Chip Roy was all nuance Rep. Chip Roy, confronted with having to vote up or down on the president’s impeachment, went all nuanced. Roy did disapprove of the president’s having whipped his horde “into a frenzy.” But Roy would have preferred to vote to impeach the president for another stunning example of anti-democratic conduct: pressuring Mike Pence to magic away the results of the election. Apparently, now Roy thinks he can have this cake and eat it, too. He imagines he can sleep at night, having spoken out, but also point Republican voters to his “no” vote on impeachment.
