The Republican presidential candidates descended on Iowa on Friday. And while they all managed to avoid speaking the truth about Donald Trump and all his woes, Will Hurd took the high road, spoke the truth and paid for it with boos from a Republican audience that clearly want their candidates to tell them lies, tell them sweet little lies.
“One of the things we need in our elected leaders: To tell the truth, even if it’s not popular,” Hurd said, he continued. “Donald Trump is not running for president to make America great again. Donald Trump is not even running to represent the people that voted for him in 2016 and in 2020, Donald Trump is running for president to stay out of prison,” the former Texas congressman said as scattered boos are heard from attendees.
“I know, the truth is hard,” Hurd told the crowd. “But if we elect Donald Trump we are willingly giving Joe Biden four more years in the White House.”
