Rep. Roy on Breitbart: ‘We have to stand up and fight for the American people’

December 2, 2021

WASHINGTON—On Wednesday, Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21) joined Alex Marlow in an interview with BreitbartNews Daily urging Republicans in Congress to refuse to support funding the government if it continues to wage war on the American people through unconstitutional vaccine mandates and a manmade border crisis.

Full audio is available here and some key quotes are below:

  • Republicans should stand in the way of funding government, even if that means shutdown, if they are not going to remove these onerous vaccine mandates.
  • Should any Republican vote to fund government if the vaccine mandates remain in place, mandating that an American get a jab or lose his or her job, whether they're in defense or whether they're in the private sector or in healthcare? The answer is clearly no. Republicans should stand on that wall for the American people.
  • Our job is to go out here and fight for liberty, to secure the blessing of liberty as it says in the Constitution of the United States. That's my job.
  • We have to stand up and fight for the American people. That's my message to Kevin McCarthy. That's my message to Mitch McConnell… It's our time to lead now and we should demonstrate that.
  • We should not fund the government if it's not going to do the basic duties of securing the border of the United States… the American people expect us to lead now.
