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.” -
