<p>Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-TX) made it clear that he had no patience left for anyone who attempted to make every issue into a divide along racial lines.</p>
<p>Hunt delivered his remarks during Wednesday&#8217;s hearing on <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/terror-watch-list-arrests-at-southern-border-soar-under-biden-administration/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">border security</a>, taking particular issue with President Joe Biden&#8217;s administration for labeling Republicans as &#8220;racists&#8221; because they objected to <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/desantis-shreds-biden-over-bidens-border-crisis-this-is-an-intentional-policy-rooted-in-an-open-borders-ideology/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">open border policies</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Last time I checked, I’ve been black for a long time. I’ve been a minority for a long time,&#8221; Hunt tweeted along with a clip of his remarks. &#8220;Am I racist for calling what’s happening at the southern border, an invasion? No. I’m a Congressman who is tired of this administration using racism as a scapegoat for everything.&#8221;</p>

<p>&mdash; Rep. Wesley Hunt Press Office (@RepWPH) <a href="https://twitter.com/RepWPH/status/1620885287189762050?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 1, 2023</a></p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;This is actually not about race. This is an issue on public safety,&#8221; Hunt said, adding that his concerns about the amount of deadly fentanyl that was crossing the southern border had nothing to do with race.</p>
<p>&#8220;Fentanyl doesn&#8217;t care where you&#8217;re from,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Fentanyl doesn&#8217;t care about race. Fentanyl kills indiscriminately.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hunt then pivoted to address how <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/migrant-tsunami-will-worsen-due-to-title-42-rollback-former-trump-and-biden-border-patrol-chief-says/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">border policies</a> had changed since Biden had taken office — conceding first that there had been problems prior to Biden&#8217;s arrival but then pointing out how much worse the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border had become under his watch.</p>
<p>Part of the problem, he explained, was the Biden administration&#8217;s penchant for using race &#8220;as a scapegoat for everything.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;As somebody that wants to make sure that we do attack racist issues when they do occur, we can&#8217;t be the boy who cried wolf and blame racism all the time,&#8221; Hunt added. &#8220;I am here to hold this administration accountable to understand that there are issues of race that need to be addressed — and sir, this ain&#8217;t one of them.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hunt expounded on the topic further during a Thursday appearance on Fox News.</p>
