that Republicans should not be"an asshole," arguing that his conservative colleagues shouldn't be homophobic, racist, misogynistic or any other negative stereotypes often associated with the party by left-wing critics.
"Look, we need to make sure the Republican party is growing," Hurd responded, pointing to Texas, which he said is increasingly becoming purple after long being seen as a red Republican stronghold."I've been telling people, if we want to keep the Republican party in Texas, the Republican party in Texas needs to start looking like Texas. And I think that this is — that goes for the rest of the country as well," he asserted.
As Hurd pointed out, he is the only African American currently serving in the House of Representatives. Prior to the most recent midterm election, Mia Love of Utah, the daughter of Haitian immigrants, also served as a Republican in the House along with Hurd from 2015 to January of this year. She was the first black woman of the GOP ever elected to Congress. There is also currently one African American Republican, Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina.
House Intelligence Committee member Representative Will Hurd listens to testimony from experts on the subject of"deep fakes," digitally manipulated video and still images, during a hearing on Capitol Hill on June 13 in Washington, D.C."Because Republicans never take minority communities into their home and citizens into their homes and into their hearts, they stay with Democrats," Love stated.
"I am unleashed, I am untethered and I am unshackled, and I can say exactly what's on my mind," she added.
Well!.....
Don’t you get it. You’re the token!
Encourage others to run and get involved in the process to represent and serve America
There are no REPUBLICANS in the House. Only Trumpanzees. Sad
Well maybe if Reps stopped trying to keep blacks from voting and being honestly represented, they could hear any good things you would do for them
TheBoltUpright HurdOnTheHill You shouldn’t be a Republican, at this point. Corruption. Degradation. Lies. Racism. Why haven’t you left the party yet. Greed? Why not? Fool
Texas Rep. Will Hurd: 'I shouldn't be the only African-American Republican in the House of Representatives' GOP: Who let of ‘you people’ into the house?
Then leave.
That statement also was is the reason why.
No thanks. One dummy is plenty!
But you are bc you act like a tool.
Pay attention to your party’s platform, demonic words and deeds and then maybe you’ll be moved to change parties
Switch your party...
The Republican Party is now the Trump Party & you choose to be one of the gang. 😡
He's right. There should be zero.
You’re the one who joined the racist party. Switch or go independent.
Yet, there you are; tolerating and condoning your party’s inhumane behavior. Don’t whine, it’s unbecoming.
You are uncle Tom and a traitor to your people because you know what they stand for AND YOU USED your COLOR to show the GOP ain't racist BUT THEY ARE
Mr Will Hurd should quit GOP and he should become a democrat where they don't DISCRIMINATE AFROAMERICANS!!
I'm surprised the R's let you in at all.
Like they want him in their party. Jeebus, the Republicans are noted for their racism. Where the heck has he been?
There's a lack of quality candidates among those of the GOP who opt to practice identity politics. Also, The Donald tends to damage the Republican brand
😂😂😂😂😂
He is a fool who doesn't know what his party stands for.
Don’t blame the GOP when liberals are the ones attacking any minority person that chooses to be conservative. They are threaten, called traitors and ridiculed for not being a Democrat.
And maybe not a Republican either.
He shouldn’t be in the House.
The Republican Party needs to start looking like Texas? Well, that is the problem with the GOP isn't it? It doesn't want to represent the people; it only wants to represent a very small subset of people (by manipulating a larger subset into believing they are represented.
The Democrat plantation has a monopoly
But you are. I wonder why that is.
But you are, and it says a lot about the republican party.
If the GOP ever gets away from its bigotry and fear mongering, maybe theyll be more attractive to the minorities they demonize.
