Democratic Party X Post Hits 12 Million Views After Stephen Miller’s Transgender Jab
4 articles · Updated · Forbes · May 28
Nearly 12 million impressions piled up on the Democratic Party’s X reply telling Stephen Miller to “shut up you ugly f—” after he mocked Texas Democrat James Talarico as “transgender.”
Miller’s post drew nearly 5 million views and came after Talarico won Texas’ Democratic Senate primary, triggering a broader Republican social-media barrage ahead of a November matchup with Ken Paxton.
Katie Miller escalated the clash by identifying a staffer she said ran the Democratic account and calling her an unmarried liberal; the staffer, Paulina Mangubat, answered with a wedding-dress photo announcing her engagement.
Republican attacks on Talarico have intensified since Paxton beat John Cornyn in the GOP runoff, with Trump and other Republicans also targeting Talarico’s faith, gender comments and personal image.
