A black Republican lawmaker rebuffed claims that the GOP is 'racist' for focusing efforts on securing the southern border by claiming Democrats use racism as a 'scapegoat' too often.

During questioning at the Judiciary Committee's hearing on the southern border crisis on Wednesday, Representative Wesley Hunt of Texas went on the defense after the Democratic ranking member accused pro-MAGA Republicans of being 'racist.'

He was also responding to El Paso County Judge Ricardo Samaniego, Democrats' sole witness for the hearing, who denied there is an 'invasion' at the border as the left calls this classification racist in nature.

'I've been black for a long time, sir, so I get it. And I've been a minority in this country for a very long time,' Hunt said. 'But this is actually not about race, this is actually an issue of public safety.'
