Rep. Chip Roy, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Texas' 21st district, has shared a series of historical quotations on his official press office's social media account. The tweets reflect sentiments from a significant period in American history and are attributed to an address given in New York City.

On November 28, 2024, Rep. Chip Roy's Press Office tweeted: "Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789." This quotation appears to reference a formal proclamation or declaration made during that era.

In another tweet posted on the same day, the Press Office quoted: "and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best." This statement emphasizes themes of providence and prosperity.

The final tweet from November 28 reads: "to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord--To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us--" It highlights ideals related to governance, peace, religion, virtue, and scientific advancement.
