(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Congressman Chip Roy, R–Texas, had a meltdown at the “MAGA camp” after both Democrats and Republicans — led by Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla. — ousted Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House of Representatives.
During his meltdown, Roy also compared himself to a soldier who landed in Normandy, France, and urged Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla. — whom he supports as a 2024 presidential candidate — to “restore order.”
“Some of our brothers and sisters, particularly in the, uh, you know, MAGA camp, I think, particularly enjoy the circular firing squad,” he said of McCarthy’s removal.

McCarthy was removed because he failed to honor his commitments to American conservatives when it comes to government spending, border security, the war between Russia and Ukraine and impeaching Joe Biden.
“You want to come at me and call me a RINO? You can kiss my a**!” he said during the Steve Deace’s show.
Just like Roy, Deace is also a very strong DeSantis supporter, who’s always been opposing Donald Trump.

In 2016, he even said that he “doesn’t really care” whether Trump or Hillary Clinton wins the election.
In addition to that, in the clip with Roy, Deace admitted to being “paid to care” about politics.
“I have laid it all on the line. I’ve not seen my family for two days in the last 30 days. You go around talking your big game and thumping your chests on Twitter? Yeah, come to my office and come have a debate, mother!” Roy said.
He then proceeded to compare himself to soldiers who were risking their lives to stop the literal Nazis.
“I’m not gonna give up. I’m not gonna go to a nunnery because… there are people who are buried over in Normandy who deserve us to stand up for what they fought for… all of you f***ers out there who are out there saying what you’re saying out on social media, you stick it!” Roy said.
After that, he promoted DeSantis as a potential president by saying he should restore order in the country.
“What happened to a country where we can’t even have order? [DeSantis] should be talking about [him] being the Governor who can restore order as President of the United States,” he said.
Trump supporters, like editor-in-chief of the National Pulse Raheem Kassam, responded to Roy’s meltdown.
“Chip Roy’s MAGA meltdown is a thing of beauty. But not for the reason he or his rhinophyma-having buddy think,” Kassam said.
