Rep. Roy on government vaccine bullying: ‘Just put information out there and let the American people decide’

July 26, 2021

WASHINGTON— Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21) recently joined Tony Perkins on Family Research Council's program, Washington Watch, slamming Dr. Fauci for his role in misleading the American people, government efforts to bully people about private medical choices, and Biden's gross economic recklessness as inflation continues to soar.

Footage of the interview is available here and some key quotes are below:

  • I think the arrogance of Dr. Fauci is starting to catch up to him… He was propping his feet up on the covers of magazines, he was hobnobbing around D.C., he was enjoying celebrity status, and now he's starting to realize that, hold on a second, a lot of these bad things that occurred- that occurred in the Wuhan Institute Virology- happened on his watch and with his knowledge.
  • This thing [COVID-19] may well have been engineered or created in a lab and [Fauci] had knowledge of that which may well have helped impact how we dealt with the response to it over that last 15-16 months.
  • The American people are pretty smart and they're seeing what's going on, so long as they see the actual facts, right, obviously it gets obfuscated by the media who doesn't want to highlight it.
  • Some of us are saying, "look, we love the vaccines." I'm glad my dad, who is 78, got the vaccine. But, also Americans who want to pump the breaks a little bit and say, "wait a minute, don't jam the vaccine into my 10 year-old, don't go tell me that the government has the right to know whether I've had the vaccine or not had the vaccine." Just put information out there and let the American people decide.
  • We have a long ways to get to the churning economy we had eighteen months ago where we were creating wealth and opportunity and jobs for people of all backgrounds from all over the country, and the President seems to be completely oblivious to how much it's driving up the costs of goods and services… [Biden] is completely disconnected from the reality of what's impacting hard-working Americans every day.
