Hunt Makes Fun of Biden's 'Non-Slip' Shoes, Asserts Obama is Running the Country

Representative Wesley Hunt (R-TX) made a rather large assertion about the legitimacy of Joe Biden’s (D) Presidency after former President Barack Obama was seen walking into 10 Downing Street, the residency of England’s Prime Minister.

While a common trope is that President Biden’s first term is just an extension of President Obama’s time in office, Rep. Hunt brought up the possibility.

“Wow… dressed and ready to go, suited and booted. This looks like more than just a personal call, looks like official business. Tell us you’ve been working from home as POTUS without telling us. Does he not trust Biden as his front-man anymore?” said Rep. Hunt.

The Lone Star State congressman also poked fun at President Biden’s “non-slip” shoes.

“Notice how the media covers the President of the United States being outfitted with non-slip shoes to prevent him from continuing to fall up stairs, fall on stage, and walk off stage… They produce a puff piece about ‘how cool,’ his presidential sneakers are. Welcome to the Matrix,” said Hunt.

Last week, Hunt testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee to give his thoughts on the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. Addressing the idea of voter ID, Rep. Hunt commented on the notion of requiring identification as possibly being racist toward African Americans.

“I’m here to talk about the left’s soft bigotry of low expectations. Because it’s the Democrat Party, not the Republican Party that thinks so little of Black Americans and people of color, that they make the case that being Black in America means we can’t obtain a government ID to vote,” said Rep. Hunt. “And that’s not only a ridiculous assertion, it’s demeaning and insulting.

He continued, “When it comes down to it – and many of my colleagues on the left like to pretend that we’re still living in the 1950s – Well, we’re not because I’ve got some good news for you, it’s 2024 and I know what year it is because I’ve been Black for over 40 years. I’m also the son of a retired Lieutenant Colonel who grew up in the segregated South.”

Furthermore, Rep. Hunt expanded on these comments by continuing to rip into the idea of recent voting laws, especially voter ID.

“Now, my colleagues on the left like to say that commonsense voting laws including requiring government-issued ID are racist and discriminatory and burdensome … I do have multiple government-issued IDs and why that might be shocking to many people in this country, you may ask how that happened. Very simple: personal responsibility for all Americans in this country regardless of what you look like,” said the Texas congressman.

He then pulled out six government-issued IDs during his testimony.
