Enough is enough. On Thursday’s Chris Salcedo Show, Rep. Wesley Hunt nailed the truth that a lot of us have been whispering in private for years: the so-called Republican establishment has too often folded, looked the other way, and been soft when America needed backbone. Hunt’s message is simple and unapologetic — voters are tired of political elites who cozy up to entrenched bureaucrats while ordinary Americans pay the price.
Hunt’s decision to jump into the Texas U.S. Senate race underlines that frustration; he announced his campaign this October and made clear he won’t be a creature of Washington or a hand-picked favorite of party bosses. He positioned himself as the anti-establishment alternative to a stale insider fight between career politicians, saying Texans deserve someone who will actually fight for them and not for D.C. power brokers.
Let’s call it what it is: the establishment’s squishiness has allowed a bloated deep state to trample on liberty and accountability, and too many nominal Republicans have been complicit by inaction. Hunt didn’t come to Washington to play inside-the-beltway games; he came to dismantle the status quo that protects career bureaucrats while everyday Americans suffer from border chaos, inflation, and lawlessness. Conservatives who value courage over compromise should welcome a fighter who isn’t interested in polite bipartisanship with the people who betrayed us.
The man making this stand isn’t some back-bench commentator; Wesley Hunt is a West Point graduate, a former Army captain, and one of the earliest congressional backers of President Trump’s return — the kind of profile we need in the fight against a politicized permanent bureaucracy. His service and proven loyalty to the America First agenda give him the credibility to call out both the deep state and the politicians who enable it. If you want someone who answers to the people and not to the swamp, Hunt fits the bill.
Conservatives should stop treating this like a turf war between personalities and start treating it like a war for the soul of the party and the country. We need leaders who will defund the bureaucrats who leak, lie, and sabotage, and who will restore competence and accountability to our institutions. Wesley Hunt’s appearance on Salcedo’s program was more than another TV spot — it was a declaration that the next generation of conservative leaders will not be intimidated by the Washington machine.
This is a moment for patriots to act, not applaud politely from the sidelines. If conservatives keep elevating managers of the status quo while punting on the real threats inside our own government, we will lose more than elections — we will lose the country our forefathers fought to secure. It’s time to back fighters, not gatekeepers, and Wesley Hunt is staking his claim in that fight.
