EXCLUSIVE: Trump-backed military vet mocked for disability ahead of Memorial Day: ‘Most shameful thing’
A Texas congressional race faces controversy as political ads mock Trump-backed veteran Carlos De La Cruz over his 100% disability rating, prompting condemnation from veterans. The Lujan-aligned PAC Protect and Serve accused De La Cruz of using his disability to avoid property taxes, despite his service in Iraq and Afghanistan and his role as a kickboxing gym owner. Veterans like Charlotte Neiner, a Wounded Warrior Project member, called the ad 'shameful' and a disgrace ahead of Memorial Day.
