Roy, who has emerged as the hard right’s spending expert, is accusing McCarthy of having reneged on the deal, and is attempting to exert his leverage again — this time with potentially dire consequences. Rep. Chip Roy leads GOP revolt against debt deal:
WASHINGTON — At the height of Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s quest for his post in January, Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, darted from meeting to meeting ensuring that hard-line conservatives got what they wanted before agreeing to back the California Republican.
“If we can’t kill it, we’re going to have to regroup and figure out the whole leadership arrangement again,” Roy said Tuesday on Glenn Beck’s radio show. He and his allies view the country’s $31.5 trillion national debt as a greater threat to America than the Treasury Department’s warning that the country could default on certain bills by June 5.
But Roy’s charts are fueling the arguments of other conservatives as they fight the legislation. He distributed a four-page memo last month of talking points for other Republicans as the negotiations went on. Then he posted two charts emphasizing what he called the failings of the deal.
