Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, tore into the Democratic Party during House GOP leaders’ press conference on Day 20 of the government shutdown after anti-Trump protests swept the country over the weekend.
He blasted the left’s embrace of the « No Kings » rallies, where millions of people across the U.S. took to city streets to protest President Donald Trump.
« This is the dying breaths of a bankrupt party, in my humble opinion, all too happy to shut down the government », Roy said during the press conference Monday.
