‘Blow this system up’: Chip Roy scolds Republicans who aren’t ‘committed fully’ to MAGA

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) called on his GOP colleagues in the House to band together to push through President-elect Donald Trump’s MAGA agenda come January, but predicted there would be “fireworks” if congressional Republicans don’t figure things out soon.

The comments came Tuesday during Roy’s appearance on The Benny Show podcast, where he lashed out at lawmakers in his own party who haven’t embraced the full scope of the MAGA agenda and who he sees as not doing their part “to clean out the entire system.”

“That’s why I supported RFK, that’s why I support people who want to blow this system up,” Roy said. “Right, start back over. Go back to the founding principles. But if I hear one more Republican tell me I’ve got to get in line to be a team player – I don’t want to be a part of a team of losers – I want to be on a team that wants to win and deliver for the American people.”

Roy continued to deliver his message to Republicans on Capitol Hill during a discussion with conservative podcaster Benny Johnson about how the party plans to move forward once they control the House. But the MAGA congressman wasn’t done taking Republicans who don’t share his same MAGA-inspired perspective to task.

“We have a Republican conference that is not committed fully to doing what the president campaigned on and that they grabbed his coattails to be dragged across the line to get a razor-thin majority, which the House would’ve lost but for President Trump’s coattails,” he said, adding: "So, we’ve gotta actually deliver and I don’t think right now Republicans know what that means.”

He concluded by calling for congressional Republicans to come together this month to work on a blueprint for moving forward.

“I’m just telling you, when the rubber meets the road, there’s going to be some fireworks if we don’t find a way as a Republican conference to get in a room and figure all this out,” Roy said.
