GOP Lawmaker Says He Wants 18 Months of ‘Chaos’
July 6, 2021 at 4:47 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard


Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) was caught on a hidden video dismissing any chance of bipartisanship:

“Our job is to do everything we can to slow all of that down to get to December of 2022 and then get in here and lead… 18 more months of chaos and the inability to get stuff done. That’s what we want.

You have to turn out in 2022 for the midterms, folks. If they make gains like they did in the House in 2020, we're screwed.

I have no doubt the rest of them have been saying the same thing, as well. Need to shove it down Manchin's and Sinema's throats, too.

Unlike many of the Republican Reps in Texas, this asshole didn't win by a huge margin. We might be able to win this seat.
