“Former” CIA man and ex-“Republican” Congressman Will Hurd was booed off stage at the Iowa GOP Lincoln Dinner on Friday night, after telling the audience he believed Donald Trump is running for president “to stay out of prison.”
Hurd’s ludicrous claim – which falls apart when considering that Trump’s legal woes only began in earnest when he cemented his frontrunner status in the Republican primary – was met by a chorus of boos. Hurd promptly left the stage afterwards, having claimed:
“I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, listen I know the truth, the truth is hard. But if we elected Donald Trump, we are willingly giving Joe Biden another four years in the White House and America can’t handle that.”
Donald Trump has been pulling ahead of Biden in national polls for a number of weeks, further ridiculing Hurd’s claims.
