On August 7, Republican candidate Will Hurd was interrupted when criticizing former President Donald Trump on ABC’s The View in an Instagram video (direct link, archive link). The film can be seen directly or archived here.
During Hurd’s talk, someone says, “Oh, brother, please.” The split soon shows that security was higher in the U.S. and worldwide under Trump. Hurd must downplay simplistic talking points. The U.S. and the world felt safer under Trump.
The co-hosts are horrified and unable to talk in the next scene. “Signal Lost” appears on the screen shortly after. “See you soon.” “He said WHAT?!” appears over the video. The clip earned over 400 likes in a few days.
The video has been modified to represent a break that did not occur during the original broadcast. Hurd’s statements on Trump and the network’s live coverage never stopped. A hilarious artist who used multiple styles made the film.
In June, 45-year-old former Texas congressman Hurd, a Trump critic, announced his presidential bid. Before his 2020 retirement, Hurd advised the CIA.
Hurd appeared on The View on July 19, a month and a half after announcing his presidential bid. This happened on July 19. Hurd fretted about Trump’s actions affecting national security throughout the show.

When the original broadcast is uploaded to YouTube, it shows two different accounts. Hurd’s feedback continues, unlike on Instagram. Instead, the audience applauds Hurd, allowing him to continue.
Damon Imani, whose Instagram account is prominently featured in the ad, created the content. Rumble, a movie-streaming platform, posted the altered clip on July 28. As a director and video artist, Imani is known for his humor.
Imani termed the altered clip a “satirical production” on X, formerly Twitter. USA TODAY is trying to reach the social media user who shared the information.
The assertion was debunked by PolitiFact and the Associated Press, illustrating how difficult media stories are today
