Chip Roy Does Full 180 on Trump Conduct, Slams Liz Cheney For Saying Trump is Not the GOP's Future

It appears Congressman Chip Roy (R-TX) has flip-flopped over Donald Trump’s conduct in office, judging by how he’s attacking House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney for condemning the former president — as he once did.

Roy spoke before reporters on Thursday, saying he defended his “friend” weeks ago when Congressional Republicans made their failed push to oust Cheney from her leadership role. This uproar occurred after Cheney voted to impeach Trump for incitement of insurrection after deeming him responsible for the crowd of his supporters who violently invaded the U.S. Capitol to overturn his election defeat.

Ever since Trump’s term ended in chaos, Cheney has urged the GOP to cut ties with the former president and find a new leader for the party’s future. This came to a flashpoint on Wednesday when she blatantly contradicted House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy as they spoke about whether Trump ought to be the headliner at the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) this weekend.

Clearly, Roy did not approve of that:

shoulders over the entire Republican party. Policy-wise, she still is repugnant, but damn. If we have to go up against Republicans, could we please have the modicum of sanity she displays?
