Rep. Chip Roy: The Vax Mandate 'Is a Test for Republicans - Will They Stand Up and Fight for the American People or Roll Over?'
PJ Media ^ | Dec 02, 2021 | Mark Tapscott

Leave it to a no-nonsense Texan like Rep. Chip Roy to lay out the basic issue confronting Congress — and especially Republican members of the Senate and House of Representatives — as they decide whether to fund President Joe Biden’s multiple vaccine mandates.

***

I have been contending for decades that Republicans in Washington, sooner or later, must make up their minds: Are they going to walk the walk of limited government, individual freedom, and constitutional republicanism with their votes on the floor of Congress, or are they just going to talk it in fundraising appeals and on Fox News, Newsmax, and OAN?

Here’s just a sample of Roy’s observations:

***

The question really becomes: why would we fund bureaucrats to go after our constituents?

It ought to be up to [the American people] and their doctors, not the president, not bureaucrats in Washington. So, why would we fund that?

Dr. Fauci isn’t telling the truth when he said that some of the folks [at the border] are being tested… The truth is, [migrants] are being captured inland on ranches. They’re then put together, often shoved into vehicles, and they’re only tested if they’ve got symptoms. The fact is we don’t have any real testing operation going on at the border.

This is about the government exercising control over the people, and that’s not necessary here. I don’t think we should fund the government in doing that. This is a test for Republicans. Will they stand up and fight for the American people or roll over?

" Will They Stand Up and Fight"

Absurd question that flies in the face of decades of GOP surrender-monkey history...
