GOP Rep Knocks Idea Of Stefanik Replacing Cheney To Lead Conference | Talking Points Memo

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) on Tuesday bashed Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), after the New York Republican gained endorsements from House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) to replace Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) as conference chair.

He criticizes Liz Cheney in that she “has been looking backwards?” Really?? That his hilarious given Donnie’s sole complaints about the election being stolen. What a load of sh_t!

Not craycray enough for the rep from Stumblebum, TX. Incidentally, his district is shaped like a jerrycan overfilling a car’s fuel door with lots of splashback. Mandered to fuck voters in both San Antonio and Austin.

Say again, Roy? You got your ass kicked in '18 because of moderate Republicans? That is an intriguing theory.

“Let us contemplate the message Republican leadership is about to send by rushing to coronate a spokesperson whose voting record embodies much of what led to the 2018 ass-kicking we received by Democrats,” Roy wrote.

That’s why you lost? Are you sure it didn’t have anything to do with this buffoon?

The Texas Republican, however, did not come to Cheney’s defense, saying that the third-ranking Republican “has been looking backwards” for criticizing former President Trump after she voted to impeach the former president for “incitement of insurrection.”

After declaring that he will vote to “recall” Cheney during the House Republican Conference’s vote on Wednesday to oust Cheney as its chair, Roy took aim at Stefanik for her past moderate record.

“Let us contemplate the message Republican leadership is about to send by rushing to coronate a spokesperson whose voting record embodies much of what led to the 2018 ass-kicking we received by Democrats,” Roy wrote.

Chip Roy: “Looking backwards is fine for me, but not for thee.”

(On a side note, there’s something awfully backwards looking about Chip Roy.)

He might as well come straight with it and say it out loud , “Kevin, you picked the wrong token.”

Then we can all share a laugh when they turn out to be 90% R moron districts.

Stefanik’s district in New York is not real moderate. She tilted from a Koch-bought rep to a Trump owned rep, in part, as a response to what her district was showing–heavy Trump nonsense.

Yup. Our little slice of blue heaven in San Antonio was whacked off for this idiot. He’s even worse than Lamar Smith.

These idiots won’t be happy until they put Boebert or MTG into leadership. And that would be McCarthy’s nightmare come to life. It’s clear he has absolutely no control over his caucus and no natural allies within the Republican House. He’s a dead man walking.

With the rise of the Trumpublican Party, he didn’t take the leadership. It was given to him by default. Boehner and Ryan played the game where someone says, “Whoever wants to be captain, step forward,” and they both took two big steps back. McCarthy was too inept to realize he was left out front, alone.

McCarthy is too stupid to realize much of anything useful, much less how to govern in a great nation.

I found an interactive map of that. I can follow each neighborhood I think of as obnoxious money, belligerently conservative and very white and the map flows right along. Incredibly bespoke. It is interesting that it also grabs most the the S. TX. Medical Center. No surprise it is anchored in Terrell Hills and Alamo Heights, hooks over in to Castle Hills and heads north.
