Reps. Chip Roy of Texas and Byron Donalds of Florida joined FOX News’ ‘Hannity’ to sound off on the government funding fight, among other issues.
Amid battles over government funding and a new motion by one Republican for Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. to vacate the Speaker’s chair relating to such fights, calls emerged to underline that no further funding should be appropriated to Ukraine until the United States begins protecting its own borders.
Remarking on Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., activating a fire alarm prior to a key government funding vote, Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, quipped that Republicans should be the ones pulling a proverbial alarm.
«If anybody should be pulling a fire alarm, it should be Republicans because of the massive dumpster-fire that we have at the southern border and the dumpster-fire we have here spending a whole lot of money we don’t have and racking up debt,» Roy said.
Roy noted he voted against the short-term continuing resolution passed Saturday at the last minute to fund the government for the next 45 days. Ninety-one Republicans voted against it, along with Illinois Democrat Mike Quigley who objected to the lack of Ukraine aid therein.
