A stunning display of negligence by Republican Rep. Wesley Hunt nearly cost President Trump and the American people a critical victory on Venezuela war powers Thursday, proving once again that the MAGA movement must stay vigilant against weak-kneed Republicans who can't even show up to work.
Hunt's inexcusable 20-minute delay to the House chamber almost handed radical Democrats a devastating win that would have undermined Trump's authority to deal with the socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro. With razor-thin Republican majorities, every single vote matters – yet this so-called conservative couldn't be bothered to arrive on time for one of the most important votes of Trump's second term.
The close call exposes a disturbing pattern among establishment Republicans who pay lip service to supporting Trump while failing to deliver when it counts. While President Trump works tirelessly to restore American strength and credibility on the world stage, some GOP lawmakers are apparently too comfortable to treat their constitutional duties seriously.
Democrats Smell Blood in the Water
Make no mistake – the radical left was salivating at the chance to kneecap Trump's foreign policy agenda. Democrats have made it crystal clear they will obstruct every single initiative from the Trump-Vance administration, whether it's securing our border, ending endless wars, or confronting socialist dictators in our own hemisphere.
Venezuela's Maduro regime represents everything Trump ran against: corruption, authoritarianism, and the kind of socialist policies that Democrats want to import to America. The President needs full authority to deal with this threat, not Republican representatives who treat crucial votes like optional appointments.
"This is exactly why Patriots voted for decisive Republican majorities – not to watch our own party members fumble away victories through sheer incompetence," said one frustrated GOP activist.
Every American who voted to drain the swamp and restore Trump to power deserves better than Republicans who can't even show up on time. The MAGA movement didn't fight this hard to watch establishment GOP members hand victories to the radical left through negligence.
How many more close calls will it take before every Republican understands that the stakes are too high for this kind of amateur hour performance?
