Rep. Will Hurd On Why He’s Leaving Congress | All In | MSNBC
Folks ignore the 🤡trolls🤡Register and Vote Blue! Thank you 😊.
I would add to vote with your hearts in the primaries, then vote blue in the general election.
Remember to vote for your House Rep and Senate. Also, vote for your local reps and pay attention to the questions in the ballot too, they are super important.
Yeah, that whole administration is a joke.
If you want to help your country, start by speaking out against Trump
Join the thousands of Psychiatrists, the thousands of scientists, the millions of voters and the hundreds of nations around the world and declare this moron as insane NOT a geriatric with dementia, He hhas probably been suffering with dementia for decades but this is now downright insanity
@Rune – Thorne At least one decent republican with common sense. He should have stayed in the congress to oppose the other fascist, anti America republicans.
I hope for a democratic president and a big democratic congress majority to save the liberal west from Putin´s ambition to turn us into fascist dictatorships. Donald and the no longer democratic Republican Party is helping him. It is just unbelievable and very frightening.

@karin backstrom , Thank you, I agree! It is indeed very frightening! For the first half of his Presidency, to the rest of the world, he was but a minor nuisance, and a complete laughing stock. He was mostly dangerous within the U.S.. Now it’s starting to spill out onto the world, and we’re going to be dealing with the consequences of his policies for at least decades. I wish we could get our s*it together, and get that man out of office!
MarcusTv No, speak out against republicans, not just one person. Even know that one person is a lunatic.
Another one bites the dust because of SpankyPants. Will Hurd should have condemned & spoken out about SpankyPants a long time a go.
Thank you. This Dude that’s acting like a honorable person also voted against Congress being able to have access to Trump’s tax returns. He was as much a trump partisan as anyone else until he was simply physically unable. F Him!!! And good riddance
By the time the elections are being started he will have to trawl for replacement staff in the Russian Times!!
Actually he should have never joined or stayed in the Republican party. He knows who Republicans are. But yet he stayed in. He’s leaving Congress is he leaving Reps too?
When the cartels have undetectable drones, submarines, and tunnels let along trucker and people, a wall is pointless. Technology helped to catch a submarine carrying thousands of pounds of cocaine recently. People running through the middle of a desert can only carry so much.
*And ladies and gentlemen, we now see that Will Hurd is one of the few Republicans who actually has a spine*
@Tony Colucci Donald lies several times a day, not one word he says is true. Donald does not care about America, he has done nothing but destroying it: The economy, he took over a strong economy from Obama, who inherited a mess from Bush, which lead to a global severe recession . Now the stupid, incompetent Donald is destroying it with his insane, constantly escalating trade war. The environment and climate change: The greedy Donald only cares about how much money he can squeeze out of the earth, no consideration about the health of all people on this planet. Climate change is of no interest for this lunatic. This “stable genius” who “knows the best words, better than anybody else” denies science. All other countries have programs for preventing more damage than already done. Not Donald! No universal health care and medicare, let people suffer and die. What does he care? Donald is investigated in a N Y court for several crimes: tax fraud, tax evasion, theft (he stole money from his charity foundation) and obstruction of justice. Proud of your dear leader? Donald has an international reputation for being insane, completely unfit and incompetent, a liar and a threat to western democracy. Don’t you believe anything else!

He should have done what Justin Amash did and criticised Trump and his worst behaviour and policies, then announced that he is now an Independent.
@Nick Chris and the list goes on and on .
@karin backstrom Great commentary and so true
Maybe you also get an offer that he wants to buy Sweden lol
OK, so a lot of the drugs are coming across the border at checkpoints… but a serious Helluva Lot of the really dangerous destructive drugs are coming through Perdue Pharma, Johnson & Johnson, Endo Health, etc.
Agreed. Tens of thousands of Americans lost to the epidemic, but hey, they made a LOT of money.
So true !
Some of those ranchers have owned their land for hundreds of years. Also there is a Native American tribe whose land is along the border.
Official *Trump’s Border Wall Team* t-shirts:
Front: “I lied, cheated, and stole for Donald Trump, and all I got was a prison sentence!”
Back: “All because I was dumb enough to believe he’d actually pardon me. FML”
Hurd seems like an ok dude
And end the failed war on drugs and take the distribution of drugs away from the criminals
Dangerous drugs are being mailed into the US from China. How will the wall stop that?
@Will Hurd .. Thanks for speaking the truth (that we already know) .. Thanks for real … But retirement isn’t going to help your Districts or the Country … you should stay and fight!!!
I respect Will Hurd, but he’s just off to the K street crowd, and for that, he can’t be forgiven. His mama told him not to be a part of the problem, well…?
great video, ty mr hayes and rep hurd! sorry to see you going rep hurd, you are needed there also. your decency and intelligence during hearings were impressive and refreshing. couldn’t jordan or meadows or king, etc, leave instead?
Remember Albert Einstein was also an immigrant. If not for him, we would have lost World War II.
As long as u remain a Repugnicant, u are supporting Trump.
He should start by FAST TRACKING GETTING rid of STEVE KING! And Mitch! GRAHAM! The list goes on! These types make humanity look TOUCHED!
Mr., Hurd needs to up his political history knowledge. The Republican Party is in no way the party of Lincoln today, it is the party of the new Confederacy, the party of white nationalism. It has been since the mid-1960s. The party he thinks he is part of doesn’t exist anymore.
Kim Jon-un wants to buy Texas. And Melania. “How much for the two?”
