Trump Lashes Out At Conservative Republican, Calls Him 'RINO' For Backing Ron DeSantis
HuffPost
The former president says someone should primary Rep. Chip Roy, except he's very popular and the deadline to do so has already passed. Oh well!
Former President Donald Trump is calling for a primary challenge against Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) because Roy backs Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida, for president.
Roy appeared alongside DeSantis in Iowa for a Fox News interview that caught Trump’s attention on Monday evening.
“Has any smart and energetic Republican in the Great State of Texas decided to run in the Primary against RINO Congressman Chip Roy,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, using an acronym for “Republican in name only.” “For the right person, he is very beatable. If interested, let me know!!!”
Roy might be beatable, but the filing deadline for primary elections in Texas was Dec. 11, so Trump’s recruitment effort might be a week too late.
Roy is one of the most prominent Republicans in Congress backing DeSantis over Trump for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024. Roy endorsed DeSantis, his former House colleague, earlier this year, before DeSantis had even formally announced his candidacy.
