A reported rising star in the Democratic Party, who is being recruited to run for office in Texas, has a social media footprint littered with racially charged posts as well as numerous crude comments about President Trump.&nbsp; Accomplished singer and songwriter Bobby Pulido is being "heavily recruited," according to a recent&nbsp;Politico report, to run as a Democrat in Texas’ 15th Congressional District and Pulido himself has said that he intends to put his singing career on hold to run for political office in 2026. Pulido’s social media presence is littered with examples of racially charged posts along with vulgar posts about President-elect Trump which are likely to be used against him if he decides to run for Congress.&nbsp; "How convenient that Wikileaks only hacked the democrat party," Pulido&nbsp;said in a reply to the GOP Asian American account on X, then known as Twitter, in 2016. "Open your Asian eyes. That's more rigged than anything."

"I'd like to give you the biggest ‘f--- you" you piece of s---, a--hole, d--- head, son of a bit--," Pulido said to Trump in&nbsp;another post.&nbsp; DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKER SUGGESTS 'SLAVE MENTALITY' BEHIND HISPANIC TRUMP VOTERS  Numerous examples of Pulido using crude language to attack Trump can be found on his page, which would presumably be unpopular with Republican voters in Texas, a state he won by 14 points in November while making&nbsp;historically significant strides with Hispanic voters in the Lone Star State.&nbsp; In 2015, a Twitter user asked Pulido in Spanish, "What would you say to people who bully me because I listen to your music?" "Tell them I said f--- their race," Pulido&nbsp;posted in response.

Monica De La Cruz. "Growing up I was always intrigued by the idea of public service," Pulido said in a&nbsp;recent livestream discussing retiring from music. "In 2026 I’ll be running for public office in the attempt to fulfill my lifelong dream to serve my people." Fox News Digital reached out to Pulido, but he did not respond to a request for comment.&nbsp;
