Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick: "Chip Roy claims that everyone else is lying. He says he has never been anti-Trump or anti-MAGA. You decide."

Rep. Chip Roy: “I've introduced legislation on multiple fronts to freeze immigration, to ban people from coming in who are adherent to Sharia law, to ensure that we can denaturalize and remove people who are spreading the Islamification of Texas."
