Outgoing controversial lawmaker joins fellow lawmaker in frustrations with the national Republican Party. Also he took aim at the Democrats who a scrambling for power.
Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) who ran for Texas Attorney General lost to Mayes Middleton.
Middleton eventually lost to Democratic opponent Nathan Johnson was not happy about his party being wiped out.
He basically said they fucking blew it.
He said that picking outgoing Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton as the Republican nominee for the Senate over a seasoned outgoing Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) falls directly on Sen. John Thune (R-SD) and President Donald J. Trump.
The so called member of the Freedom Caucus and Anti-Sharia Caucus said that the president’s push to redistrict states he won was a huge distraction.
In what could mark his final speech before the body, the Texas Republican accused his party of “trying to focus on political power” instead of acting in the best interests of their constituents.
“It pisses me off,” he said. “The arrogance of the powers that be, the masters of the universe who tell you that that’s what you have to do. And when you pursue political power over the people, you lose, and that’s what happened.”
Following the GOP’s losses last week, Roy has publicly aired his grievances with the direction his party took in these elections.
The same guy who enjoys people losing their health insurance, food subsidies and veterans benefits complaining about not focusing on the Americans is quite ironic.
He has the audacity to dial up the rage on his party when fully on board with the One Big Beautiful Act, the Iran War and the repealing of the Affordable Care Act.
Specifically, the Republican reupped his criticism of his party’s decision to back Paxton against Cornyn in the state’s GOP primary.
Paxton, who was ultimately defeated in the general election by James Talarico, faced a series of controversies related to his past conduct. He was impeached by the Texas House of Representatives for alleged inappropriate favors done for donors, then later acquitted by the state Senate.
“Somebody tell me why Republicans lost last Tuesday, I’ll say it’s because they were focused on themselves and the ruling class and not the people,” Cornyn said, after referencing Paxton’s campaign. “The founders gave us a system that does put the people first, and when politicians forget that, they rightly get sent home.”
The Paxton loss carried to Greg Abbott. The three term governor was defeated by Gina Hinojosa in a crushing defeat. His last elections were blowouts.
The Texas Republican also cautioned Democrats who are celebrating their wins in last week’s elections.
“The people right now are not in love with either party,” he said. “Democrats who right now think they’re all fired up that they’re on some sort of wave, no sir.”
He is right. The Democratic Party already having problems. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) couldn't muster eleven votes to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The members were at other venues. One of them, Rep. Haley Stevens (I-MI) went into hiding post elections after her infamous endorsement of losing candidate Mike Rogers over winner Abdul El-Sayed.
Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) is challenging Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) over his past controversies. Angie Nixon, the former Democratic senate candidate from Florida has called for a full removal of all Democrats tied to Israeli interests and corporate interests.
Roy is signaling that the Republican who remain in the House better get their priorities straight.
“Republicans who think they’ve got all the answers, ‘Oh, if we’d have just not done Iran, man, we were just sailing along.’ No,” Roy continued. “It’s the people who are tired of seeing corporate crony government interests steamroll their way of life, steamroll their community.”
Roy, who has urged Congress to stay in session until Jan. 3, called on his party to push forward its legislative priorities in their remaining time in power, including a congressional stock trading ban, border security and a reconciliation package.
“These are the things that people sent us here to do and more, again all designed to try to preserve and protect our great country, to actually secure it,” Roy said.
