Rep. Roy on Tucker Carlson Tonight: ‘Stop funding the tyranny over the American people’

WASHINGTON— On Wednesday, Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21) joined Tucker Carlson on Fox News to discuss why Congress must stop funding federal bureaucrats to exercise tyranny over the American people.

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

• It's not enough for Republicans to say that we're about taking back the House or taking back the Senate, we should be about taking back America.
  
• Why do we take taxpayer dollars and borrow money to fund a Department of Justice that targets people like Scott Smith? Why are we funding a Department of Homeland Security that refuses to secure the border? Why are we funding Anthony Fauci? Why are we funding to the tune of eight billion dollars the CDC to put out their ridiculous guidelines on masks and three billion dollars to an FDA to tell us it's going to be 55 years for a FOIA request? Why are we funding that? It makes absolutely no sense.
  
• Racism, the modern day scarlet letter: let's actually go to war on that. Let's end every department, every diversity officer, let's end every program involving critical race theory, let's end it across all of the federal government, let's set our own goal posts- goal posts for radical liberty and defense of the people. Let's choose states instead of the federal government, let's choose small businesses instead of corporate cronyism.
  
• Why are we funding big pharma? Why are we funding, through the Obamacare and our massive regime of healthcare, insurance companies to get enriched and to be an arm of the government to use the power to go after us? And why are we listening to Dr. Fauci lecture Rand Paul and Roger Marshall in the Senate when he's a bureaucrat? Get rid of him.
  
• Stop funding the tyranny over the American people. Let's stand up for the people, empower them by firing bureaucrats, defunding bureaucrats, stop giving money to the very people that are constraining us.
