Has anyone else noticed that Rep. Chip Roy seems to have an anger management issue? I can't tell since so much of what Republicans do is theater. (#TX21)
(For greater context, his mentor/former employer is Ted Cruz, a man known for lying and preening for the benefit of Fox News.)

#TX21 election results, 2020 & 2022
************************************
Chip Roy (R) . . . . . . . . . . . .52.4%
Wendy Davis (D) . . . . . . . . 45.7%
Chip Roy (R) . . . . . . . . . . . 62.9%
Claudia Zapata (D) . . . . . 37.1%
The Texas GOP gerrymandered the shit out of our House map, and this is the result. Wendy Davis did not win, but this right here, the 2022 race against Zapata, is what you call a whomping. We've been whomped, and there is no remedy in sight.
