During his interview on the Tim Pool show, Texas Republican Rep. Wesley Hunt criticizes Democrats for their unjustified obsession with demonizing Republicans as being racist.
By winning in a largely white district and beating other white competitors exclusively on the basis of the content of his views rather than the color of his skin, Hunt’s election success destroyed racial stereotypes.
Republicans have long been the target of bogus claims of racism from the Democratic Party; this strategy became more pronounced throughout Obama’s administration. But since then, the Republican Party has diversified more in terms of race.

Rep. Wesley Hunt Rips Democrat Attacks Against GOP: ‘You Can’t Call Us Racist’
In a clip from Friday’s Timcast IRL that saw over one million views as of Monday evening, Hunt accused Democrats of having “gotten away with painting the Republican Party as being racist.”
“And then someone like me comes around and decides to run for Congress,” he said.
Noting how his experience runs counter to that depiction, Hunt turned to his own district in Houston.
“I live in a district that President Trump would have won by 23 points [and] I ended up winning by 30 points,” he stated. “And in the Republican primary, I beat out 9 white guys. In the general election, I beat out a white guy by 30 points … I outperformed the president … and it’s a white-majority district.”…
“I get to wake up every day and live Martin Luther King’s dream: I’m literally being judged by the content of my character, not by the color of my skin,” he added.
