GOP lawmaker says fellow Republican colleague should get a 'code red beat down': report

Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) did not take kindly to reports that his fellow right-wing Texas lawmaker, Rep. Chip Roy, could make a move to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) from the gavel, KSDK's Mark Maxwell reported on Wednesday.

“I love Chip Roy, but Chip Roy is a major pain in the ass for all of us a few times,” Jackson told the crowd at a GOP panel held at an American Legion post.

According to Maxwell, Jackson then "Suggest[ed] Roy could use a 'code red' beat down from ‘A Few Good Men.’"

Jackson, who represents the Texas Panhandle and the Wichita Falls area, previously served in a White House physician role under multiple presidents, and was accused of having been frequently intoxicated while in that job, as well as sexually harassing staff, mishandling drugs, and crashing a government vehicle while drunk.

He recently made headlines after he was briefly detained by police for getting into a foul-mouthed screaming match with officers while trying to administer medical aid at a rodeo in Amarillo.

Johnson himself was elected speaker after weeks of chaos following a renegade group of Republicans successfully forcing a vote to remove former Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) from that role.
