Cringe: Texas Democrat Confuses Communist Manifesto For Mein Kampf In Fundraising Pitch

A Texas Democrat mistook the Communist Manifesto for Mein Kampf while attempting to raise funds for her campaign in a deleted X post Wednesday.

Katy Padilla Stout, the Democratic nominee for Texas’ 23rd congressional district, wrote in her X post that her Republican opponent, YouTuber Brandon Herrera, “defends owning a copy of Mein Kampf.” She included an ActBlue donation link at the end of the post as well as a picture of Herrera holding a book.

Herrera replied to the now-deleted post, writing, “That’s the communist manifesto, genius.” He included his own donation link, requesting donations from individuals who “want to support a candidate who can read.”

The Republican candidate mocked Stout in another X post, writing that she “apparently doesn’t know the difference between the Communist Manifesto and Mein Kampf,” and that she “didn’t know we have 27 counties in the district, not 26.”
