Rep. Roy to Newsmax: GOP Is Winning, Dems Just Stalling

With a government shutdown looming, Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, said on Newsmax on Tuesday that Democrats are picking a political fight over the proposed continuing resolution because they have “nothing to run on,” while Republicans are winning by advancing their policy agenda.

Roy accused Democrats of manufacturing a budget fight to cover up a lack of accomplishments, as Congress inched closer to a potential government shutdown Tuesday night.

Roy, a member of the House Rules and Budget Committees, on “The Record With Greta Van Susteren,” said Democrats are blocking progress on spending bills passed by the GOP-controlled House.
