Democrat Responds to Fort Bend GOP's Anti-LGBTQ 'Cross-Dressing' Attack

The Fort Bend Republican Party sent out a fundraising email this week under the subject line, “Cross-Dressing Democratic Candidate.”

The email contained the above photos of Sri Preston Kulkarni, the Democratic nominee in Texas’ 22nd Congressional District, as well as a link to a recent column in the conservative Washington Times by Matt Mackowiak, who serves as chair of the Travis County Republican Party in Austin.

The Fort Bend GOP’s email noted that in his column, Mackowiak alleges that Kulkarni is a member of the “DC Burners Club, which celebrates Burning Man, the anything-goes, anarchic annual festival held in Nevada where free love and drug use are widespread.”

“What the article didn’t mention is that when Kulkarni goes to these kind of parties, he has a propensity to put on lots of make-up and dress like a woman,” the Fort Bend GOP wrote. “Folks, when you couple the destructive policies embraced by this candidate along with his bizarre behavior celebrating of a drug-fueled counter-culture, we have an individual who should never represent us at any level of government.”

Guilliani in drag. That'll end that line of attack.

It is so much fun watching a congressional candidate mingle in a roomful of Democratic lawyers.

Sri was born in Houston and went to UT undergrad. Sri is not a carpetbagger.

I must commend Sri for having the perfect smoky eye.

I agree that his opponent is getting desperate if he has called in the fool that heads the Travis County GOP for assistance.

My kids are not sure that I have mastered even one language.

Sri spoke in Hebrew to the Jewish Caucus at the Texas Democrat convention.
