House Republican lawmakers applauded former Vice President Mike Pence for his actions on Jan. 6, 2021, giving him a warm reception as he spoke to members of the conservative Republican Study Committee on Capitol Hill on Wednesday. Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) thanked Pence for showing courage that day, sources in the room said. “He was congratulated for showing the courage that he did on January 6, and frankly, everyone in the room clapped, myself included,” said Rep.

Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and other Republican House members will inspect the invasion on the Southern Border on Monday. The Republican delegation will travel to Eagle Pass, Texas, and meet with U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Texas National Guard, Fox News reported.

Former acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal said Friday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that the “rot” that led to the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, was not just from former President Donald Trump but other leaders who should be investigated by the Department of Justice. Guest-host anchor Jason Johnson said, “We’re starting to see more incriminating evidence leak out. We’re seeing just how deep the plan to steal the election of 2020 was. Newly revealed text messages obtained by CNN show Senator Mike Lee and Congressman Chip Roy going right to Mark Meadows in full support of the claims of...

Congressman Chip Roy from Texas went on Fox News to offer some insights about Covid-19. He started off, as so many politicians have been doing recently, by framing the conversation around Ukraine and Russia. “The simple reality is as we are looking at what’s happening in Ukraine, and our hearts go out, and we’re trying to help,” he said. “I was on the phone all day today helping people, orphanages, people that are dealing with the ravages of what Putin is doing to those people.” So far, that sounds like what pretty much every politician in DC is saying about...

Four Senate Republicans failed to show up to vote on an amendment that would have defunded President Biden’s remaining vaccine mandates, thus ensuring its failure. The Senate voted on Sen. Mike Lee’s (R-UT) amendment to the continuing resolution (CR), which would defund Biden’s remaining vaccine mandates. The measure failed 46-47, with Sens. Mitt Romney (R-UT), Jim Inhofe (R-OK), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Richard Burr (R-NC) failing to show up, depriving Senate Republicans a potential majority to pass the amendment to the CR. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) set the vote threshold to a majority, and it remains possible that...

On Saturday, the first phase of Washington D.C.'s vaccine mandate for most indoor establishments went into effect, as patrons were required to show that they had received at least one vaccine, along with their ID to prove they are the vaccinated person. Saturday coverage from Antonio Olivo with The Washington Post noted that "District vaccine mandate garners mixed reactions and awkward searches for proof of doses." Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), who has vocally stood against vaccine and mask mandates, is refusing to partake and has met with other members of Congress to discuss alternatives, which has thus far included patronizing...

Chip Roy, R-Texas chastised the White House's efforts to advance the Democrats' sweeping voting rights legislation on Monday, calling it an "assault" on the U.S. election system and a "threat" to democracy at large.

PROTECT WIVES, DAUGHTERS AND CHILDREN PROJECT: NDAA FY 2022 is now law without the provision requiring all females from age 18 to 26 to register for Selective Service. Thank the Lord. Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX-31) said that there was a massive grassroots surge against the provision. But there will be NDAA FY 2023, 2024, 2025, and on and on. The anti-family forces will not stop. We will not wait until late in 2022 to keep any "draft our daughters" provision out of NDAA FY 2023. The BAPTIST COMMITTEE OF CORRESPONDENCE (BCoC) is part of the grassroots that Rep. Roy spoke...

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,...

In an effort to combat the supply chain crisis and the rise of China’s economic influence, Rep. Chip Roy is introducing a bill to incentivize companies to bring their manufacturing back to the United States. The BEAT CHINA Act — introduced on Wednesday — looks to push manufacturers producing goods abroad to move to the US by providing tax advantages to eligible companies. Under the legislation, non-residential property purchases made by companies that shift their operations domestically would be “considered 20-year property instead of 39-year property,” which would make them eligible for full and immediate expensing. The bill would also...

Looks like Rep. Roy is the only one who contacted HHS regarding they're "take-over" of Monoclonal antibody distribution. Wanted to contact to support him but am not in his state.

Texas Rep. Chip Roy is calling for the impeachment of both President Biden and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over their response to the flow of illegal immigrants across the southern border over the past six months. "Over the past several months, President Biden and Secretary Mayorkas have blatantly and consistently refused to do their constitutional duty to take care that the immigration laws be faithfully executed, as required by Article II, endangering countless American and foreign lives in the process," Roy told Fox News Tuesday. After conservative radio host Jesse Kelly described the border crisis as "more impeachable than...

As Democrats and Republicans ready themselves for 2022 midterm elections, some GOP congressmembers are facing a steeper-than-usual uphill battle, despite consistently-conservative voting records and reports of caucus-wide respect. The punishing variable? Criticism of former President Donald Trump, however slight. Texas Rep. Chip Roy, a Republican with values largely in touch with his GOP base, denounces President Biden's administration every chance he gets. He supported the recent outster of Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) from her position in House leadership, and decries the Equality Act. Yet he may still lose primary support among voters following his Jan. 6 vote to certify the...

Appearing Friday on The Todd Starnes Show, Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) hinted that Republicans could launch a review of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s handling of the coronavirus, including a possible criminal investigation. A transcript is as follows: TODD STARNES: You were one of the guys who helped launch the viral hashtag #FireFauci. Congressman, these emails that are coming out, what do you make of these? We talking about criminal behavior here? REP. CHIP ROY: As a former federal prosecutor, I like to dive into this stuff with that mindset before I make an allegation of criminal activity, but here’s what I...

Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) on Tuesday argued that Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) is the wrong choice to fill Rep. Liz Cheney's (R-Wyo.) leadership position and lacks a conservative enough voting record to represent the House GOP conference. Roy, a member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, pointed to Stefanik's past votes against the 2017 tax cut law and in support of Democratic bills to end former President Trump's emergency declaration to fund a border wall, keep the U.S. in the Paris climate pact, and ban discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Installing someone like Stefanik in GOP leadership,...

The markup procedure for bills in either house of Congress isn't normally a place for heated debate, but Tuesday was an exception. According to Fox News, the occasion was the markup of several bills before the House Judiciary Committee, the most high-profile of which was the “COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act.” The discussion comes despite a Democratic expenditure binge and a counter concern for the majority party, the disturbing language by some of its members about law enforcement. During his comments in session, Republican Rep. Chip Roy of Texas took issue with both. After another member pointed out that no services...

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) introduced a bill on Tuesday to have the Department of Veterans Affairs establish a pilot program that will create "veteran health savings accounts to allow veterans to receive primary care furnished under non-Department direct primary care service arrangements." Cosponsors of the bill include Republican Reps. Madison Cawthorn (TX), Ted Budd (NC), John Curtis (UT), and Pete Sessions (TX). In essence, the bill, titled "The Veterans Access to Direct Primary Care Act," aims to give veterans more options to seek healthcare outside the VA system, as it is known to be bogged down by extended wait times...

Members of the Republican Freedom Caucus said they oppose the Democrats’ Equality Act because the legislation goes against the liberties outlined in the U.S. Constitution and would give the federal government the power to dictate how American think and act regarding gender and sex, infringing on citizens’ religious rights. “This body being led by Democrats is trampling on the rights of the American people in the name of equality, in the false name of equality,” said Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) at a Freedom Caucus press conference on Thursday. The Freedom Caucus is a group of conservative representatives that say they...
