What happened

Dem congressional hopeful Bobby Pulido trashed moms’ bodies, yukking about how they ‘flap like seals’ after giving birth: video He’s no gift to moms this Mother’s Day.

Why it matters

Texas democratic congressional hopeful Bobby Pulido once trashed and demeaned the bodies of moms — yukking it up about how their privates “flap like seals” on a popular Mexican talk show.

Common ground

Pulido, who’s hoping to flip a GOP-held district, appeared on the Youtube comedy-and-music show Zagar Desde el Bar in 2020 and laughed as the host made the vulgar remarks about women.

Perspective signals
