Latin Grammy-winning singer Bobby Pulido, now the Democratic nominee 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 portrayed 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 faced questions from the Mexican press about his sexuality following the release of the video.
« People are opening up more. I can even tell you that when I started my career, I saw the whole situation (of gays) very differently. At first, they said I was gay; there were rumors that I was like that, » Pulido said in a 2010 interview with the outlet El Norte, 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 post, Pulido taunted pharmaceutical executive Martin Shkreli, who later served a seven-year prison sentence, writing, « Don’t drop the soap a–hole. »
After announcing his campaign last fall, Pulido faced scrutiny over resurfaced posts linking to explicit websites on 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 nominee also drew backlash over past vulgar attacks against Trump, including posting the Spanish translation of « f— your mother. »
« I’d like to give you the biggest ‘f— you,’ you piece of s—, a–hole, d— head, son of a b—-, » Pulido wrote in another post.
Pulido also drew attention after previously describing himself as a « winter Texan » for spending much of the year in Mexico.
Pulido is vying for the seat currently held by Rep. Monica De La Cruz, R-Texas, a two-term incumbent.
