Bobby Pulido faces scrutiny over controversial music video, posts

Singer Bobby Pulido, a Latin Grammy winner and now the Democratic candidate in Texas’ 15th Congressional District, appeared in a controversial music video depicting lewd behavior.

In a 2010 music video for his song “Dias de Ayer”, Pulido depicted a character wrapped in a red blanket engaging in indecent acts and appearing to expose himself to a woman seated next to him on a plane.

According to the New York Post, Pulido was questioned by the Mexican press about his sexuality after the video was released.

“People are opening up more. I can even tell you that when I started my career, I saw the situation (of gays) very differently. At the beginning, they said I was gay; there were rumors that I was like that,” Pulido said in an interview with the media outlet El Norte in 2010, translated from Spanish.

Pulido responded to comments about sexuality in several posts, including a 2019 post on his personal X account: “Igualmente amigo, no homo. »

In a 2015 article, Pulido mocked pharmaceutical executive Martin Shkreli, who later served a seven-year prison sentence, writing, “Don’t drop the soap.”

After announcing his campaign last fall, Pulido faced scrutiny over resurfaced posts linking to explicit websites about his personal X account, as well as a post that appeared to show him urinating on President Donald Trump’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star.

The Democratic candidate also drew backlash over past vulgar attacks on Trump, including posting the Spanish translation of “f— your mother.”

“I’d like to give you the biggest ‘f— you,’ you asshole, asshole, dickhead, son of a bitch,” Pulido wrote in another post.

Pulido also gained attention after previously describing himself as a “winter Texan” for spending much of the year in Mexico.
