Roy's fiery speech on the House floor questions the accomplishments of the Republican majority, sparking responses from both sides of the aisle.

  • Republican Representative Chip Roy criticized his own party in a fiery speech on the House floor, accusing them of doing 'nothing' with their majority in the House of Representatives.
  • Roy's criticism comes amid internal divisions in the GOP, which led to the ousting of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy in October.
  • The House has just averted a government shutdown by passing a short-term funding bill, but 93 Republicans voted against it, in part because it did not include the spending cuts they wanted.
  • Roy asked his Republican colleagues to give him one significant thing the Republican majority has done that he can campaign on.
  • Roy's comments have been met with responses from both sides of the aisle, with some Democrats agreeing with his assessment and others using his words to criticize the Republican party.
