Secret recordings of a US Congressman:
In a leaked video, the conservative Republican politician Chip Roy said that it was now his party’s job to hinder the proceedings in the US Congress until the mid-term elections in November 2022.
“I actually say, thank God, 18 more months of chaos and the inability to get things done. That’s what we want. “
The activist Lauren Windsor secretly recorded the conversation during an event organized by the NGO “Patriot Voices” and published it on social media.
After the release, Chip Roy spoke to “Fox” about the video – and underlined his controversial statements:
“For the next 18 months it is the Republicans ‘job to do whatever it takes to slow down or block the Democrats’ radical agenda.” – Chip Roy vs. “Fox”
The Republican from Texas continues on a course of confrontation with his critics and political opponents on Twitter.
“To be clear, there is nothing dirty about my blocking stance on the left. I am an extraordinary blocker. “
A bizarre and unusual detail: the last sentence is an allusion to a famous film quote. Hollywood villain Hans Gruber, played by Alan Rickman, says in the classic action film “Die Hard”: “I’m an extraordinary thief.”
Numerous critics are now accusing Roy of putting the interests of his party, the Republicans, above those of the country and the citizens.
Supporters, in turn, praise his uncompromising approach as a clever political tactic.
After four years in office, Republican Donald Trump lost the US election to Democrat Joe Biden in November 2020.
