Conservatives divided as Trump urges primary challenge against ‘RINO’ Chip Roy
Conservatives Slam Trump for Calling for Primary Challenge Against Rep. Chip Roy
Donald Trump is facing criticism from conservatives after he called for a primary challenge against Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) due to Roy’s support of Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) for the GOP presidential nomination. The attack came after Roy appeared alongside DeSantis at a campaign event in Iowa, where they discussed Trump’s record while in office. Trump took to Truth Social to criticize Roy and call for candidates to challenge him in the primary elections.
Backlash from Republicans
Several Republicans came to Roy’s defense, condemning Trump’s “shortsighted” comments. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) expressed his support for Roy, stating that he is a strong conservative who fights for his beliefs. DeSantis also defended Roy, mocking Trump for calling for a primary challenger after the filing deadline had passed in Texas.
Roy Responds to Trump’s Attacks
Roy, who had previously endorsed DeSantis for the GOP presidential nomination, criticized Trump for refusing to debate his Republican opponents. He pointed out that while DeSantis was actively engaging with voters, Trump was hiding in his Florida basement. Roy also accused Trump of failing to implement effective border policies during his time in office, suggesting that this may be why he avoids debates.
Despite the criticism, Roy remains steadfast in his support for DeSantis and his conservative principles.
