Questions Bobby “Pudrido” Must Answer
Bobby “Pudrido” isn’t just running for Congress, he’s running from a long list of deeply troubling questions about his judgment, honesty, and conduct.
Voters in South Texas deserve clear answers, not evasions and excuses:
- Frankie Caballero was arrested for child sex abuse charges in 1992. You are on record saying that you personally recruited him to co-found your band three years later. Why did you hire a man with a prior child sex abuse arrest to build your career around?
- After Caballero was convicted in 2014 of molesting an eight-year-old girl, you welcomed him back on tour the moment he walked out of prison while he was on the sex offender registry. Why?
- You are on tape at a 2018 concert making Penn State child sex abuse jokes directly to Frankie Caballero — a man you now claim you didn’t know was a convicted child molester — months after he walked out of prison for sexually abusing an eight-year-old girl. You also describe him as “a bad man” in the same video. How do you explain that?
- In March 2024 you acknowledged on tape that Frankie Caballero “just can’t stay out of trouble.” Eighteen months later, already a candidate for Congress, you called him “a master” on camera without anyone asking. You now claim you had no idea he was a convicted child sex offender. Which is it? Did you know, or were you praising a man whose crimes you chose to ignore?
- You have loaned your own campaign money. You own assets in Mexico and belong to a Mexican country club. Your US concerts haven’t sold well. Where is the money you are loaning to your campaign coming from?
- In 2015 you told a Mexican newspaper that you were already a permanent resident of Mexico and were pursuing full citizenship. Are you a Mexican citizen?
- Do you still oppose the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which has saved millions of Texas families up to $7,450 each in taxes?
- You have mocked the genitals of women who have given birth naturally on social media. You were 43 years old when you did this. You deleted it only after a reporter asked about it this year. Do you believe that reflects the values of the mothers and families of South Texas?
- You shared links to pornographic websites on social media on multiple occasions and declared it impossible to be on Twitter without watching porn. You are now asking families in South Texas to send you to Congress. How do you respond?
- You told a YouTube show in 2023 that you are a “summer Mexican” and a “winter Texan.” You are asking South Texans to send you to Congress. Which one are you?
