Yesterday, Chip Roy, Texas 21st cong. district rep said, in a defense of Pete Hegseth,
"We've all had some indiscretions in our past and things like that"
Which sounds like a confession of having raped in the past, to me, and which "indescretion" behaviors were not disclosed to November's voters.
And today, I can find no commentary on those comments anywhere.
Casual reference to prior violence and crime on women's bodies and psyches is now just a U.S. norm. A defence, even!
The think tank’s employees or fellows include #JeffreyClark, the fmr snr #DOJ *lawyer* who aided Trump’s attempts to overturn the #2020election result; #KenCuccinelli, a fmr acting deputy secretary in the #DHS under #Trump; & #MarkPaoletta, a fmr snr budget ofcl in the Trump admin. Other Trump allies such as fmr WH adviser #SteveBannon & US #House Reps #ChipRoy & #ScottPerry either spoke at the conferences or appeared on promotional materials for the events.
@thezenlady I hope this blows up in their fascist faces.
As usual, Republicans make no sense.
Chip Roy calls to defund Secret Service after Trump assassination attempt

A #Texas #Republican is calling on #KamalaHarris to invoke the #25thAmendment to remove President #JoeBiden, who he said is surrounded by a "cadre" of ventriloquist-esque progressives who are manipulating his moves like a "puppet."
Rep. #ChipRoy spoke with #FoxNews host #Bret #Baier on Wednesday to discuss his resolution for the first time since filing it last week.
“The CR should be into next year, not into the lame duck,” said Rep #JimJordan (R-OH). “Because you want to give the *new president* a chance to weigh in on what we spend & where we spend it.”
“We know there’s going to be a CR. I think that CR will go into [2025],” said Rep #ChipRoy (R-#Texas). “I think you shouldn’t drop it into a lame duck, because frankly nothing good happens for America in a lame duck.”
…in signs of trouble late Wed, the #House Rules Cmte failed to approve the #border #security bill because 3 #Republicans on the panel — Reps #ChipRoy, #ThomasMassie, & #RalphNorman — refused to support it, meaning the panel adjourned w/o action. Democrats have no interest in backing the #GOP border proposal.
The 3 separate bills that fund #military #aid for #Israel, #Ukraine & #Taiwan largely mirror the $95B #Senate-passed #NationalSecurity supplemental.
Today #Texass House Representative #ChipRoy tried to criticize planned assistance to #Ukraine, but couldn't manage stringing a coherent thought together:
"Don’t use Israel as a way to force Ukraine down the throats of the American people without having border security,” Mr. Roy said.
Huh? 
I'm sure it all made sense in his mind.

Chip Roy: Border package authors 'don't know what they're talking about' https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4450622-chip-roy-border-package-authors-dont-know-what-theyre-talking-about/
"Congressman Chip Roy (R-TX) is publicly urging Texas to ignore the Supreme Court. In previously unreported comments, Roy explained that he feared his position would push the country into "a post-constitutional world." But, Roy said, the Supreme Court is 'pushing our hand' by issuing a ruling related to the southern border that he opposes, and the Supreme Court needs to 'feel the pressure.'"
~ Judd Legum and Tesnim Zekeria
But some members of the party have in recent days crossed a new threshold: by suggesting that it’s okay to disregard #SCOTUS
After the Supreme Court ruled last week that federal authorities can remove razor wire that #Texas put on the US-Mexico #border, Rep #ChipRoy posted on social media that “Texas should ignore it.”
“It’s like, if someone’s breaking into your house, & the court says, ‘Oh, sorry. You can’t defend yourself.’ What do you tell the court? You tell the court to go to hell….”
«An ultra-conservative member o #HouseRepublican majority is laying blame 4 surge of #immigrants @ #SouthernBorder not at the feet o President #JoeBiden, but on his fellow Republicans — namely, former President #DonaldTrump
"I would acknowledge President Trump failed along w/ Republicans #PaulRyan & the guys, they failed in 2018 2 actually move a border security bill 2 tighten this so we aren't dealing w/ this crisis right now," #Texas #Republican Rep #ChipRoy said»
Chip Roy is a coward, a liar, and a traitor.
«Former President #DonaldTrump wants a primary candidate to challenge #Texas Rep. #ChipRoy — despite the filing deadline passing a week ago.
In a #SocialMedia post late Monday night, #Trump labeled Roy (R-Texas) a so-called #RINO, a #RepublicanInNameOnly.»
