Rep. Jeff Hurd has been refusing to serve as a check on Trump’s lawless actions and ethical violations. He’s been supporting keeping the Epstein files from the public. He’s been voting for policies that hurt his constituents instead of help them. People have been wondering why on Earth he’s been acting that way when he was sent to Congress to help his constituents.
On October 25th the answer to that question became clear: Hurd is not in Congress to help his constituents. He’s there to suck up to Trump.
Hurd voted to cut taxes on the wealthiest Americans at the expense of average Americans in his district. He voted kick hundreds of thousands of people off their Medicaid coverage, cut food assistance to hungry families and make it harder for married women to vote. Now he’s refusing restore Affordable Care Act subsidies that Republicans slashed with their Big, Ugly Bill. Hurd’s inaction on health insurance subsidies will make thousands of his constituents’ health insurance bills double next year. That’s hurting people, and lots of them.
Hurd has been voting repeatedly to hurt his constituents, make their lives harder and more expensive, make their health worse and make them hungrier. Now it’s clear why he’s doing it: to curry the favor of convicted felon/sexual abuser President Trump.
He is a useless idiot and a traitor, serving his orange master. Helpless Hurd!
I disagree, Anne. Hurd isn’t doing it to suck up to trump, he’s doing it because he’s too much of a coward to stand up to the orange menace.
