Chip Roy RIPS Biden official's threat to send US troops to war with Russia

Tucker Carlson has gone viral for claiming that Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin threatened congressmembers by saying if they don’t approve another $60 billion for Ukraine, “We’ll send your uncles, cousins, and sons to fight Russia.”

Chip Roy was there, and he has the truth.

“In a briefing the other day, the secretary alluded to saying, ‘You know, if you guys don’t do this, effectively we’re going to be committing American troops to war,’” Roy tells Glenn Beck.

If you want to keep an open mind and believe that the secretary of defense wouldn’t say something like that, he may have meant we’ll be drawn into a war if we don’t push back on Putin.

And if that were the case, Roy’s answer would be the same.

A fat, resounding, “No.”

“If you keep carrying out your incompetent policies where you refuse to promote American energy, where you refuse to actually sanction, for example, Iran. You allow Iran to provide oil to China. You take all of the positions that are empowering our enemies,” he continues, adding, “then you say we need to fund a proxy war to stop those enemies or you’re going to send our men and women to war.”

The Senate Armed Services Committee also once passed a provision in the yearly NDAA bill that would require young women to register for the draft.

“They wanted to draft your daughters,” Roy says. “Which I proudly stood up and stopped.”

Roy doesn’t plan on giving an inch when it comes to Ukraine spending.

“We will not even remotely consider Ukraine funding until the border’s secure,” Roy says, noting that’s Mike Johnson’s position as well.

“I hope he sticks to that,” Roy adds.
