Chip Roy excoriates Dems for jamming through $40B Ukraine ‘garbage’ bill full of ‘untold slush funding’

May 11, 2022 | | Print Article

Republican firebrand Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) lit up House Democrats on the chamber floor Thursday for ramming through a $40 billion spending bill allegedly for aid to Ukraine but undoubtedly filled with all manner of pork as well.

“Congress is jamming through ANOTHER massive spending bill that its members haven’t had time to read,” Roy tweeted, along with a video clip of his arguments.

He added, “The gall of members of Congress lecturing us when jamming through a $40BB Ukraine funding bill with untold slush funding, with no actual debate, no amendments, no opening of American oil & gas, and 4 hours to read before beginning to vote…”

Roy railed against the notion of “protecting the institution” that Democrats claim to espouse while at the same time, they presented the spending bill at essentially the zero hour and called for a vote before it could be thoroughly examined.

“I haven’t had a chance to review the bill. My staff is poring over the pages trying to see what’s in it,” Roy said from the House floor, adding, ” Why don’t we actually have a debate on the floor of the people’s House, instead of the garbage of getting a $40 billion bill at three-o-clock in the afternoon?”

Many on Twitter agreed with Roy, but tactics in Congress never seem to rise above that of cynicism and lust for power.

Good question, considering the House bill passed with overwhelming support from Republicans, who, incidentally, will spend gobs of taxpayer money sight-unseen just as quickly as any Democrat.

Not one to sit idly by, Roy is well-known for making his voice heard on a range of issues; sometimes loudly on the House floor and at other times in writing.

In April, the congressman formally demanded answers from a San Antonio, Texas, school district that allegedly conducted a racial segregation experiment, and of course, did not notify parents of their intentions.

“As NISD’s Superintendent, you have an obligation to inform parents about what steps you are taking to ensure this will not happen again,” Roy wrote. “It is imperative for you to address these concerns immediately.”

He also reminded the district about Texas law, which “prohibits educators from teaching students that ‘one race or sex is inherently superior to another race or sex,’ or that ‘individuals should be discriminated against or receive adverse treatment solely or partly because of the individual’s race.’”

Roy has also been vocal in his opposition to vaccine mandates and has called for accountability from Dr. Anthony Fauci and the CDC, both of whom he says conveniently disappeared from the public conversation once Russia invaded Ukraine.

“The fact of the matter is, we’re looking at that and we’re talking about war crimes? I wanna talk about the crimes against humanity that have been perpetrated by Anthony Fauci, the CDC, and the federal government against the American people. I wanna talk about the dead Americans – people who had myocarditis, people who had a reaction to the vaccine,” he had said.

“I wanna talk about the Americans who lost their job because of vaccine mandates, whether they are military or health care workers, or maybe a Border Patrol agent federal worker who have been forced to lose their job if they didn’t take a jab,” he railed at the time.

  1. I’m not sure, but I don’t think there has EVER been a MORE CORRUPT and INEPT Administration in the USA or possibly the WORLD!! Biden should have been IMPEACHED before the end of DAY ONE!! I want people to remember this crap so when PRESIDENT TRUMP goes SCORCHED EARTH to TRY to repair the damage I don’t want to hear “muh rights”!! I don’t want to hear anyone whine about DUE PROCESS! I want to see protestors rounded up and HELD WITHOUT CHARGES like the Jan 6 sightseers! I want to see DEMOcrat and RINO’s arrested and charged with CONSPIRACY to overthrow Our Government based on the LIES of the Steele dossier and the “phone call”! and the “secret server”!! I don’t want to hear any whining about OUR MILITARY GUARDING OUR BORDER! NOR do I want to hear the cries of “mercy” when the MILLIONS of recent INVADERS are returned to the Mexican border and placed on the OTHER side of OUR GLORIOUS COMPLETED WALL!!

  2. While I’m sure a good portion of the money as always will go to fund the Four Horsemen of the Democrat Party: Waste, Fraud, Graft and corruption, the question the whole world wants answered is: how much did Hunter get and what is Joe’s cut, the usual 10% or more?

  3. Pelosi is 100% the fault

    The last federal budget passed under regular order was signed into law in September of 2007 for fiscal year 2008. Everything after that has been a series of continuing resolutions, omnibus spending, base line budget expansions and debt ceiling increases. There has never been a full budget process worked through in the past 14 years. 2008 FEDERAL DEBT – $8 TRILLION – TODAY $30 Trillion

    1. I have proposed a LAW that REQUIRES an APPROVED BUDGET to be in place PRIOR to the beginning of the NEW Fiscal Year! ALL of the Government EE’s who have a PART in the Budget will NOT be paid NOR will enjoy any BENEFITS if the BUDGET is not done! AND NO BACKPAY or BENEFITS!! They have a JOB to do – DO OR DON’T GET PAID!!

  4. Well chip, you don’t have to worry that much. A lot of the money will return to us. Investigations have shown money donated to the Ukraine is returned in the form of political donations to congressmen who will vote more money be donated to the Ukraine. And so on and so forth. That’s why you get so many dimocrats visiting Ukraine, making sure of their contacts and commitment s.

  5. The Dems are off the rails, but the Republicans? Shameful and traitorous to US citizens. We’re struggling to make ends meet, pay our bills, buy food, afford gasoline, and yet instead of helping us our ‘government’ thinks $40 billion is better spent on Ukraine than on baby formula and food for starving Americans.

  6. Chip Roy is a patriot but the Republicans that are supporting this are complicit in the reckless money printing that is driving our massive inflation and bankrupting our citizens and our country.
    Not to mention that I’m sick to death of the politicians on both sides shouting; “We must protect their sovereignty and we must protect Democracy”. First we don’t have a border or any “sovereignty” in our own country and we should be protecting that FIRST. Secondly, Ukraine is absolutely NOT a Democracy. Zelenskyy outlawed all political parties and completely controls the media; just like any other dictator. He leads the corrupt government that accepted a billion dollar bribe from Joe Biden to fire the prosecutor who was looking into his son Hunter’s money laundering scheme. Shipping billions of dollars of weapons will only prolong and exacerbate the war and result in hundreds of thousands, instead of tens of thousands of deaths. This is not our fight and Biden’s reckless proxy war against Putin and openly calling for his ouster or death may result in WWIII.

  7. Is there no limit to these dims control of every aspect of OUR government.

  8. We ship Ukraine 40 billion. What is NATO sending them ? Certainly not as much, and they are funding Russia by buying their gas. This administration is pushing us toward WW3 and anyone who voted for this is complicit.
