I was asked by @commongroundcom to share my thoughts on the role of political centrists in the future of American politics on the latest ‘Let’s Find Common Ground’ podcast episode out now. Listen here: https://t.co/WTBKqlA0FA — PolitiTweet.org

Will Hurd @WillHurd

Now imagine that small child trying to survive that nightmare, pleading with a 911 operator for it to stop, and tell them they only have to count to 4,448. (6/6) — PolitiTweet.org

Will Hurd @WillHurd

Think of all the times your child has to count to 20, whether playing hide n' seek or to calm down. They race through the numbers because 20 seconds is an eternity to a kid. (5/6) — PolitiTweet.org

Will Hurd @WillHurd

After almost an hour on the scene, the incident commander is recorded saying that people are going to question why it took so long. From that point, it was almost another 20 minutes until the shooter was finally terminated. A teacher died on the way to the hospital. (4/6) — PolitiTweet.org

Will Hurd @WillHurd

The state committees and DOJ should ask every single law enforcement officer that was at Robb why they didn't follow protocol to breach the room. If they were following the incident commander's order, then they need to be asked why they didn't challenge that order. (3/6) — PolitiTweet.org

Will Hurd @WillHurd

According to the transcript, there were 11 officers, some with rifles, in the building just 3 minutes after the shooter entered the classroom. It was 11 on 1 & the door was unlocked. This is enough evidence to show that some failed to uphold their oath to protect & serve. (2/6) — PolitiTweet.org

Will Hurd @WillHurd

4,448 seconds for 361 officers to penetrate 1 unlocked door to terminate 1 monster with 1 gun. 4,448. Standard operating procedure is for the 1st officer on scene to engage shooter to preserve life, even if it costs them their own, then 2nd, then 3rd. That did not happen. (1/6) — PolitiTweet.org

Will Hurd @WillHurd

This debate on the gas tax is why Dems are going to lose in Nov. Only they could think of an idea that 1. doesn't actually address the root causes of the high gas prices, while 2. setting back much-needed domestic infrastructure investments. — PolitiTweet.org

Will Hurd @WillHurd

If two diametrically opposed SCOTUS Justices can appreciate each other's humanity and basic decency, surely the rest of us can acknowledge each other's baseline good intentions, and work together to move our country forward with kindness and respect. https://t.co/Q6LeimdiXI — PolitiTweet.org

Has nobody told Greitens he’s the RINO? Real Republicans don’t have to resign from office because they covered up shady activity. They don't get accused of spousal abuse. Real Republicans don’t cosplay politically-driven murder, because we know our actions have consequences. — PolitiTweet.org

Will Hurd @WillHurd

The LGBTQ+ community? Check out the chapter in my book entitled, "Don't be an asshole, racist, misogynist, or a homophobe." We should be advocating for folks to live their lives the way they want. That is a normal conservative position. Happy Pride Month. (4/4) — PolitiTweet.org

Will Hurd @WillHurd

A tiny faction of delegates hijacking our politics, pushing un-American ideas, and thinking they actual represent one of the largest Republican voting bases in the country? Abnormal for sure. (3/4) — PolitiTweet.org

Will Hurd @WillHurd

Pretending that Trump won in 2020 despite mountains upon mountains of evidence that he lost. That's abnormal. Forgetting that in just 4 years under his watch the GOP also lost the House and the Senate. That's abnormal too. (2/4) — PolitiTweet.org

Will Hurd @WillHurd

There was a lot of talk about what’s “abnormal” coming from the Texas GOP convention. 19 kids and 2 teachers that should have been enjoying their summer instead being buried while we ridicule those addressing gun violence. That's abnormal. (1/4) — PolitiTweet.org

#Juneteenth, the first new federal holiday since Reagan elevated MLK Day in 1983, has been celebrated since June 19, 1865. On that day, 2.5 years after the Emancipation Proclamation, Union troops arrived in Galveston and slaves in Texas were finally granted their freedom. — PolitiTweet.org

The folks saying Mike Pence, in his role of President of the Senate, had any other option than doing exactly what he ultimately did on 1/6, were lying for their own personal gain. — PolitiTweet.org

Will Hurd @WillHurd

I think it's important that when we talk about Mike Pence making "the right choice" we clarify that that choice was not between two different nuanced readings of the role of the vice president. The choice was between "the correct way to do things" and "utter make-believe." — PolitiTweet.org

Will Hurd @WillHurd

Here's what you ain't going to hear from out-of-touch talking heads: moms and dads, regardless of skin color, are fed up with nobody doing anything on border security which, if you live on the border, is a public safety issue. Mayra Flores' victory should make this point clear. — PolitiTweet.org

Will Hurd @WillHurd

If you think spending money on Ukraine is not worthwhile, imagine a scenario where Putin wins. You'll be paying more at the pump and the grocery store forever. — PolitiTweet.org

Will Hurd @WillHurd

I get that POTUS doesn't have sole power over supply chains, gas prices, inflation, the border, etc. But at some point, you have to take some responsibility and say "The buck stops with me." Joe Biden is the leader of the free world. Stop complaining and show some leadership. — PolitiTweet.org

Will Hurd @WillHurd

It's unfortunate that despite both Dem and GOP primary voters favoring a permanent fix for young men and women who have only ever known the U.S. as their home, both parties would still rather use this issue as a political bludgeon than solve it. (2/2) — PolitiTweet.org

Will Hurd @WillHurd

We need a permanent legislative fix for DACA. We could have done it 12 years ago if 5 more senators (perhaps the 5 Democrat "no" votes) had voted yes on the Dream Act. (1/2) — PolitiTweet.org

Will Hurd @WillHurd

Thank you to all of the staffers on the Hill who are teaching their bosses how to access the Internet today. — PolitiTweet.org

Will Hurd @WillHurd

On this #FlagDay, let's remember "No other flag or pennant should be placed above the flag of the USA," and when we pledge allegiance, it's to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands -- not to a party or an individual. — PolitiTweet.org

Will Hurd @WillHurd

The national average for spending on K-12 schools is 3.1% of our GDP. If we want to attract and retain the best and the brightest to the teaching profession, we need to start by valuing them financially. https://t.co/5CgMaGZETt — PolitiTweet.org
