Rep. Chip Roy took to social media Thursday to pillory members of his own party for seeking to protect the Inflation Reduction Act’s clean energy tax credits.

“In April 2023, every GOP Rep. that signed this letter voted to REPEAL the IRA’s ‘climate’ subsidies. Now, they’re [sic] want to preserve so-called ‘green’ handouts to Democrats’ corporate cronies,” he wrote on the platform X, formerly Twitter.
“The GOP must ignore K-Street lobbyists and refuse to fund the climate corporate cronies destroying our country,” Roy added.
