Bobby Pulido Faces Fresh Scrutiny Over 2017 Tweets Calling Police "Abusive A—holes"

Summary
2017 and 2018 posts by Democratic House candidate Bobby Pulido resurfaced showing him calling some police "abusive a—holes," saying the U.S. has an "abusive cop problem," and questioning the justice system after an officer’s acquittal.
The renewed attention hits Pulido as he runs against Republican Rep. Monica De La Cruz in Texas’ 15th District, a South Texas swing seat where his Tejano star profile has made him a serious challenger.
Pulido’s campaign has already been under pressure over his ties to convicted child sex offender Frankie Caballero and over remarks that some immigration enforcement recruits are white nationalists who want to "hunt down" people.
RNC spokesperson Zach Kraft used the resurfaced posts to accuse Pulido of smearing law enforcement, while Pulido’s camp said he has been a lifelong supporter of police and called the attacks desperate GOP politics ahead of November.
