The fundraising record comes on the heels of Pulido’s desperate campaign ad that spewed multiple lies about his Republican opponent Monica De La Cruz and relied on testimony from De La Cruz’s ex-husband, who would go on to plead guilty to assaulting a police officer and become a Pulido donor.
Pulido’s desperation is likely a result of the nearly-endless stream of headlines revealing his litany of scandals, including his defense of his child predator bandmate who he took to a middle school concert, his waving away of sexual assault as “not necessarily rape,” and his own disturbing history of sexual deviancy.
EXCLUSIVE: Democrat Texas candidate Bobby Pulido said molesting kids is “not necessarily rape,” after he brought a sex offender to a middle school, according to social media posts uncovered by the Daily Caller.
