National Democrats Launch Ad Campaign Against U.S. Rep. Chip Roy After He Blocks Aid Package
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee said it's releasing digital ads criticizing Austin-area Congressman Chip Roy after the Republican single-handedly delayed a disaster aid package Friday.
The DCCC announced the ads "will reach thousands of voters in Texas’ 21st Congressional District on Facebook and Instagram."
The freshman congressman opposed a $19 billion bipartisan aid package that would have provided aid to hurricane-prone parts of Texas, as well as other parts of the country dealing with natural disasters.
“Congressman Roy just singlehandedly blocked a unanimous, bipartisan agreement on disaster relief,” DCCC Spokesperson Avery Jaffe said in a statement. “That’s a fitting close to a month where he stood on the side of drug companies overcharging Americans for their prescriptions and voted for higher taxes on Gold Star families. Every day Congressman Roy spends in Washington he turns more into a creature of the swamp, and the families in Texas he’s hurting need to know that.”

A-ha!!!!
Reading is your friend!
As found in another post:
"U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie, whose district stretches from Louisville to Ashland, blocked the bill by using a procedural move to halt its fast track.
The Democrat-controlled House advanced the measure — aimed at helping millions of Americans in states and territories — by "unanimous consent," which allows for quick passage with just a handful of lawmakers present. A single member, however, can object to block any proposal from passing by unanimous consent.
Massie is following in the footsteps of fellow Republican Congressman Chip Roy, of Texas, who stopped the measure from moving forward on Friday due to concerns about its cost."
