Everyone,
Chip Roy went on his rant because the GOP leadership didn't push shutting the government down! He is no hero, no moderate Republican, and no one the Dems can work with. His rant is because he wanted GOP leadership to threaten shutting down the government over the holidays to force more concessions from the House Dems! Don't look at that 30 second Twitter clip out of context.

Thirteen Texas Republicans voted against their party’s bill Tuesday to keep the government funded through the year, though the bill was able to garner support from Democrats and pass in the U.S. House.
The measure, known as a continuing resolution, would keep the government funded at current spending levels until early next year as Congress works on appropriations legislation to finance the government for the whole fiscal year. House Speaker Mike Johnson presented the legislation over the weekend.
U.S. Reps.
John Carter,
Michael Cloud,
Pat Fallon,
Tony Gonzales,
Lance Gooden,
Wesley Hunt,
Morgan Luttrell,
Nathaniel Moran,
Chip Roy, Keith Self,
Beth Van Duyne,
Randy Weber and
Roger Williams voted against the bill — just over half the state’s GOP delegation.
The bill passed 336-95, with 93 Republicans and two Democrats voting against it. All Texas Democrats supported the bill.
Several deeply conservative members felt Republican leadership did not use the shutdown deadline to eke out stronger policy priorities."
