'Kiss my a**!' Chip Roy's HEATED rant over Matt Gaetz and Kevin McCarthy



Chip Roy is not pleased with his colleagues.

The Republican representative joins Steve Deace to lash out at the termination of Kevin McCarthy’s role as House speaker. Deace is also at his wits' end.

“I am paid to care; I don’t care. It’s getting harder to make me care. This is a joke, it’s rudderless, and it seems as if we want to sell each other talking points [rather] than actually produce any form of substantive victory,” Deace tells Roy.

The motion to vacate McCarthy’s position was filed by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), who joined House Democrats to oust McCarthy by a vote of 216-210 earlier this week.

Roy believes that some in the “MAGA camp” are enjoying “the circular firing squad.”

“I’ve spent a lifetime fighting for limited-government conservatism. I have laid it all on the line,” Roy tells Deace.

“You go around talking your big game and thumping your chest on Twitter, yeah, come to my office to come have a debate, mother. You know why? Because I’m standing up for this country every single day.”

Deace contends that Roy is not alone, adding, “I think that sums up the way a lot of people think, brother, I do. I just don’t think they know what to do instead.”

Roy is also quite unimpressed by the keyboard warriors who believe their tweets will turn America around for the better.

“If people want to play this out in real time, and deal with this every single minute and every single day on social media,” Roy notes, “Don’t think that that’s somehow going to change the game, because what we gotta do, is we have to actually define the fight.”

“Just don’t think that getting out on social media, that that’s somehow real,” he adds, “It ain't.”

Is THIS who will replace McCarthy as speaker?



In a surprising twist, Kevin McCarthy has been removed from his position as the speaker of the House, leaving the position completely vacant.

Eight Republicans joined forces with Democrats to oust McCarthy.

One of those Republicans was Rep. Matt Gaetz, who seems to have successfully persuaded his colleagues. “Chaos is Speaker McCarthy. Chaos is somebody who we cannot trust with their word,” Gates said.

“The one thing that the White House, Democrats, and many of us on the conservative side of the Republican caucus would argue is that the thing we have in common [is] Kevin McCarthy said something to all of us at one point or another that he didn’t really mean and never intended to live up to,” he continued.

Sara Gonzales believes this was a sound decision.

“What the hell have you done?” Gonzales says, referencing McCarthy. “You’re voting to send all of our money to Ukraine, you’re pushing the rest of the House members to sign on to these BS spending bills and you didn’t follow through with what you said you were going to do,” she adds.

BlazeTV contributor Jaco Booyens agrees, adding that he’d “like to see a Chip Roy in that seat, because Chip will 100 percent focus on the border.”

He notes that Jim Jordan would be great as well, “but Chip is a bulldog” who will, “at the minimum, stop the bleeding at the border.”

Pat Gray is concerned that “we could get somebody worse.”

“I can’t remember the last time there was a really strong conservative as speaker of the House. We’ve had to settle every time, or it’s been somebody terrible, like Nancy Pelosi,” he adds.

Gray believes we need someone “who’s going to assert the powers that belong with the Congress, like the power of the purse string.”

“Shut off the spigot for Ukraine, that’s thing one. Fund the protection of our own border, that’s really important,” he adds.
