Republican Rep. Troy Nehls of Texas has earned a reputation for speaking candidly about his political beliefs. Take yesterday, for example. “Everything that we do in the House of Representatives should be in the best interests of getting Donald Trump re-elected,” Nehls said — while wearing a necktie featuring images of the former president.
” A few days prior, Nehls also said that House Speaker Mike Johnson should be “consulting with Donald Trump on just about everything we do.” The month before that, Nehls attended President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address while wearing a t-shirt featuring Trump’s mugshot. But perhaps most notable of all is the fact that the Texas Republican has reinforced his reputation as The King of Saying the Quiet Part Loud.
