| Self-proclaimed rancher Tano Tijerina has been silent as Texas cattlemen pay the price for Trump’s decision to import 300,000 tons of beef, a move that real ranchers say puts “U.S. cattle producers last.”
Across the board, Texas ranchers, farm associations, and lawmakers – including Tijerina’s GOP allies – have been sounding the alarm on the reckless move. But Tijerina has yet to speak out.
REMINDER: Just two weeks ago, nearly 30,000 pounds of Argentinian beef was recalled for health and safety concerns. Now, Tijerina wants more of it.
As farmers and ranchers continue to get crushed by Republicans’ reckless economic agenda, Tijerina’s silence confirms what South Texans have always known: Tijerina’s loyalty lies with Trump and his D.C. party bosses, not with his community.
DCCC Spokesperson Madison Andrus:
“While Congressman Henry Cuellar has spent his career as an independent advocate for South Texas, Tano Tijerina can’t be bothered to stand up to his own party even when they’re hurting Texans. Tijerina might call himself a ‘rancher’ but a more accurate description would be multi-millionaire wannabe cowboy with a Louis Vuitton saddle who won’t even pretend to defend his fellow ranchers.” |
