Roy slams fellow Hill Republicans who back omnibus spend bill full of 'woke garbage'

 Texas Rep. Chip Roy on Thursday criticized fellow congressional Republicans who support the $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill that he says includes "woke garbage."

  • The spending measure passed the Senate on Thursday afternoon - after a partisan compromise.
  • Republicans got into the measure an extension on the Trump-era efforts to limit immigration amid the pandemic, while Democrats got additional money for the Homeland Security Department in exchange for voting in favor of extending the immigration ban under the decades-old health-safety law known as Title 42.

Roy took specific aim at the FBI, saying that the agency was working with executives at Twitter on censoring or limiting content deemed mis-dis-information.

  • "In this bill, there is a plus-up in spending to the FBI," Roy said. "There's more money for Homeland Security with specific language that prohibits the use of money to secure the border."
