WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. Representative Chip Roy, one of the most prominent hardline Republicans in Congress, pulls no punches when it comes to how frustrated he is about the $1.2 trillion spending package that lawmakers are working to pass before midnight on Friday. "Republicans should reject it," added the Texas Republican, vowing that he would not back the reelection campaigns of any fellow party member who votes for it. Roy is part of a small band of hardliners in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives who spent the last 14 months in a bare-knuckle effort to push Congress further to the right, railing against the Democratic-majority Senate and many of their House Republican colleagues.
