GOP Rep. Hunter faces backlash for pretending to cross the US-Mexico border
that the official border is the Colorado River, which is further away from the vehicle barrier Hunter crossed.told the paper, who helped lead a tour Wednesday night for members of Congress at the border."That is approximately 75-100 feet from the border — the border is actually the river that’s west of that."
“Congressman Hunter said on video that he was 15 meters from Mexico, then proceeded to walk over to the border in what appeared to be, by his own admission, crossing into Mexico," he said."Hunter either broke the law and violated conditions of his release issued by a judge not to leave continental U.S., or he was pulling a political stunt and lied."
Campa-Najjar added,"Thankfully for Hunter, he did not cross into Mexico as he claims. Can someone please show Hunter a map? He was the one who falsely advertised he was 15 meters from Mexico."
