Chip Roy accuses his party of buying MTG’s vote: ‘That’s the kind of sh*t that keeps happening’

December 17, 2025 | | Print Article

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) went off on his own party, whom he accused of buying the vote of outgoing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) for the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), the latest meltdown from the hot-tempered Texan.

Roy lost his cool during a Tuesday House Rules Committee meeting amid tensions over extending COVID-era Affordable Care Act subsidies and the coming spike in insurance costs, slamming GOP House leadership for cutting deals with Greene, who is seeking to pass her Protect Children’s Innocence Act, perhaps her final piece of legislation after she quit Congress over an ugly feud with President Donald J. Trump.

“Marjorie was given this vote this week to buy her vote on the National Defense Authorization Act. Everybody knows it,” he declared. “It happened right there on the floor of the House.”

“The majority leader said, Marjorie, would you like to have your bill brought up to the floor? And guess what? Got a yes vote on a rule for the National Defense Authorization Act,” Roy continued. “And that’s the kind of s**t that keeps happening around this institution all the time, including on our side of the aisle, and I’m sick of it.”

“And I’m sick of what happened in the Judiciary Committee when we should have done it there. We should have addressed it in the Judiciary Committee, the people who are supposed to be vanguards of the Constitution,” the Lone Star State Republican fumed.

Greene clapped back at her vociferous colleague in a post to X, sharing a video of Roy’s accusatory outburst.

“I refused to vote for the rule to the NDAA to force a vote on my bill, it’s a shame that’s what it takes. Then voted NO on final passage of the NDAA bc of all the foreign war funding,” she wrote. “But Chip is now trying to pass his amendment, that actually weakens my bill and protects privately funded pediatric gender clinics, even though that amendment already failed on Judiciary Committee.”

“Why is Chip fighting so hard to continue the trans agenda on kids?” MTG asked.

Roy also blasted the bill that Republicans have put forth with the ACA subsidies set to expire on December 31 as “milquetoast garbage” that does nothing to address the staggering costs of Obamacare, a national disaster that has only resulted in healthcare that is anything but affordable to Americans who are being bled dry by a system that doesn’t work and only benefits the parasitical insurance industry.

“Why do you think it’s expensive?” Roy raged. “Because you literally cut a deal with insurance companies to run healthcare.”

“Republicans complain about it, and then they’ll offer milquetoast garbage like we’re offering this week and then go home at Christmas and say, ‘Look at what we’re doing,’” he added. “‘We’re campaigning on reducing healthcare.’ Well, congratu-friggin-lations. At some point, people will look at this body and say, ‘Maybe we should get rid of all 435 members of the House and 100 members of the Senate and start over because Congress is literally failing the American people.’”
