GOPer scorches his own party in expletive-filled rampage

U.S. Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) has an angry message for fellow House Republicans: You had one job to do!

In an expletive-riddled rant Wednesday, as transcribed by C-Span, Roy criticized his party’s inability to, among other things, include spending cuts in stopgap legislation that prevented a government shutdown over Thanksgiving.

“I want my Republican colleagues to give me one thing,” Roy roared. “One that I can go campaign on and say we did.”

Roy’s rant covered a lot of complaints about House Republicans' inability to deliver on promises made to voters, but he was particularly outraged that his fellow party members worked alongside Democrats to prevent airport staff working without pay over a major travel holiday, major delays and an estimated economic loss of $140 million a day.

“Oh, we can’t have a shutdown? Okay,” said Roy. “Then why don’t you just take your voting card, walk over to the other side of the aisle and say, ‘Thank you, sir, may I have another?'”

Cinephiles might recall those are words issued by a young Kevin Bacon as his backside is paddled in the film “Animal House.”

Roy then bemoaned misguided priorities when it came to national defense, seeming to argue inclusion in the military detracted from its core purpose: “Killing people and blowing things up, which is what the military is supposed to be trained to do.”

Roy noted the veterans who gave their lives to protect our nation's freedoms, then said succinctly, “We’re p---ing it away.”

And he swept away the excuse that House conservatives were “not as bad as the Democrats” by comparing it to a line he sourced to Gen. George Patton: “You won’t have to say, well, I was shoveling c--- in Louisiana ... no offense to my friends from Louisiana.”

Roy’s rhetorical rampage ended with a stern warning to his fellow Americans.

“This country is in trouble,” he said. "When are we going to act like a Republican majority and start fighting?"

This call to arms arrived one day after former Speaker Kevin McCarthy was accused of sucker punching one of his colleagues in the kidneys and U.S. Rep. James Comer referred to a congressional colleague as "a smurf."
