A moment on the House floor got extremely heated and personal during a hearing on improving the visa process.
During a House Judiciary Subcommittee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Republican Rep. Chip Roy went off on a CATO Institute witness.
Roy was grilling the witness over the murders of innocent Americans due to lax illegal immigration enforcement and accused “people parading around as Libertarians” of helping the Biden administration let illegal criminals roam America’s streets.
The witness took issue with Roy’s statement and shot back.
That’s when it got interesting.
“I don’t have any time to listen to libertarian claptrap that is killing Americans!” Roy hammered in the short clip that was shared by Breitbart News Editor Bradley Jaye:

Plenty of X users chimed in to criticize the “purity” of the Libertarian doctrine with many claiming the party has been ‘taken over’ by ‘whiny betas’:
That dude is not a libertarian. The current libertarian party has been taken over by a bunch of f*cking retards who wouldn’t know anything about the Constitution if someone shoved it up their ass.

Libertarian purity is a failure. Milton Friedman even said open borders are not compatible with the welfare state

It’s easy to forget libertarians are ideologically open borders-they do not believe in immigration restrictions. What’s more interesting about this exchange is that the congressional Democrats keep bringing him as an expert witness but deny accusations of being open border.

Amazing. Thank you @chiproytx for standing up for Americans and their families, safe communities, and sane border policies, while also calling out the false compassion claimed by those who advocate for open borders. https://t.co/fZ5QBvSQNc

He cannot call himself an actual libertarian. The libertarian party has been taken over by a bunch of whiny betas who don’t actually give a shit about the Constitution.
