Rep Chip Roy was on “Fox News Sunday” with host Shannon Bream and shared of the heroism of the Texas floods. The flood zone is part of the Congressman’s district.
“Congressman, this is your district. How are people doing? There is still so much left unresolved and so much healing that will take a lifetime,” Bream asked.
“Thanks for all the outpouring of support and prayer from all over the country. I am deeply appreciative of the President of the United States coming to our district, coming to Kerrville on Friday. I was proud to be down there touring the grounds with him,” Roy said.
“I think the real story is not all the finger pointing that the media wants to point to, it’s the heroism of those who showed up,” Roy explained.
“It’s the heroism of all the first responders in Kerrville. The Sheriff, who is a good man and a good friend of mine,” Roy continued.
Congressman Roy also explained that faith has played a huge role in helping the community in Kerrville cope with the tragedy and has given the people hope to carry on.
“When you drive into Kerrville Shannon, there is an enormous cross on the hill. And if you ask me what the story of this whole tragedy is, it’s the cross and it’s the power of the cross that people, these families that have had a strong and enduring faith,” Roy explained.
“It is a powerful testimony to the gospel of Christ and how a community can come together in strength through tragedy, even as we mourn,” Roy said.
“Congressman, we have heard story after story of heroes there. You have mentioned so many of them from these camp counselors, to the first responders, to everyday Texans, who we know are just showing up with whatever they have,” Bream said.
Congressman Roy also said that donations were being accepted to help the flood victims.
“Please keep contributing, please keep the prayers coming. The outpouring of support has been extraordinary,” Roy said.
