Texas MAGA loon Rep. Chip Roy is mad at the “swamp Republicans” because nobody “fact checked” Katie Britt’s speech.

Better be careful with that fact checking stuff, Republicans, it’s a slippery slope. Start fact-checking and before you know it you’ll realize your entire world view is based on lies.

@Green_Footballs He knows full well that what they say has nothing to do with ‘facts’ but with ‘effectiveness’. Fact checking went out with Goldwater

I think Chip Roy means "Bullshit Detector" when he says, "fact checked," and even then, it fails most times.

I'm just glad to hear that the MAGA silo is not so tight that it kept them from learning about the lie.

Very surprised, but glad.

@Green_Footballs He’s mad that it was so easy to prove her theatrics a lie. He would have said nothing if the story had been accepted without fact-checking.

If they fact checked trump's speeches, he'd have nothing to say.

More here on how the odious Chip Roy exemplifies Republicans who stoke rage amongst their rural constituents but do little to meet their actual needs:

@jemmesedi @Green_Footballs This is how I feel about the Conservative Party in Canada. They know their western base will vote for them regardless, so they don't need to give them anything policy-wise.

@Green_Footballs @jemmesedi “get better republicans” is not a realistic solution.

@Green_Footballs She knew when she gave the speech that she was lying (by omission perhaps but still lying) about the sex trafficking victim. And some women in situations like hers who were abused in other countries were granted asylum here, something Republicans want to abolish.
