Black Republicans target Swalwell's claim that GOP will ban interracial marriage

Florida Rep. Byron Donalds and Wesley Hunt, a congressional candidate in Texas – both black Republicans – on Tuesday night tore into Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell for claiming the GOP want to ban interracial marriage.

"The Republicans won't stop with banning abortion," Swalwell tweeted Monday after the publication of the Supreme Court draft opinion that could reverse Roe v. Wade. "They want to ban interracial marriage. Do  you want to save that? Well, then you should probably vote."

On Tuesday, Hunt responded, "Hi Eric, my name is Wesley Hunt, I’m a Republican nominee in a congressional district that is 70% white. I’m black, I’m in an interracial marriage, and my wife and I have two biracial daughters. Republicans are celebrating diversity while white liberals like yourself race-bait."

Hunt will likely be elected to Congress in November. He is running in a solidly red district.
