In a recent interview, Republican Congressman Chip Roy of Texas expressed his confidence in Governor Ron DeSantis as a leader who will deliver victory for the American people. Roy, currently in Iowa with DeSantis, dismissed the significance of polls that showed DeSantis trailing behind former President Donald Trump in the state. Roy emphasized that Iowans take their role in determining the next president seriously and believe that polls will not decide the outcome. He stated that all roads to the White House lead through Iowa.
Roy praised DeSantis for his track record of delivering on his promises and his commitment to conservative principles. He argued that Iowa is currently in need of strong conservative leadership to address the issues of open borders, inflation, and global instability. Roy criticized another potential candidate, Nikki Haley, accusing her of being more interested in appeasing Wall Street donors than in providing effective conservative leadership. He also expressed concerns about Haley's stance on immigration and her support for inviting individuals from Gaza affiliated with Hamas into the United States.
While acknowledging that Haley is a friend and that he would support the Republican nominee, Roy argued that DeSantis is the true conservative leader needed in the White House. He highlighted DeSantis's track record in Florida and his determination to confront the woke mob and corporate influence. Roy dismissed the attack ads against DeSantis, suggesting that they were a sign of his front-runner status in Iowa.
When questioned about Haley's alleged sympathy toward Gaza, Roy criticized her stance and called it dangerous and troubling. He pointed out the need for a secure border and expressed concern over the exploitation of Israeli borders by individuals connected to Hamas.
The congressman also addressed the role of Qatar in hostage negotiations and its support of Hamas. Roy stated that leadership was needed to end the current situation and criticized any attempts to apologize for Qatar's actions, emphasizing the importance of projecting strength in the world.
In conclusion, Roy reaffirmed his belief that DeSantis is the leader to deliver victory for America. The congressman highlighted his support for DeSantis and his confidence that the people of Iowa recognize his positive message and leadership qualities.
