AOC needs a wake up call and so does the people who voted for her

[clemu]

Cortez also spoke of Social Security as if its an entitlement. It's insurance that every citizen pays for.

[JeaneanEvans-cnkz]

Please continue speaking the truth Mr. Roy, God Bless You and your Family"

[hselctrical]

Politicians should be accountable for the lies they tell, would that not help bring a better world 🤔

[bobclavile]

Gotta love it when she speaks. No other member of congress provides so much proof that stupidity, and ignorance is all that is required to BE HER.

[ToolFloydChimera]

Most dangerous phrase: “I’m from the government and I’m here to help”

[adamwe]

Completely roasted her! Even if the debt isn’t ours, saying that it isn’t your problem isn’t going to solve it or make it disappear

[conniehoren]

Thank God for people who care about America. Someone who takes a stand for our freedoms. ❤

[aurelius]

Thank you Mr. Roy for standing in the face of these snakes and telling the truth.

[greglemieux]

He nailed it. How could ANYONE say what she just said with a straight face?

[luisacracolici]

Thank you Chip Roy! Everything you say is TRUTH!!
🇺🇸God Bless you Sir.

I’m from the government and I’m here to help!

"The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help. "
President Ronald Reagan

[Ohplease]

As President Reagan once said, the scariest 9 words ever uttered was I’m from the government and I’m here to help.

[bornfree]

Amen! Nailed it Chip!! We don’t want the government deciding anything for us.

[Wakk]

Chip Roy for president. Finally a politician that actually sounds like he cares.And would put an end to a lot of the crap the government does.

[unapologeticgreatgrandma]

Chip Roy is awesome. He alaways hits the nail right on the head. Good job, Sir.

“I want a government so small I can’t even see it”

-Rand Paul 2015

[willyghost]

This man spoke for every hardworking American who has been resisting the oppressive government we have been dealing with for the past few years. A government that does not help because it does not want to help but wants control instead. A government that had us locked away in our homes and being arrested when we pushed back against its tyranny. Vote for America! 🇺🇸

Chip Roy, a remarkable asset to congress and to our country. Bless him.
