"You should not broadcast information that you think would ultimately be falsified," Hurd said Sunday in "Face the Nation," specifically questioned about the clip that Trump posted. "And this will intensify this debate and this fight."

Hurd said the controversy around the initial video, which Facebook said was not to be removed, would illustrate the lack of readiness to respond to misinformation.

"We have old laws to decide how you handle misinformation. You have leaders who do not understand how this technology can be used in the future. This brings us back to this whole discussion about misinformation and how we treat it, "he said. "And it's not just the government. It's not just social media companies. It is also the media, the universities involved in this attempt. "

Hurd is a vibrant district that, starting in 2019, is the only Republican-controlled seat on the US and Mexican border. He won his reelection in 2018 with around 1,150 votes, making it the closest race to the Texas House.
