Chip Roy rips Republicans for partying at Trump's resort instead of 'doing our damn job'

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) refused to attend a Republican retreat at President Donald Trump's Doral resort in Florida and said the party should be "doing our damn job" instead.

In a statement on Tuesday, Roy blasted the lavish annual Republican policy retreat at Doral.

"If you're asking me to go spend money to go sit in a resort rather than doing our damn job in Washington with a plan that we put forward, well, you've got no plan," Roy said in a statement obtained by Fox News. "No, I'm not going to do that. I'm going to go be a husband, a father and a kid and go listen to my constituents."

"They'll find out when it comes to the day that we're voting on whether they're listening to us or not, because, look, I'm not going to back down on honoring the commitment that I made to the people that I represent to reduce the deficit, to truly secure the border," he added.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) responded by insisting "everyone should be here" at Doral.

"Everyone should be here," she opined. "And then the second part is there should be a plan in place. So leadership should be bringing a plan forward that we can all start getting on board with. So there's two sides of the coin there. We have a very responsible job to do for the American people, and we need everyone on board and working to get that done."
