It appears a memo of some sort went out last night in response to Rep. Chip Roy’s questioning of abortion provider Dr. Yashica Robinson at yesterday’s House hearing:
Abortion doctor accuses Rep. Chip Roy of using ‘inflammatory language’ for confronting her with reality https://t.co/IjtiMNDFrI

From Mary Trump, Rep. Roy is “a horrible human being”:
Listen to Dr. Robinson @unbossedmd bc she is awesome. Don't listen to Chip Roy bc he is a horrible human being. https://t.co/6ricahMqrr

Julia Ioffe added, “It’s not a coincidence that the same men who want to take away a woman’s bodily autonomy are the same ones who do not recognize their professional credentials and do not let them speak”:

And the NYT’s Sarah Wildman said the exchange spiked her heart rate:
I find this incredibly difficult to watch. Heart rate spiking. https://t.co/XNLiagUwZn

Yes, it’s pretty frustrating when someone aborts what you have to say in the middle of a . . . statement:
This video offers very little information (on her) given that he did not let her speak

And we’re pretty sure Rep. Roy knows what abortion is about:
This whole thing makes me so angry. The disinformation. The inflammatory rhetoric. The lack of respect. @chiproytx You did not ask your questions in good faith. You lost an opportunity to learn about what abortion care is really about. Shame on you.

Actress Piper Perabo thinks Texans should vote Rep. Roy out because of it (Rep. Roy defeated celebrity Dem candidate Wendy Davis in 2020 52%-45.4%):
.@chiproytx is disrespectful and rude, that’s a polite way to say it. He should not represent the great people of #Texas.
He is up for re-election if you live in #TX21 please register to vote and vote him out. https://t.co/Vfk59iFm2c
Anyone can volunteer with @TX21Indivisible https://t.co/TiEBhgh1YF

This also happens in like EVERY hearing from both sides, but for some reason, THIS clip has brought out all the lib blue-checks:
It’s weird that the same people who bemoan lack of debate on college campuses refuse to let people that they ask questions of actually answer them https://t.co/mAnuLNmG4g

In other words, this means he’s over the target and they know it:
Lord, @chiproytx do you have to be so damn rude? https://t.co/fgs120XQtX
