L.A. ICE Protests
This Would Never Happen in Texas!!!
Says Rep. Wesley Hunt

The chaos erupting in L.A. is less about politics and more about a serious leadership problem, according to a Texas congressman.
Rep. Wesley Hunt didn’t hold back on “TMZ Live” Tuesday — telling us the federal government had to deploy 700 Marines and thousands of National Guard troops to restore order in the City of Angels … because it’s all about protecting American streets from looking like a war zone.
Wesley makes it clear to us this isn’t about red vs. blue states — it’s about who’s actually leading with backbone, and in his eyes, Texas is setting the bar.
Catch the clip … ‘cause he reminded us that while Texas had protests over George Floyd, there was no rioting, no looting, and no buildings torched — and he credits that to strong leadership and respect for the rule of law … and mentions the state’s gun culture as well.
He adds that the looting often ends up hurting Black and brown communities the most — the very people the protests claim to support.
So what’s the answer? Watch the full clip — because Wesley doesn’t mince words!
