A blogger in Texas that racially targeted GOP Rep. Mayra Flores after he was paid twice by Democratic Rep. Vicente Gonzalez's campaign for "advertising services" has a history of using racist terms against Hispanics and African Americans in numerous blog posts over the last few years.
Following a Tuesday morning report from NBC News, the first to highlight the blog's racist and sexist posts directed at Flores and a $1,000 "advertising" payment to the blogger from Gonzalez's campaign, Fox News Digital discovered additional posts from The McHale Report that struck a similar tone and referenced female genitalia.
On May 13, Jerry McHale, who has referred to Flores as "Miss Frijoles" and a "cotton-picking liar," questioned, "DOES FLORES WANT TRUMP TO COME & TAKE HER P**SY???"
Speaking to Fox News Digital, McHale said the posts on the blog are "satire" and that he has never spoken with Gonzalez, who is facing Flores in the November midterm election. He also claimed that Gonzalez's campaign did not pay him to criticize Flores and that they are not paying him for "anything specific."
