GOP congressman admits his party wants 'chaos and inability to get stuff done': leaked video

[Soph0571]

Newly leaked video footage of a recent event hosted by the right-wing group Patriot Voices shows Republican Rep. Chip Roy of Texas openly admitting that his party wants "18 more months of chaos and the inability to get stuff done" as President Joe Biden, a bipartisan group of senators, and congressional Democrats work to pass climate and infrastructure legislation.

"Honestly, right now, for the next 18 months, our job is to do everything we can to slow all of that down to get to December of 2022," Roy says in the clip, referring to the month after that year's midterm elections. Republicans need to flip just a handful of seats to take back the House and Senate.

"I don't vote for anything in the House of Representatives right now," Roy says in response to an audience member's question about the sweeping infrastructure and safety-net package that Democrats are planning to pass unilaterally alongside a White House-backed bipartisan deal.

Emphasis mine

Saying the quiet bit out loud is the new norm with these nasty wankers. His electorate cannot expect him to do his actual job as a lawmaker - that would be outrageous! 👀

1. And republicans don't care about their . . ..

constituents' health and welfare neither.

2. That should be part of his Democratic opponent's campaign videos

3. Yes, and I certainly hope it nudges any Dems not fully committed to 'going it alone' and

pushing forward to climb on board!

4. The constituents of this asshole suffers....

While he opposes everything that will improve their lives.

Let Democrats running for Congress spell it out that Republicans care only for power. There was this revolution in France in the 1790's because the Aristocracy and Louis XVI couldn't care less about the people and their sufferings.

History repeating itself, but the stakes are higher now.
