Bobby Pulido, a Grammy-nominated Tejano singer and a Democratic candidate for Congress in Texas’ 15th District, has found himself at the center of a political controversy as a 2016 video resurfaces showing him urinating on former President Donald Trump’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star. The incident, initially posted on Instagram, has reignited public debate as Pulido campaigns against Rep. Monica De La Cruz, a two-term Republican incumbent. Although Pulido has marketed himself as a bipartisan candidate, the video highlights his controversial past actions, including a 2016 incident where he donned a bloody Trump costume, prompting criticism from fellow Democrats.

Pulido is best known for Tejano, or Mexican–Spanish folk-style, songs like
