Before being elected to the United States Congress, Dent was a member of the State Legislature for 14 years. He once called Trump’s morals “indefensible.” He’s skewered Trump’s travel ban, empathizing with its targets and citing “the unfairness of the order.” He’s called Trump’s falsehoods on the nonexistent Obama wiretap of Trump Tower “a detriment to the office.” Dent’s remarks strike a register both hard-hitting and soft-spoken, which gives them the flavor of Washington truth-telling. “If the Senate passes a bill that’s more receptive to our center-right members, then I suspect the very people who were just appeased on the hard-right will be nowhere to be found,” Dent reasons.
