San Antonio Congressman Chip Roy Says the COVID Pandemic Is a Hoax Meant to Hurt the GOP

[TexasTowelie]

Inflammatory U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, R-San Antonio, suggested during a talk-show appearance this week that the COVID-19 pandemic is a hoax perpetrated by Democrats and the media.

During a chat with right-wing radio host Steve Deace, Roy accused shadowy forces of ginning up fear of the coronavirus to damage the GOP in the fall election.

"It is all about November and all about reclaiming power in November," said Roy, a former staffer for Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas. "And I think on November 4, there'll be a magic awakening on how we suddenly beat the virus."

Roy added that he's asking the White House and his colleagues to hold hearings to "shine a light on the absolute fraud being perpetrated on the American people of fear."

5. Well, the GOP did screw up the responses to the CV epidemic to begin w/, didn't they? After all,

everybody has trump's comments that the number of CV cases was roughly 15 and quickly going to zero, and rump said that the CV was a hoax too. Idiots. Trying to shift blame everywhere else but where it really belongs, rump and the GOP.

8. Hmmm...

What he just said actually makes the GOP look WORSE than the bad they already look like. Idiotic, conspiratorial statements just chip away at their cracking, thin facade to reveal what they really are.

That's was a counterproductive attempt and I wonder if he is even able to realize it? There are only just so many brain-dead MAGA zombies and they are already guzzling that kind of Kool-Aid.

9. I'm so tired of all these people trying to make trump & Co look bad

Tens of thousands in the US and around the world dying just to make god-sent trump look bad. If it wasn’t for all those people getting sick and dying and losing their jobs you’d all see how great Donald has been doing. He is treated so unfairly; no one gave him credit when he passed his cognitive test with flying colors, so few in America (at least in the Republican Party) could have done so well. He even remembered the five words long after the test and repeated them to various reporters. Why wasn’t he glorified for being able to do that? It’s because of the lame stream media that he isn’t shown to be the great leader he is, on those times when he shows up at the office rather than the golf course. And Fauci gets credit while trump does not. Really trump deserves the noble piece prize for all his work embarrassing the US worldwide. No president in history has ever affected worldwide opinion like trump has.

10. He could not be more wrong, corona virus is the banana peal to human-nature's pratfall

Good Lord, dud(e)!
Covid-19 is not a world-wide anti-republican hoax in response to trumpian level stupidity.

The reality is that corona virus is a part of nature's manifestation, like dinosaurs and republicans.
And like fire, flood, hurricane, and Uncle Herb, a virus doesn't give a shite about politics

Theology fails to teach that the one true God-Almighty, whom many proclaim, is a comedian.
The creation is served up by a trickster God who is enjoying the slapstick of our pratfalls.

15. Clockmaker and clock, the sound, the listener, the viewer, the sight, the waker, sleeper, dreamer

SHE is the intelligence, the design, the fabricator, the material; as though hidden in plain sight, the sight, sound, smell, taste and touch, the seer, the hearer, the enjoy-er of all senses; as though obvious in all Conscious-Being, SHE is the mother, patient, kind, relentless in wiping the snot of ignorance from 'Knows-it"s.

SHE is the know-er, the known and the only way to know, the limitless center of all but never contained within the all.

All theology is limited and thus sees not the sought.

12. Yeah

just like the Moon landing. Except that there are over four times as many involved in the conspiracy.

13. Guys like this should be forced to dig every Covid grave in Texas

With a spade. Despicable, self-serving a-holes.
