Rep. Chip Roy, serving in the U.S. Congress for Texas’ 21st district since 2019, has expressed his views on several issues through a series of tweets. His office recently shared these perspectives on topics ranging from health policy to international relations.

On February 3, 2025, Rep. Chip Roy's press office tweeted about Bobby Kennedy Jr., stating "Bobby Kennedy Jr. understands this problem and wants to fix it. That is why he should be confirmed". The tweet also supported President Donald Trump's decision to select someone with a vision aimed at aiding Americans in reclaiming their health.

Later that day, another tweet highlighted the importance of designating cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs). According to the post dated February 3, 2025, "…Designation of cartels as [FTOs] enables a variety of things that were not possible before in fighting the cartels and given the nature of the threat [cartels] pose”.

On February 4, 2025, Rep. Chip Roy's press office criticized the United Nations Human Rights Council via Twitter. The post stated that "The UN 'Human Rights' Council is a joke that we never should have never given money or credibility to in the first place." It praised @POTUS for deciding to withdraw and urged Congress to pass Rep Roy's bill (HR 400), introduced initially in 2021, to make this withdrawal permanent.
