If you ever entertained a nice thought about Texas Congressman Will Hurd, take it from your head and stomp on it. Until this week, we thought Hurd was a Republican, but a fairly decent man who wasn’t one of those crazy Republicans.
We were wrong with a big red X. We are lucky he’s leaving office.
Here’s his thoughts:
“While Hurd told The Post he objected to Trump’s racist tweets (“When you imply that because someone doesn’t look like you, in telling them to go back to Africa or wherever, you’re implying that they’re not an American and you’re implying that they have less worth than you”), he insists that he will still vote for him, the perfect pathetic encapsulation of Republicans’ moral vacuousness. They know he’s a racist, they know racism is despicable and anti-American, but, by gosh, he’s their man for president.”
So what Will is saying is that it’s okay if I’m an active raving racist just so long I also sell your vote to Russia, lie to the American people, steal the taxpayers blind with personal greed, and grab women by the pussy, you’ll vote for me.
“Perfect pathetic encapsulation of Republicans’ moral vacuousness.” Indeed.
