布兰登·赫雷拉是竞逐得克萨斯州第23国会选区的共和党候选人，其社交媒体上发布的多条贬低女性和其他群体的言论近日引发关注1。赫雷拉在2023年的一段视频中称枪靶假人的空头脑"充满糊状物——就像普通奥斯汀女性主义者一样"1，随后在2024年的另一段视频中将"愤怒的蓝发"女性主义者的体重与虎鲸和大象相比较1。此外，他在2020年表示购买火腿用于射击练习"仍然比一个无家可归者便宜"1。赫雷拉之前还因描述纳粹时代枪支为"原始的贫民区爆炸机"而遭批评，共和党犹太人联盟随即谴责他为"鹅步极端分子"1。
对于这些争议言论，赫雷拉声称它们都是玩笑1，随后转向指责其民主党对手凯蒂·帕迪拉·斯托特1。斯托特是一名前教师和律师1。该选区自2015年以来民主党未曾获胜，但民主党已将其列为竞选目标1，民主党全国委员会已为斯托特的竞选提供资金支持1。
Brandon Herrera, the Republican candidate for Texas's 23rd congressional district, faces mounting criticism over derogatory remarks posted on social media targeting women and other groups.1 In a 2023 video, Herrera compared the "empty head" of a gun target dummy to the brains of "your average Austin feminist," describing them as "full of mush."1 The following year, he drew further backlash by comparing angry blue-haired feminists to whales and elephants in terms of weight.1 Additionally, Herrera made a 2020 comment suggesting that purchasing ham for shooting practice was "still cheaper than a homeless person."1
Herrera has defended these statements as jokes and has directed criticism toward his Democratic opponent, Katie Padilla Stott, a former teacher and lawyer.1 He previously faced condemnation from the Republican Jewish Coalition after describing Nazi-era firearms as "primitive ghetto blasters."1 Despite these controversies, the district has not elected a Democrat since 2015.1 However, the Democratic National Committee has identified the seat as a target and has provided financial backing to Stott.1
