Rep. Roy: ‘Congress needs to man up, stand up, and fight for the American people’

WASHINGTON —On Wednesday, Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21) appeared on Fox News's Fox and Friends to call on Congressional Republicans to block federal government funding if vaccine mandates stay in place. He also discussed the ongoing border crisis and the need to impeach DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

Full clip of the interview is available at the link here and some key quotes are below:

• The question before all members of Congress, but particularly Republicans who run every year on limited government and on freedom, are they going to stand up and say that not one single dollar should be used to fund government that is telling people that they must get a vaccine, a mandatory vaccine, or they're going to lose their job?
  
• The president doesn't have the power to do this, and where is Congress? Congress needs to man up, stand up, and fight for the American people. And that means don't fund a government that is tyrannically forcing people to get a vaccine that they don't want to get.
  
• We should be supporting all of Texas who are getting the shaft while this President refuses to do his job, unconstitutionally, by the way, an impeachable offense to not faithfully execute the laws of the United States. We should be helping the ranchers, helping the counties that are burying dead migrants to the tune of 10,000 dollars a body, helping the schools, helping the hospitals. Why? Because we're not doing our job to secure the border.
  
• Texas is getting stuck because this President refuses to actually secure the border, endangering Texans' lives, and endangering migrants in the process. They know what they're doing and for this reason, Mayorkas should be impeached.
