Cuellar Silent as Democrats Use Dangerous Rhetoric

April 28, 2026

Self-serving Henry Cuellar is refusing to call on Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico to condemn his pastor’s Sunday sermon after reports that the pastor made light of the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner on Saturday.

By staying silent, Cuellar is enabling the dangerous rhetoric that fuels division and encourages political violence. 

“Self-serving Henry Cuellar never misses an opportunity to look out for himself, but when members of his own party use dangerous rhetoric, he goes silent. Texans deserve leaders with the backbone to speak up when it counts, not career politicians who disappear when it matters most.” – NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez
