‘This is a test for Republicans. Will they stand up and fight for the American people or roll over?’

WASHINGTON—On Wednesday, Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21) joined Shannon Bream on Fox News calling on Republicans to refuse to fund a government that is abusing its power through tyrannical vaccine mandates and robbing Americans of their security and liberty by unconstitutionally leaving our southern border wide open.

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

• Should Republicans, should any member of Congress, vote to fund a government, fund the executive branch, and fund the very bureaucrats who are going after American citizens and telling them they are going to have to lose their jobs, lose their livelihoods, if they don't take a mandatory vaccine under the mandates that President Biden has issued?
  
• The question really becomes: why would we fund bureaucrats to go after our constituents?
  
• It ought to be up to [the American people] and their doctors, not the President, not bureaucrats in Washington. So, why would we fund that?
  
• Dr. Fauci isn't telling the truth when he said that some of the folks [at the border] are being tested… The truth is, [migrants] are being captured inland on ranches. They're then put together, often shoved into vehicles, and they're only tested if they've got symptoms. The fact is we don't have any real testing operation going on at the border.
  
• This is about the government exercising control over the people, and that's not necessary here. I don't think we should fund the government in doing that. This is a test for Republicans. Will they stand up and fight for the American people or roll over?
