Texas Rep. Chip Roy is one of the angriest humans I've ever seen or heard of. He's on the wrong side of every issue and he knows it deep down in that small heart of his.
He's angry because he knows he's wrong.

Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."
