Rep-elect Chip Roy, R-Texas, maintained his opposition to Kevin McCarthy’s speakership bid<\/a> on Tuesday, vowing not to succumb to “threats” he said he received from GOP colleagues angered by his refusal to support the GOP House leader.<\/p>\n

McCarthy fell short of securing the 218 votes required to become the next House speaker in the second and third rounds of voting on the House floor Tuesday afternoon, despite major concessions<\/a> to appease members of the House Freedom Caucus, who argue he has not proven to be worthy to be speaker of the new Republican majority.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In an interview “America Reports” ahead of the third round of voting, Roy revealed that he and others were threatened by McCarthy ally Mike Rogers, R-Ala., during the GOP conference that morning over their withheld support for the House GOP leader. The meeting was described by other lawmakers as “hostile<\/a>.” Roy said he believes McCarthy “lost votes” because of it.<\/p>\n

“Mike Rogers threatened to say he was going to kick those of us off of any\u00a0committees who dared to challenge\u00a0the coronation of the speaker.\u00a0And the reality is, that was a\u00a0threat.\u00a0And it was not received well by a\u00a0lot of people in the room,” Roy said.<\/p>\n

“We will not back down until we\u00a0get in a room and decide how we\u00a0will be able to stand up and\u00a0fight for the American people no\u00a0matter who the speaker is.” he added.<\/p>\n

Roy, who has been an outspoken opponent of McCarthy’s<\/a> ascension to the speakership, slammed the GOP leader as a member of the Washington establishment who has betrayed the party at times to vote with a Democrat minority. Instead, Roy said he will support a GOP lawmaker who has a demonstrated history of standing up to “the swamp.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“What I\u2019m not going to do is\u00a0blindly do what the swamp does.\u00a0My constituents didn\u2019t\u2019 send me\u00a0here to do that,” Roy said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Is anybody listening to this actually happy with what Congress is doing?\u00a0Is anybody out there?\u00a0Are you?\u00a0Anybody in America, do you think Congress is doing a\u00a0good job?\u00a0The answer is no.”<\/p>\n

“So, why would we embrace the\u00a0status quo? Why would we keep doing the same thing\u00a0over and over again?\u00a0That is what is happening in the\u00a0room.\u00a0And this morning, a group of\u00a0voters threatened some of us and they lost\u00a0votes on that,” Roy stressed.<\/p>\n

“This is about changing this\u00a0town,”\u00a0he added. “I was not sent here for second\u00a0place.\u00a0I was sent here to\u00a0get the job done and we need the\u00a0leadership and tools to get it\u00a0done.”<\/p>\n

McCarthy won 203 votes in the first two rounds of voting but needs 218 to win the speaker\u2019s gavel. Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, won 19 votes for speaker in the second round, and Republicans in the House Freedom Caucus wanted to expand that number in the third round and show other GOP lawmakers that support can be built around someone other than McCarthy, R-Calif.<\/p>\n

Jordan was nominated in the third round by Roy, who said the House has rarely met in such large numbers for such a long time to debate.<\/p>\n

“What we’re doing is exercising our right to vote and debate and have a discussion about the future of this country through the decision of choosing a speaker,” Roy said on the House floor. “I want the tools or I want the leadership to stop the swamp from running over the average American every single day.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
