On July 15, Rep. Roy shared his perspective during a House GOP special order on the Hill Country Floods. He stated, “I view things through the lens of of the stories of heroism. The stories of courage. The lives that were saved. The people that were airlifted. The Coast Guard that responded.” This comment highlighted the efforts and bravery displayed during emergency responses to natural disasters.
The following day, on July 16, Rep. Roy commented on border security measures under the Trump administration: “Illegal border crossings hit a HISTORIC LOW in June under the Trump admin. It’s time Congress passes legislation to keep President Trump’s SUCCESSFUL border policies for good.” His statement called for legislative action to maintain these policies.
Later on July 16, Rep. Roy addressed public interest in documents related to Jeffrey Epstein: “What we need is the autopsy released, the full details surrounding the suicide, and the flight logs…the DOJ owes us sort of an explanation for what they are doing in light of the prosecution of Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwell.
