San Antonio congressman Chip Roy tweets about liberal 'replacements' [View all]

On Sunday, May 15, U.S. Rep. Chip Roy sent out a tweet directed at alleged "race-bating leftists," saying he prefers more "brown" people in Texas.

The Republican House Representative of Texas' 21st congressional district, which includes a large swath of Northside San Antonio, tweeted that he is "much more opposed" to "liberal white 'replacements'" coming to Texas. Instead, he tweeted, he would rather have legal "'brown' people you all like to endanger for your political games" in Texas.

He offered to swap 10 "brown" people for liberals.

It's unclear what Roy meant when he tweeted "replacements," but the White Supremacist conspiracy theory called the "great replacement" has been the talk of national media outlets and among social media.

The conspiracy theory was mentioned in the 180-page manifesto as one of the motivations of the white shooter behind the May 15 mass shooting at a supermarket in Buffalo that killed 10 people. The shooter targeted a store in a predominantly Black neighborhood and most of his victims were Black.
