The Texas congressman browbeat the secretary of Homeland Security at a Thursday hearing.
FILE -- Rep. Chip Roy speaks to reporters at the Capitol in Washington, Dec. 2, 2021. Senator Mike Lee and Roy, once backers of President Donald J. Trump’s claims of a stolen election, became convinced they were groundless and urged his top aide to change course, according to text messages authenticated by The New York Times. Chip Roy earned his Thursday-night guest spot on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show.
Roy’s rage was genuine. At the same time, it was a practiced and calculated ploy to get border hawks — including Carlson — all fired up. Surely, Roy understands that the use of Title 42 is causing asylum seekers to make repeated efforts to cross the border when they get rebuffed. It ultimately induces some to make extreme, dangerous treks, such as the ones that produced the casualties he is now lamenting.
He showed no similar inclination, however, to hold his fellow Republican, former President Donald Trump, accountable for the fact that in 2020, Trump’s final year in office, drug-overdose deaths in this country skyrocketed to a single-year high of 93,000.
