Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) on Wednesday predicted Republicans will face an electoral “bloodbath” if they don’t now go all in on President Donald Trump.
On Wednesday’s broadcast of former Trump White House chief strategist-turned-MAGA flamethrower Steve Bannon’s “War Room” show, Roy said poor GOP results in key elections this week were a “wake-up call that if you don’t lead and lead with a clear vision and a clear direction, you’re going to get absolutely slaughtered.”
Roy, a leading member of the far-right House Freedom Caucus, said fellow Republicans must be “rip-roaring coming through, behind the president to save this country.”
Trump “wants to lead, he wants to go on offense,” he told Bannon. “And Republicans on Capitol Hill are just kind of messing around, going, ‘Well, we got this Big Beautiful Bill done. And now we’re kind of done. And let’s limp through into the midterms.’ We can’t do that.”
He concluded, “If we sit back on defense and if we side with the moderates and if we undermine President Trump, then it will be a bloodbath in the midterms and that will do nothing to advance the agenda for a free country.”
