be doing now, the caucus needs to get behind him. The only path to success for House Republicans is through Trump.
This is similar to when Massie was attacked by Trump because he didn’t support the massive covid spending bill.
The debt ceiling is such a dumb “issue”
Chip trying to sound all MAGA when he ain’t. He’s FOS.
Chip also told a rally crowd that Trump needs to look forward and not backward concerning the 2020 election and was booed very loudly.
This was soon after the steal, i lost most of my admiration for him then
Trump went after Roy to send a message.
He sees Roy not just as one vote, but as someone who has influence over others.
No use waiting until the middle innings to play hardball.
Show them you mean business for your term has even started.
Chip Roy is a Bush wonk and a grandstander. Just another political puke.
From Texas:
Lbj and his Vietnam war.
Bush and his Iraq war.
Top that tejanos.
Chip Roy — defender of Liz Cheney and the J6 committee, called Trump’s J6 speech “impeachable conduct,” worked for a “Stop Trump” SuperPAC, and most recently undermined Trump’s push to stop the CR bill being rammed through Congress.
Oh yeah, in in the summer of 2020 he pathetically virtue signaled and said he was impressed by George Floyd’s “life and work.”
This fool needs to be primaried, bigly.
