Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) is widely expected to be elected House GOP conference chair, but Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) who announced a challenge on Thursday is highlighting his conservative voting record as among his qualifications for the role.
“Can’t imagine Republican House Members would go with Chip Roy — he has not done a great job, and will probably be successfully primaried in his own district,” Trump said in a statement. “I support Elise, by far, over Chip!”
Stick a fork in Chip because he’s done.
Here’s the sore loser again. Trying to kill the nessenger.
Pro tip to Trump: More people voted for Biden.
Trying to distinguish one crazy repug from another based on voting record is “pickin’ gnat shit outta peppa.”
A vote for personality over policy says everything about how the Republicans have become a post-policy party.
What is T****'s beef with Roy? Just hasn’t promoted the Big Lie? Or is there more?
If for any reason this year’s Miss Insurrection cannot perform her duties….
Will T****'s rebuke result in one cowed Chip?
Yep, and I just checked out his district. It’s R+5 and one that has been trending purple. It will likely flip in the next cycle or two. So, yeah, Donnie, go ahead and send in a hard right wing challenger who’ll probably beat Roy and lose the seat.
He voted to certify the election. That’s it.
Honestly, I would be surprised if Trump remembers who Chip Roy is. It could be something as simple as he thinks Chip is a stupid name.
“Not in congress”? They passed that stupid tax cut like four years ago. How is someone who wasn’t in congress four years ago a plausible pick for the conference chair?
He does seem to be very proud of all the things he hasn’t done.
Stefanik got lots of TV Time defending El Trumpo during Impeachment Hearing !
Donny watched constantly, and he’s lusty.
Wow.
He’s plausible because 2 days ago he said that “The United States must stand fully and unequivocally behind Israel” so that gets him the support of Dobson and Hagge and the rest of the fundies.
Yes it will and one day a flower will blossom in that turd.
Missing from the graphic however, is what has appeared to become a core credential for the No. 3 role: support for Trump’s election lie.
Stefanik had objected to the final certification of Electoral College votes in some states challenged by Trump loyalists on Jan. 6, while Roy voted to certify the election.
I’m quite sure that whoever discovered this little tidbit is a woman, because…
I don’t like his chances, but personally, I hope he gets it. I’d much prefer him to Stefanik.
His vote to certify the election shows that he’s got some respect for democratic principles, even if he’s on the wrong side of everything. I’d much prefer a right-winger with some principles to a “moderate” with none.
