Chip Roy: Trump ‘hangs out in his basement in Florida, afraid to actually debate’

“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.

Trump was right to go after chip roy...

roy is just parroting desantis, blaming Trump for not getting anything done, instead of ryan or mcconnell, and the rinos.

BTW... so chip roy wants 'compassion' shown to the illegal aliens.... I guess he means full welfare benefits, then, since he says 'there are human beings who are suffering'?

This is about a moronic statement when anyone can see for themselves what President Trump is up to daily, and it sure the hell isn't sitting around in his basement like Pedo Jo the vegetable did during the 2020 campaign.

I would expect something that was biting and obvious, not puerile dreck.

Chip Roy first endorsed primarying Trump by endorsing a primary competitor.

It becomes perfectly fair by Trump to say Chip Roy should be primaried.

I really like Chip Roy, but his criticism of Trump for not participating in these “debates” make no sense. Trump is crushing everyone, his positions are well-known, and he has nothing to gain.

Chip Roy is just another lawyer-turned-politician who seems to have never worked a real job in his life. No wonder he’s a supporter of Ron DeSantis.

Exactly. In addition, the GOP debates are set up to make all participants look like stupid fool thanks to the McRomney idiot who runs the GOP.

Keep talking moron. A real Conservative will primary you, and knock that “chip” off your shoulder.

Don’t blame anything on Roy. Blame the voters if the 21st District in Texas. They’re the ones that sent this clown to DC and probably will again.

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.

Chip Roy supports DeSantis, both are, along with the other Republican presidential candidates, nothing more than Keebler Elves.

Last basement I saw in South Florida was the dungeon in Abbot and Costello meet Frankenstein.
Growing up in Florida, I could never figure out how they built a Dungeon under a castle in the Keys.

My Bad, the castle was on a mountain in the keys.

All of the mountains in the keys sank in the great Florida Earthquake of 1950. Go Hollywood.

“””“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,””””


Chip Roy is digging his ‘never-trump’ and ‘never MAGA’ hole really deep with this appearance on CNN.

I find it interesting that Chip Roy and others like him go to CNN or MSNBC when they get outed.
