After Democrats underperformed nationally and in Texas, the McAllen Democrat had some sharp commentary for his party.
WASHINGTON — After outperforming Kamala Harris in South Texas on Election Day despite being vastly outspent by Republican s, U.S. Rep. Vicente Gonzalez , D-McAllen, has a message to his fellow Democrats in Congress . Actually, he has a few of them. No. 1: Don’t tell him how to handle his business, he’s going to represent his district the way he knows is best. And No. 2: Clean up your own act.
Ted Cruz’s reelection campaign both poured money into ads attacking Democrats as wanting to use taxpayer money to fund gender transitions for children and to allow boys to play in girls sports. Democrats and LGBTQ+ rights activists denounced the ads as spreading dangerous misinformation about trans youth. Gonzalez was among the few Democrats to tackle the ads head on, issuing his own counter ad rebuffing the Republicans’ claims, saying he never supported tax-funded sex changes.
