**Viral News Snippet:**
**BREAKING** – A video allegedly showing Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) aggressively shutting down a *female* Capitol staffer during a closed-door budget meeting is spreading like wildfire across social media—but fact-checkers say the clip is **heavily doctored**. The original footage, from a C-SPAN hearing on border security, shows Roy calmly asking for a point of order, not yelling at anyone. The audio was spliced from a separate, unidentified argument. **Rating: FAKE.** However, a real and unrelated controversy is brewing: documents released by a watchdog group claim Roy’s office used taxpayer funds to boost his personal social media presence—a charge his team denies as a “partisan hit job.”
