U.S. Rep. Chip Roy went on CNN Wednesday night to argue the GOP deserves two more years in power. Unfortunately for the Republican congressman, whose district includes part of San Antonio, he ended up sounding an awful lot like Joe Biden in the process.<\/p>\n

During an appearance on news program The Source, Roy urged voters to give President Donald Trump and his congressional allies more time to deliver on their yet-unfulfilled promises to lower prices on everything from groceries to gas, the Daily Beast reports<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s finish the job,\u201d Roy declared.<\/p>\n

But here\u2019s the wrinkle \u2014 aside from prices still being sky-high. \u201cLet\u2019s finish the job\u201d was Biden\u2019s campaign slogan.<\/p>\n

And CNN host Kaitlan Collins wasn\u2019t about to let Roy forget it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, you keep saying \u2018finish the job.\u2019 That was President Biden\u2019s line,\u201d Collins said, according to the Daily Beast. \u201cIt didn\u2019t work.\u201d<\/p>\n

D\u2019oh!<\/p>\n

Readers may recall Biden repeatedly invoked that phrase during his ill-fated 2024 reelection campaign. You know, the one he ended after flaming out during a disastrous debate performance<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Even after Collins called out Roy for repeating the slogan, the congressman doubled down, arguing that Republicans have \u201conly\u201d had 21 months to deliver on Trump\u2019s promises, the Daily Beast Reports. In case anyone needs a reminder about those promises, they included cutting Americans\u2019 energy costs in half within 12 months and quickly end inflation.<\/p>\n

D\u2019oh! on repeat.<\/p>\n

The awkward CNN exchange comes as Republicans face what\u2019s likely to be a bruising midterm election and Roy packs his bags to leave Washington. The hard-right lawmaker lost his bid for the Republican nomination for Texas attorney general earlier this year.<\/p>\n
