Bobby Pulido, a Democrat candidate for Texas office, brought convicted child sex offender Frankie Caballero to perform at a benefit concert at a Texas middle school in 2016. Caballero is a longtime friend of Pulido. The Daily Caller reported that Pulido published a series of tweets in August 2018 explaining why he viewed the invitation as appropriate.
The posts appeared weeks after the 2016 event. In one tweet, Pulido wrote: “Child molestation is abhorrent. But is not necessarily rape or murder, what you said. My point, and Geraldo’s point, is they have been unfairly demonized.
The Daily Caller uncovered the 2018 social media posts.
