U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, whose district includes San Antonio, was one two Trump allies who in a string of text messages leading up to the Jan. 6 Capitol attack first encouraged the White House's bid to overturn the 2020 election then warned against it,CNN's story, based on messages obtained by the House select committee examining the insurrection, examines texts sent by Roy and U.S. Sen. Mike Lee of Utah, both Republicans, to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows.
“We’re driving a stake in the heart of the federal republic,” Roy said in a Jan. 1 text to Meadows. According to CNN, the text was first released by the select committee but it hasn't been reported until now that Roy was its author. Lee's text messages cited by CNN show a similar about-face on the legal challenges to Biden's legitimate victory in the election.Following the Jan. 6 insurrection, Roy texted Meadows,"This is a shitshow. Fix this now."
The congressman on Dec. 31 appeared to fully back away from Trump's bid to overturn the election results:"If we substitute the will of states through electors with a vote by congress every 4 years… we have destroyed the electoral college… Respectfully.”
