'Eighteen more months of chaos and the inability to get stuff done. That's what we want.' GOP Rep. Chip Roy of Texas revealed in a video circulating online that he wants to jam Democrats' legislative goals so Republicans can win the 2022 midterms.
In the video posted by Democratic activist Lauren Windsor on Tuesday, Roy was asked specifically about infrastructure negotiations in Congress. "The people who were working to cut the deal, by the way, were not your conservative warriors in the Senate. And so they're cutting a deal, but then Biden, who came out and said, 'We have a deal,' allowed Pelosi to basically kind of step in and go, 'Whoop, no you don't.
"On Wednesday afternoon, Roy responded to coverage of his earlier comments in a statement standing by his remarks, saying he plans to"oppose almost everything that Congress does," and pledging"to fight with every ounce of my being to stop the radical left -- and weak Republicans.
