Rep. Chip Roy: "ANTIFA is a left-wing group that SHOULD be investigated for creating terror and putting law-abiding Americans in DANGER. Congress can back up the president's efforts with its own committee investigations."

Tarrant County GOP Chair Bo French: "The left freaking out about @jimmykimmel getting fired for saying something that was NOT TRUE is really something. Do they not remember when old Twitter suspended the President for saying things that were TRUE?"

Rep. Pat Fallon: "We must cut our dependence on China by utilizing our own wealth of critical minerals such as lithium."
