Baby for unwed U.S. Rep Joaquin Castro is a blip, not a bombshell
SAN ANTONIO — At his and twin brother Julián Castro's 39th birthday party at Pearl Stable, U.S. Rep. Joaquín Castro and fiancee Anna Flores formally announced they are expecting their first child, a girl, to be born in December.
Monday night's news wasn't a bombshell — Flores announced the pregnancy on her Facebook page in August. And judging by the lack of response (online or elsewhere) regarding the congressman's marital status, the real news seems to be that there's no news at all.
“The people who would truly be bothered and make an issue are not in his district. They're not the people who voted for him,” said Kelton Morgan, a local Republican political consultant.
“On the heels of all of the despicableness of the (nondiscrimination ordinance) debate, the people who were against that are the ones who would take issue,” Morgan said. “Maybe they're burned out, out of steam.”
