Texas Republican is so annoying one member of Congress wanted to punch him: report
Published 2 hours ago on June 22, 2019 By Bob Brigham
The Republican congressman who once worked as chief of staff to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is not making friends on Capitol Hill, The New York Times reported Saturday.
Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) has been forcing roll call votes, dragging Congress into sessions that have lasted after midnight.
For the first time in recent memory, a vote had been demanded on every amendment in a spending package, extending an already unwieldy and gridlocked process painfully late, The Times explained. And almost everyone was mad at Representative Chip Roy, the freshman Republican from Texas who was leading a campaign to force dozens of votes late into the night a campaign that would span two weeks of House session.
The newspaper recounted one member wanting to not only punch Roy, but in a particular place on his body.
