Wednesday, Texas Republican Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) referred to his colleague Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) as a “huge pain in the arse” and suggested a military-style beating.
Jackson was allegedly questioned at an event for Representative Mike Bost (R-IL) regarding allegations that Roy might attempt to remove House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) from his position.
“I love Chip Roy, but Chip Roy is a major pain in the ass for all of us a few times,” Jackson said in response to a question.
He then went on to suggest a “code red” as a potential solution for Roy’s behavior.

Roy refused to rule out the possibility of removing Johnson from his position as House speaker over a government expenditure bill last month.
