A bombshell investigation has revealed that Texas House Democratic candidate Bobby Pulido once bragged about getting his longtime bandmate out of jail — a career criminal who was later convicted of sexually assaulting an 8-year-old girl. According to The New York Post, Pulido openly discussed his efforts to help Frankie Caballero during a May 2019 YouTube interview, calling the convicted sex offender a “master” keyboard player despite knowing his disturbing criminal history.
The stunning revelation completely contradicts Pulido’s campaign claims about his knowledge of Caballero’s past. Court records show that Caballero racked up charges over three decades including cocaine possession, assault by strangulation, and multiple sex crimes involving children. Even more outrageous? Pulido continued working with Caballero after he was required to register as a sex offender, bringing him to performances at quinceañeras — Latino coming-of-age ceremonies for teenage girls.
This isn’t just poor judgment — it’s a pattern of enabling a dangerous predator. Pulido recruited Caballero for his debut album just months after the accordion player was released on bond for a 1994 sex assault case. They toured together while serious felony charges hung over Caballero’s head. When those charges were mysteriously dismissed in 2000, guess whose name appeared on the court papers? Pulido’s great-uncle, who served as the county’s District Attorney.
Pulido is now desperately trying to damage control his way out of this scandal while challenging incumbent Republican Rep. Monica De La Cruz in Texas’ 15th Congressional District. His campaign claims this is all a “smear campaign,” but the facts speak for themselves. Internal polling shows De La Cruz leading by just one point, making this race crucial for maintaining Republican control. Voters deserve to know exactly who they’re electing and what kind of judgment they’ll bring to Congress.
