Rep. Chip Roy, serving in the U.S. Congress representing Texas' 21st district since 2019, has expressed concerns regarding the allocation of taxpayer dollars by federal agencies, particularly USAID. His office released a series of tweets on February 11, 2025, highlighting these issues and advocating for legislative action.
In a tweet posted at 15:34 UTC on February 11, Rep. Chip Roy's press office stated that the "@DOGE team has uncovered blatant corruption of your taxpayer dollars — especially at USAID." The post urged Republicans not to "reward bad behavior by federal government agencies with more funding." "Original quotation"
Later that day, at 17:34 UTC, another tweet from Rep. Roy's office alleged that "USAID funded the college tuition for a TERRORIST with YOUR tax dollars." The post called for congressional action to pass H.R. 1123, a bill introduced by Rep. Roy and Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (RepMTG), aimed at abolishing USAID. "Original quotation"
A subsequent tweet was posted immediately after at 17:34 UTC without additional commentary or context but included a link to further information. "Original quotation"
