Rising GOP Star Wesley Hunt Pushes Back Brilliantly Against Cancel Culture (Video)

Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-TX) has an impressive resume.  Hunt graduated from West Point in 2004 and served as an Apache helicopter pilot in the U.S. Army, and earned three master’s degrees from Cornell University.

Hunt joined “Overtime with Bill Maher” and pushed back when Maher tried to get him to agree with deploying cancel culture against historic figures for building names and statues. But Hunt pushed back.

Maher: I think Trump is putting the Robert E. Lee name back on buildings. Are you down with that?

Hunt: When I was at West Point, I actually lived in Robert E. Lee Barracks when I was there. As I said….

Maher: Robert E. Lee went to West Point?

Hunt: Yes, he did. That’s why the barracks were named after him. My brother, sister, and I all matriculated through West Point. We all graduated.

I’ll never forget walking under the threshold of Robert E. Lee Barracks to think to myself, ‘Damn, this is one hell of a country.’ Because only in America can someone like me walk into a building named after a Confederate general and then be a successful West Point graduate.

If we start changing the names on buildings, then every single building would be named Jesus Christ based on perfection. Let’s talk about where we come from.

Maher: Well……

Hunt: Well maybe not you, but to us.

Dave Barry: Moses…a lot of them…some of them would be Moses.

Hunt: Moses…depending where you’re at. I bring that up because I want to talk about the progress and the idea of us changing names on buildings actually doesn’t take harkens back to times where they weren’t as good. And statues, too. How can we not?

My wife is… I’ve been black my whole life. Yes. So far, still, my wife is white, and we have three biracial children, and I cannot wait to show them and take them to places that wasn’t always the case.

There was a time when your mother and daddy could not be married. My children are going to have the opportunity to be second-lining down in New Orleans, and then my wife is from Iowa. They’ll be on a farm with their grandfather in Iowa.

That is America.

I do not want to take down these statues and change the names of these buildings because they’re a reminder of what was.

If we don’t remember it, we are doomed to repeat it.
