‘This Is a Travesty!’ Chip Roy Goes OFF on Senate Changes to Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill on Fox News
Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) sounded off on the Senate’s changes to President Donald Trump’s Big, Beautiful Bill as the upper chamber voted on it on Tuesday, calling it a “travesty.”
Asked by Fox News’ Harris Faulkner to “talk to me about what you are watching” as Senators cast their votes, Roy responded, “Yeah Harris, I mean, first of all, the president is absolutely right to want to see a bill get through that will extend the tax cuts. That is completely something that Republicans should deliver on. And we should also deliver on the border funding that you and I were talking about right before we broke to that press conference. We need to do that. We need to help Tom Homan. These are all good friends who are doing a great job.”
“The question here is whether the Senate is going to deliver on the spending restraint that is necessary to deal with the inflation tax that is crippling the average American. We talk about the tax increases that would occur if we don’t deliver. That is correct, we must deliver. But if we do not deliver on spending restraint, bond markets are going to crater, inflation will continue, interest rates will go up, houses will be less affordable,” he continued. “And let’s talk about this stuff that I believe I’m being told in real time that has been added to cut a deal at the last minute. For example, to water down the termination of the Green New Scam significantly. I don’t have the final text yet, but I was looking at an amendment right before you cut to me. And I believe that they are massively watering down what we did to deliver for the president on the Green New Scam. This is the Senate doing swamp things.”
“This is the Senate listening to K Street. This is the Senate wanting to try to save some for their home states, like Senator Murkowski for Alaska trying to get giveaways to perpetuate the Medicaid money laundering scam in Alaska. I think this is a travesty that the Senate is going to risk the ability of us to deliver for the American people,” concluded Roy. “But we will deliver. It may not be today. It may be this week. But we’re going to deliver on the tax cuts, spending cuts, and the border funding necessary to save this country.”
“Congressman, as we are watching this and I’m hearing you say those words, what’s been added to make a deal, would that also be making a deal with Republicans? They have majority here,” observed Faulkner.
“Yeah, this is deals that was cut with Republicans in order to try to get this bill through the Senate. And it is going to undermine the good things we did in the House to deliver on the president’s agenda,” submitted Roy. “The president wants the tax cuts. He wanted the Green New Scam terminated. We need it all, And I think we’re going to have some more work to do after this week to get this done.”
