ICYMI: Rep. Roy demands Congress fight vax mandates, defend Americans

WASHINGTON—Wednesday morning, Rep. Roy joined the Ware and Rima show to discuss the fight to defund President Biden's COVID mandates and encourage parents to take back America's school system.

Key quotes from the interview are below and the interview clip is available here:

• "The continuing resolution that funds government will expire on Friday. We believe that we ought to be fighting the funding of the bureaucrats who will enforce these mandates on the American people. So we're fighting that, Mike Lee's fighting it, we've got a number of senators, a whole bunch of congressmen who are saying, 'hey, let's not vote to fund this, and let's not continue to fund the enforcement of the mandates.'"
  
• "Unfortunately, I'm afraid that Mitch McConnell might just, quote, 'process the amendments,' is what he said yesterday. He didn't care about the policies, just wants to process the amendments so we can get on with things. But there's a bunch of us who are trying to fight that, and force Republicans to stand up and actually do what they said they would do, and defend the American people to end these mandates."
  
• "I'm going to call out every Member of Congress, and every member of the Senate, that doesn't fight right now, to end these unconstitutional, unlawful vaccine mandates that are harming the American people."
  
• "It is all built on a mountain of lies. And those lies start all the way at the top of our national health organization's Dr. Fauci, and they've all been spreading these lies for the last two years. It's both an authoritarian complex, and frankly, I think it's political. I have no idea how these individuals can look at themselves in the mirror. I don't know how school board administrators, I don't know how some of the teachers union folks can look at themselves in the mirror. There has been no science from the beginning, that this has been necessary for children. It's been a show from the beginning."
  
• "We've got school boards who don't care about what the parents think. And they don't care about what's in the best interest of the kids. And instead, this is all a power play by teachers' unions. But the good news is the people waking up across the country."
  
• "We need to take all of our school boards back now. We need to make sure that we are getting out on the offense of winning the culture war here. The culture war means standing up for freedom. Don't let these people teach critical race theory, don't let don't let them teach the garbage that America's evil. Don't let them do this stuff, and then have the audacity, some of these teachers look into the camera and they say, 'I don't answer to parents'. Yes, you do answer to parents."
  
• "Let's go out there and reclaim our schools. There are a lot of great public school teachers out there. There are bureaucrats that are holding them down, holding our kids down."
