EXCLUSIVE: Trump-backed military vet mocked for disability ahead of Memorial Day: ‘Most shameful thing’
A Texas congressional race faces controversy as a Trump-backed veteran, Carlos De La Cruz, is mocked in political ads over his 100% disability status ahead of Memorial Day. Veterans and advocates condemn the attack, calling it shameful, while the Lujan-aligned PAC claims De La Cruz's disability is insincere due to his kickboxing and carpentry work. Texas law allows 100% disabled veterans to receive property tax exemptions, which over 164,000 veterans in the state utilize.
