Don’t be fooled by Hurd, he’s working a game of smoke and mirrors to fool his voters.

You know Republicans by their votes. Look at what Hurd supports.

He knows how to talk a certain way too......and it's fake. He votes with Trump 99% of the time.

Rosey Abuabara, chair of TX23 Indivisible, said membership has more than doubled after remaining steady earlier in 2017. She cites Hurd’s support of Republican-drawn legislation and uncertainty among members about his commitment to protecting the nearly 800,000 young undocumented immigrants in jeopardy from Trump’s cancellation of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, effective in early March.

“He has tried to appear as if he’s a moderate — he’s written up that way — and even people we know in Indivisible were happy with him,” Abuabara said. “But he’s not for a clean Dream Act, and he’s not doing anything for the DACA people in his district.”

She added that she believes that it’s hard to know what Hurd is up to in Washington. “They (his staff) won’t tell us how he’s going to vote or even which way he is leaning,” she said.
