‘I’ve Been Black For A Long Time’: Wesley Hunt Torches Biden Admin For Making Everything About Race

Rep. Wesley Hunt, R-TX, made it clear that anyone who tried to make every issue into an issue along racial lines would be unable to have his patience.

Hunt delivered his remarks during Wednesday’s hearing on Border security, taking particular issue with President Joe Biden’s administration for labeling Republicans as “racists” They objected because Open border policies.

“Last time I checked, I’ve been black for a long time. I’ve been a minority for a long time,” Hunt tweeted along with a clip from his remarks. “Am I racist for calling what’s happening at the southern border, an invasion? No. I’m a Congressman who is tired of this administration using racism as a scapegoat for everything.”

“This is actually not about race. This is an issue on public safety,” Hunt stated that his concern about deadly fentanyl crossing the southern border was not racially motivated.

“Fentanyl doesn’t care where you’re from,” He went on. “Fentanyl doesn’t care about race. Fentanyl kills indiscriminately.”

Hunt then turned to address how Border policies had changed since Biden had taken office — conceding first that there had been problems prior to Biden’s arrival but then pointing out how much worse the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border had become under his watch.

Part of the problem, he explained, was the Biden administration’s penchant for using race “as a scapegoat for everything.”

“As somebody that wants to make sure that we do attack racist issues when they do occur, we can’t be the boy who cried wolf and blame racism all the time,” Hunt was added. “I am here to hold this administration accountable to understand that there are issues of race that need to be addressed — and sir, this ain’t one of them.”

Fox News on Thursday featured Hunt discussing the topic more.
