Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) spoke Tuesday on Fox Business Network's “Berney & Company.” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) did not have the votes to retain his position.
“Like many of my colleagues, I remain undecided. We have experienced so many failures over the last year that have limited or inhibited the president's ability to advance his policies,” Roy said. This is because I am concerned that this may happen.”
He added: “We violated the 72-hour rule twice, which means we didn't have time to read the bill.” To crush the 1,500-page monster and reduce it to 100 pages, we had to get Elon and Vivek and the President and JD to come. Still $110 billion remains unspent. ”
Roy added: “I don't think he has a vote on Friday at this point. I think we need to have a meeting so we can come together. People say, Chip, yeah. If not, who would I choose? Mike is a friend, so maybe he can pick up the phone and tell me the agenda and plans. Byron Donald is a good guy and a good friend. I nominated him. Jim Jordan is a good man and a good friend. There are other leadership members in the US who can do the job. What we need to do is unite around the president's plan, but the failures before Christmas cannot be overstated. If we don't organize in a way that allows us to hold a conference for the sake of it, then the failure is clear. We can't bend on what's important. must be reduced.”
