Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) has been vocally critical of the $1.2 trillion funding package recently unveiled by congressional leaders, labeling it an 'abomination' and a 'total failure' of Republican leadership. Roy's comments came amid a series of public statements and interviews where he specifically targeted House Speaker Mike Johnson and the Republican leadership for their role in negotiating and supporting the bill. Roy argued that the bill represents a 'total lack of backbone and leadership' and has warned that Republicans who vote for the bill are risking the GOP's majority in the House. He has also suggested that those Republicans should 'feel pain' for their support of the legislation, emphasizing that a vote for the bill is 'a vote against America.' The House Freedom Caucus, with Roy among its members, held a press conference denouncing the spending bill, further illustrating the internal GOP conflict over the legislation.
