Chip is a moron.
Republicans are only conservative when they aren't in the oval office. I learned that 40 years. Conservatism isn't real it's an excuse to vote no when democrats want something.
Sanity when the hell does his entire political philosophy ever say sanity?
A republican against everything makes a lot of sense. He voted for Mike Johnson who can only say he managed to stop a government shutdown. This guy has introduced 0 bills, his voting block in his county is a lock until the next census, and with nothing to offer he can go to Congress.
Don't get me started on his math. Reagan blew up the deficit above a trillion dollars. President HW Bush raised taxes as did President Clinton. Take a simple economic course and you'll know why the national debt blew up.
Rep. Roy's simply got it wrong. The way to fiscal conservancy isn't through legislative terrorism (a term a past Speaker of the House uses to describe the Chaos Caucus of which Roy is a part). It's irresponsible to threat government shutdowns because he and his cohort aren't getting their way. Taking your ball and going home is a grade school tactic that has no place in Congress.
As for Roy's whining about the National Debt, he came to Congress in 2019. He voted with Trump while $8 trillion was added to the Debt; a 25% increase, more than any previous President in history (either in amount, percentage increase, or percentage of GDP). These are the facts.
And, don't you even start with the "open borders" BS. Trump ordered you and your cronies to kill the Senate bipartisan immigration reform bill. So, again, if you're genuinely concerned with state of our borders, you know what to do!
Attempting extortion by tying Ukraine funding to that of Israel, as well as, once again (broken record), border security is inexcusable. Roy and his cronies now have the blood of Ukrainians on their hands.
Paying 43% between federal and state is insane.. cut goverment spending and let the people keep there money. I mean really… I don’t even get dental coverage paying all this tax but I fund some dump war in Eastern Europe and the Middle East fuck off
What a phucking lame ass interview from Tapper. Why doesn’t he just join Fox.
No question on Lankford? Really Jake.
What happened to Jake Tapper pushing back. Did Jake get neutered
All thr Republicans do is cry 😢
Pathetic and lazy journalism! Instead of focusing on policy, he cares about personality and drama. All nonsense.
I hate the extremist, far right, far left, extreme anything. That being said this is what is wrong with the country and congress is catering to them to the point where a lot of republicans and democrats whom are extremist are in congress. Congress is catering to extremist for votes because the elections are so close. Huge mistake. I agree with Chop Roy and I'm not a Republican but I can't vote for THIS republican congress.
EDIT: Nor The current Democrat congress or President from either side. I'll waste my vote on RFK Jr if that's what it takes and I do like his policies. He is somewhere in the middle as most of us are. We need to all get back to the center more and quit letting the far right and left control policies for the majority of us whom are in fact moderates.
This gop lunatic is ridiculous. What a loser
Chip Roy: Village Idiot of the Year!! Listen to his nonsense. Do ur job. Bi-partisan negotiations. He is a fool. I’m a registered republican
Don’t be surprised if Dark Brandon declares an emergency for that Baltimore bridge.
Well Mr Roy why not resign since the gop is so useless.
Sanity and the GOP parted ways a long, long time ago.
Another terrible job from Jake. Come on Jake my God.
Why so hot to fund Israel and not Ukraine which needs the money more urgently?
Don’t talk about debt when you give corporations tax cuts, conman republican
On one side of his mouth, he claims that spending is out of control. On the other side of his mouth, he says Israel should get all our money immediately, no questions to ask, period point blank.
Why doesn't anyone push back?
And why doesn't anyone explain how the fucking border bill was supposed to work, instead of letting the incorrect narrative of "they're going to let 5,000 people in everyday" which is simply not true.
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
And he’s considered a better one republican party with have the start from the ground up on November 6th of course they’re need a 2 week break first
Spend more money, but our border is still open! Blue like usual…. America LAST!
Chip still doesn't get it. Still deflecting the truth.That Trump's crimes and January 6 is the reason for the chaos in our government
Oh please, Chip, get a clue. Trump is the big "spender" here. His massive tax cuts helped almost nobody, and your party allowed that to happen. You're completely out of touch with the people.
Sanity, Chip? Have you LOOKED at your party?
I'm from texas and you don't speak for me traitor.
Curious who the next speaker of the house will be im sure jockstrap jim jordan will try again i hope its mtg and reallu watch the chaos unfold.
Chip says absolutely nothing yet his lips are moving. 'I don't want to get into'…and Chip delivers zero.
Repeated republican tax cuts for their rich financiers in the donor class have sold working americans into eternal interest only debt slavery with the same rich donors owning the interest bearing debt. LTEC
Chip Roy stood on the house floor and complained and cried that his party does nothing on policy and yet he turns around and votes no on this very conservative bill. What a schmuck!
