Rep. Chip Roy Criticizes GOP Leadership Over Decision to Pass CR as a Suspension Bill

I WANT MY REPUBLICAN COLLEAGUES TO GIVE ME ONE THING. ONE. THAT I CAN GO CAMPAIGN ON AND SAY WE DID. ONE. ANYBODY SITTING IN THE COMPLEX, IF YOU WANT TO COME DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND COME EXPLAIN TO ME, ONE MATERIAL, MEANINGFUL, SIGNIFICANT THING THE REPUBLICAN MAJORITY HAS DONE BESIDES, WELL, I GUESS IT'S NOT AS BAD AS THE DEMOCRATS.

He also criticizes his party for not sticking to their promises to cut spending and warns that they better do so when the House returns after the Thanksgiving holiday.

Just in case anyone gets the mistaken impression that this rant was righteous or well intentioned based on what OP chose to add in ALL CAPS… It’s not. Chip Roy is still a Republican, after all.

The reason I included it is because it's a perfect sound byte for Democrats to campaign on.

Well then, let’s hope the DNC uses Lemmy.

That's not what I took away from that. The all-caps summary is obviously sarcasm intended in the voice of Chip Roy.

It's a direct quote from Chip Roy. I don't think he meant to highlight the fact that House Republicans have been completely useless, but it's the text I was able to copy from the transcript.

lol you sure about that? Hint: It's a direct quote.

Republicans don't do anything for the voters. They cut taxes for the rich, stop any help for citizens, and stop government for functioning. But lately in the House, Republicans have stopped Republicans from functioning too.

And "not as bad as the democrats" is only true if you are rich or a greedy corporation.

Stop voting for Republicans, they are not in government to help people.
