“I was just at multiple events with [Florida Gov.] Ron DeSantis, where he’s shaking their hands and looking them in the eye, while Donald Trump hangs out in his basement in Florida, afraid to actually debate,” Roy said in an interview on CNN’s “The Source,
“If we’d gotten the policies in place, if he had worked with conservatives to get bills passed in 2018, ’19,” Roy said of Trump. “We wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in right now, where Joe Biden is leaving Texas fully exposed to have people running over our Border Patrol agents and our [Department of Public Safety].”
Roy was also pressed a couple of times about Trump’s recent controversial remarks that immigrants were “poisoning the blood” of America, and he said Republicans ought to be approaching the issue with more compassion.

Well there you go, Chip, attacking the obvious Republican nominee on the Communist News Network. We see who you are.
Yup, just look at that coward hiding in his basement.
To be fair, I goggled "Chip Roy Rally" and this came up:
Will you, Chip Roy, now cast your vote for Biden?
Thanks for posting that...I heard that he said something like that, but couldn’t find it...
chip roy looks like he’s a nevertrumper all along.
Let’s see how this would play out.....
“Oh dear!. desanctus supporters should be nice.
desanctimonious would need the Trump supporters, if somehow the rnc or somebody, kept Trump off the ballot.”
Interviewed on CNN…enough said!
Going on CNN or MSNBC is a tell for sure.
Trump brought this direct attack from Chip Roy onto himself when he publicly asked for somebody ‘anybody!’ to primary Roy. Chip Roy is not someone you want as an enemy, if it can be helped. He is not easily intimidated or thrown off target.
Chippy boy just committed political hair-kari, and he’s too stupid to know it.
First, what's Trump's to gain by a debate with Desantis? He already has a 30+ point lead over him. He's not hiding, he just see no reason to.
Second, if he did debate Desantis, he would likely tear him to shreds. But again, what's the significance to Trump of a 30+ point lead or a 50+ point lead?
Trump called for Chip Roy to be primaried after the filing deadline had passed. So it may be “perfectly fair” but it is also completely untenable.
Trump is making his case in front of the people, not to the Corporate Media.
“hangs out in his basement”??
Then who is the Trump impersonater criss-crossing the country giving speeches?
Chip Roy is an idiot trying to get noticed.
Chip Roy hasn’t changed. Trump has. Trump is nastier, slower, older, and extremely jealous. Just yesterday Trump was blubbering on about Roy needing to be primaried, and you all clapped like seals.
Today you are all clutching your pearls when Roy gives it right back and points out that Trump is in his basement, citing bogus polls as his reason for being too chicken to debate, while also obsessively ranting about DeSantis every night online and spending millions on attack ads on him. Ya can’t have it both ways lol.
Trump has zero votes so far so he isn’t leading anything or anyone.
My favorite thing about this campaign is that no one talks about anyone but Trump, no matter which party has them enslaved.
Trump hatred causes people to regress backward toward Kindergarten. It’s a pernicious side-effect.
Trump hangs out in his basement? WTH?
Joe does, we know he puts a “lid” on the day quite often.
But it feels like Trump is flying all over the country and constantly on the go. That statement is just stupid all the way around.
I wouldn’t mind seeing an open and honest debate, but no one knows how to do one anymore, especially on a national scale.
I’m thinking you should stay with The Biden.
“Roy gives it right back and points out that Trump is in his basement...”
Well, does that lying smear bother you that it shows Roy is a liar??
The regular Government Establishment is a heartless beast with no compassion. Its primary purpose is to reap the financial and social benefits of political power. The wants and needs of citizens is only relevant to them in regard to how it affects their primary purpose.
Along comes a populist candidate that might get into high office, and it is no surprise that they will say the nastiest things about them, making stuff up as necessary.
Many of us are sick and tired of being sick and tired of the Establishment doing this. And its reached a breaking point with them doing it to Trump. Its not that people think Trump is the greatest thing since sliced bread, its just that he is the latest populist candidate with the potential of gaining high office and making the actual citizens a priority again. And we are sick and tired of the Establishment treating such threats like dirt. They way they treat Trump is by extension the way they treat us.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You just summed it all up perfectly!! Well said and you mailed it.
chip roy has been out on the campaign trail with desanctimonious, attacking Trump.
That's why chip roy is open for attacks, otherwise, why should Trump be going after chip roy?
