Representative Chip Roy has been vocal in his criticism of fellow Republicans over their support for a $1.2 trillion government funding bill, labeling it a 'swamp omnibus' and an 'abomination.' Roy, a member of the House Freedom Caucus, accused Republican leadership, including Speaker Mike Johnson, of being a 'Total Failure' and showing a 'Total Lack Of Backbone' in their handling of the bill. He argues that the bill contributes to issues such as the border crisis and undermines Republican claims to fiscal responsibility and border security. Roy's comments highlight a significant rift within the Republican Party, as he suggests that supporting the bill could jeopardize Republican chances in upcoming elections. The bill, which has passed the House, awaits Senate approval to prevent a government shutdown. Six members from Texas voted in favor of the budget.
