MIC DROP: Rep. @WesleyHuntTX FIRES BACK at Gavin Newsom’s “I’m like you” 960 SAT remark to a room full of Black voters. “Gavin, you’re not like me. I studied my butt off to get here!” “Under no circumstances are you going to just belittle us by assuming that all Black people have a 960 SAT and we could barely read.” “I had parents who believed in education. We had a sign in our house that said, ‘Jesus + education equals success.’” “There’s a reason why I earned three master’s degrees in four years from Cornell University. My brother is a Harvard Business School graduate. My sister has her master’s degree in Applied Mathematics. She was a West Point instructor while both my brother and I were cadets, and WE WERE BLACK doing it the entire time.” “And so when you say that I can’t read and I have a 960 SAT, the insinuation that you are putting on all Black people is that we are a monolith, that this is how you view us.” “I call it the soft bigotry of low expectations.” “I think about Hillary Clinton carrying hot sauce in her purse. I think about Joe Biden saying, ‘If you don’t vote for me, then you ain’t Black.’ I think about Kathy Hochul talking about ‘Black kids don’t even know what a computer is.’ And I see these kinds of things, and I just shake my head.” “I worked my butt off to get here. Hard work, grit, determination, and I’m standing on my own two feet as a Black man that represents a white majority district that President Trump would have won by 20 points, and I won by 25 points because I’m being judged not by the color of my skin, but by the content of my character.” -

Trump’s transportation secretary says on CNN that Democrats just BLEW IT on “easy issues” when they refused to stand up — and voters noticed. Jake Tapper had no rebuttal as Sean Duffy handed Democrats a beating for a minute straight. “I think the question becomes, why doesn’t every Democrat stand up and go, ‘No, we want well-qualified drivers on American roads.’ That’s not partisan… I think those are easy issues, Jake. And I don’t think we saw Democrats stand up and support them.” “We got some applause for the U.S. Olympic hockey team, but that was probably one of the only bipartisan moments of the night, which I think is too bad.” “Again, if inflation’s down, Democrats should applaud it. If real incomes are up, Democrats should applaud it. Those are good things that we should support as Americans. “And just because Donald Trump’s in office doesn’t mean you have to sit on your hands. You should applaud that because that’s good for America.” -
