At a House Rules Committee Hearing to debate a bill "denouncing the horrors of socialism" on Tuesday, Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) questioned Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-SC) and Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) about the resolution.
During a hearing on a resolution introduced by Representative Maria Salazar (R-FL) to condemn the quote “horrors of socialism,” a spat erupted between Representative Chip Roy (R-Tx.) and Representative Maxine Waters (D-Ca.).
Roy cited an op-ed by a Cuban Democrat criticizing the party’s leftward shift toward “democratic socialism,” comparing it to the horrors they witnessed while living under Cuba’s authoritarian socialist regime.
Then he went after Waters, mentioning a statement she made in support of seizing private companies and property before asking her if she was a Socialist. Chip Roy is an up and coming star of the Republican party.
