It's "Paid for by Character Counts" which is a Republican affiliated Super PAC, so its even MORE confusing as Brandon Herrera is a Republican candidate in Texas. So looks like the Republicans are continuing the fully mask off and aiming to get pedos voting for him?
It isn’t slander since this is written words not spoken. It also isn’t libel (equivalent written word) since he actually said it, and it is well documented.
Also curious what good ideas you think he genuinely holds earnestly. Because as someone who actually used to watch him on YouTube 3ish years ago (maybe 4?), and then started to get the ick feeling from his YouTube personality, and has since looked at his statements since he became a political candidate, I really haven’t found a great political idea I trust he actually believes and will keep if elected.
He’s a former (maybe current) “GunTuber” who made this statement in a video on his YouTube channel directed at someone in a gun control advocacy group. It was a response to her basically saying he doesn’t care about her political opinions just because she decided to have children or some shit. He isn’t directing it at everyone who has kids. Just her so this is somewhat out of context.
I own guns. In particular, AKs (AK Guy is his YouTube). Started hating this guy when he got into politics and showing his true colors by rubbing elbows with pedos (Gaetz).
I'm also a gun guy that used to enjoy his content, but dropped him pretty much immediately once he got into politics. It's honestly astonishing how quickly he started towing the party line with Israel, protecting pedos, etc. What a spineless scumbag.
Ironically enough his YouTube friend Wendigoon did a video on the Killdozer guy exposing him to be a crazy lunatic and not an anti establishment hero like he’s often portrayed as.
I hate that there’s just a weird guy on YT named killdozer that just does eating random shit videos so now I have to mentally check which one we’re talking about.
I also fallowed him as a GunTuber, and I genuinely liked his stuff earlier on. But there was a point a couple few years back he started getting more and more frequently cringe. And the cum trophies bit in context of the some of the things he was saying when I stopped watching him, it seemed to my viewing that was his opinion of anyone with kids who didn’t agree with him politically. Which as someone who agreed with some of his opinions but had been seeing more and more things he said as disagreeable and has a kid…. Well fuck referring to my kid in such a derogatory way, or any other kid.
You can absolutely make jokes about kids being cum trophies with intimate friends who understand the joke is directed at the absurdities of parenthood and it’s very clear you’re not actually being derogatory towards the kids. And that take is probably fairly controversial, but also that’s absolutely not the context here.
Against him, I think. Basically saying you shouldn’t vote for someone who said something like that, going for shock value by putting it on the sign. I don’t know the guy but I’m guessing they dug this up from an old Tweet or something.
Came from a video where he was talking about Moms Demand Action I believe. The basic idea was just because you have a kid doesn’t mean your political opinion is more valuable.
"Cum trophy" isn't exactly polite, but I know tons of people who call kids "crotch goblins" and such. So, I wouldn't exactly call this quote anything out of the norm for people my age.
That said, others here seem to suggest he has a record of saying much worse.
I am not in Texas, nor do I watch his videos much anymore, so this really is beyond me, but hopefully it isn't as bad as they say.
Yeah it doesn’t make me gasp in horror, but it’s also not language I would want someone in elected office to use. I wouldn’t eliminate voting for someone based on the fact that they said it in the past though.
Although I’m sure the outrage bait strategy works well on the conservative fundie Christian crowd in Texas.
I don’t care on a certain level, but I don’t think it’s too much to ask for both: someone who has noble actions and also doesn’t use the vernacular of a comedian in the Rogan-sphere.
Right? You should want your representatives to be the kind of people you want your kids to meet, respect, and look up to. We are so far from that these days, but Mr. Talarico fits the bill - I’d be thrilled for the family to meet him.
Yourself calling them vs another person doing it is a completely different feeling. You wouldn’t let your kids get hurt regardless of what you call them. He thinks they are nothing more than an accidental night. One has a clear loving connotation while the other is clear indifference and disdain especially towards women.
People say that stuff on reddit. Its not a widely held value by the general public to call kids cum trophoes or crotch goblins, which is probably why the sign is highlighting that.
Herrera says edgelord and shocking shit all the time then claims he's joking. He's also a neo-confederate and only moved to Texas a few years ago... to run in the same district as the Ulvade shooting.
No, he was actually born there, near Fort Hood, he did grow up in the Carolinas however, as his family has a long history with the Army, and he moved back to Texas about 5 or 6ish years ago to be close to friends and family, and because the busines climate in Texas was/is more favorable, he only ran for congress because the now former congressman is such a massive lying sack of shit RINO who cheats on his wife and butt fucks staffers to the point of ruining their lives.
Unlike Brandon, who runs his mouth for laughs, and donates a lot of time and money to the community, veterans and firearm safety and education.
He's not quite from there. My dad was in the military and I was born in the UK, I would never say I was from there. Fort Hood a 4 hour, 230+ mile drive from Uvalde. His move to Texas totally makes sense, as you said, as a gun influencer, but he did not run for office until he saw how much $$$ was to be made at speaking, events for conservative groups.
I agree 100% that Tony Gonzales is an absolute POS, Herrera is inherently a better option than him on the face, but Herrera targeted him in the 2024 primaries before that was revealed because he was a vunerable incumbent. District 23 is a heavily gerrymandered district that offers him a better chance of getting in office than any other districts in Texas and especially in North Carolina. If you like his gun content, cool (I prefer TFB and Nova Group), but let's be honest: he's another influencer jumping on the MAGA train while the funding is still pouring in.
Against him. It's his opponent taking a very obviously unserious thing he said, from something completely unrelated, and using it as "here's why you should hate him."
She has no way to say anything good for herself, so her entire campaign is revolving on finding anything, no matter how irrelevant, to turn into rage bait for the circus monkeys that she's trusting to take everything she says as gospel truth.
I used to watch Brandon Herrera up until he started trying to get into politics. I like edgy humor as much as the next guy, but this isn't the guy I want representing the 2A community, nor can I support someone who still touts endorsements from Trump and Mike Johnson at this point in 2026
When I was a child, that kind of language was NEVER put where children could see it. M
aybe in private by adults with that sort of humor but you would never, ever see it posted out in public. Any child sitting in the back seat of their parent's car can read that and wonder, or worse, know what it means. And they can think about it, and wonder if the adults in their lives think of them like that, and wrestle with it in the back of their minds until it comes out of their mouths towards a younger sibling they're annoyed with, or worse, towards their own children as adults. The things we're exposed to as kids can stick deep within us forever. I'm so sorry for the kids who are living in this world today that doesn't care about them.
I'm sorry what planet are you on? There were never any signs like this even up to like 2010, this is very much a recent brainrot terminally online induced development
I love how he was literally making fun of them and how they treat kids yet they STILL don’t understand the irony of trying to use this to criticize him
It’s the hypocrisy of people in Texas trying to police what people can display in public under the guise of protecting children, then there’s this shit 😂
Do you have any reason to think the person who put that up is one of the people trying to police what people can display? Because, shockingly, not everyone in Texas agrees on everything...
I mean this is a political sign by his opponent or a PAC in favor of his opponent. Unless you like Brandon Herrera I’m not sure why the political sign itself is infuriating.
Purposefully taking jokes out of context for shock value makes me want to vote for this guy knowing nothing about him. If his opponent has gotten to that level vs going after what he actually represents or has voted for in the past, that says all it needs to say to me.
Funnily enough you just described 99% of the young socialist and way left party voters in America 😂
But no, that’s not really what I meant. It would flavor my base interpretation of one of these candidates but I would still look into what both represent and how they have voted on issues that concern me in the past.
You can disagree with their political preferences but I would guarantee someone in a political group knows more than some moron who votes based on insane jokes on random signs.
From the party that loves to say “Hasan said we deserve 9/11”. You can come up with all sorts of reasons to clip that guy, but when it comes to actually voting for a political candidate suddenly the policies are sooo much more important. And you admit you don’t know any of the policies he stands for! Then you backpedal when someone calls you out and try to paint the other side with the same brush! Nice try bro, you ain’t slick
> Herrera has posted several YouTube videos that have featured Nazi imagery and included jokes about Nazis and the Holocaust.[30] He has boasted about his 1939 edition of Mein Kampf
> Herrera is a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, a neo-Confederate organization that promotes the white supremacist[34] Lost Cause.[35] He appeared in welcome videos produced by the organization, where he referred to the American Civil War as the "War of Northern Aggression" and the "War for Southern Independence", and advertised the group's "annual Yankee shoot", where members used antique rifles to shoot at "posters of [their] favorite Yankees".
He also frequently points out that the first battle the mean Austrian man lost was with the German language. He owns Mein Kampf in a "know your enemy" kind of way.
He's a firearm enthusiast, and in case you haven't heard, some firearms were built around WW2 by Nazi Germany, and dressing up in skits to portray an accurate setting does not make you a Nazi. In fact, in literally every fucking video where he discusses anything related to Nazis, he's talking shit about them, talking shit about Hitler, and talking shit about fascism. He owns Mein Kampf (and Communist Manifesto) for the sole purpose of understanding why certain evil people are the way they are and think/do what they do. In fact, the specific version of Mein Kampf he owns is filled with what's essentially the 1939 version of Twitter community notes, which ALSO shit on Hitler throughout the book. If you actually ever watched more than 5 seconds of any of his videos, you'd know IMMEDIATELY he is a far from a Nazi as humanly possible.
I love how Katie supporters will take jokes out of context and ignore how him and the Unsub crew raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for autism research, and help send special needs kids to summer camp. I’ve also never heard or seen anything about his opponent being on scene after the Texas floods providing equipment, manpower, and supplies for the search&recovery efforts like he did in Kerr county. Also, the guy is friends with a lot of veterans and they also raise a ton of money to help veterans with whatever they’re facing. Not only raise money, but he just did a USO tour in the Middle East. I don’t agree with his stance on everything, however his actions speak far louder than his opponent that just uses jokes taken out of context.
Take joke out of context? I have never, in a public space, or out loud or even thought the idea of “kids are cum trophies” please tell me what context it makes it ok to say those words as a sentence?
"Just because you let somebody cream pie you doesn't mean I have to give a shit about your political opinions. The fact that you kept your cum trophy doesn't make you any less wrong about the dumb shit that you say"
In reference to Moms Demand Action, the implication is that having kids / being a mother doesn't make your opinion on the topic any more valid.
I sorta agree with his point parents can be very entitled but funnily enough i think this is an example of like, the rudest possible way to make that point lmao
When any group of dudes are chillin together like ever. Jokes like this are common place with the homies and if you pretend to not understand you are just being facisious.
Texas needs Brandon more than they realize, he might be on if the single rays of hope this election cycle. Couldn’t slander a more genuinely decent human being.
So glad there’s some people that aren’t blinded by Reddit syndrome lol, people should go learn about him a little before they slander him and call him a nazi. Watch one of his genuine videos or podcasts, or even just the debate he just did
Maybe that’s the point though? Like, maybe it’s good when the people who make dirty jokes on dumb YouTube shows aren’t the same people who make laws in Congress. There’s nothing wrong with either one, but aren’t you tired of being governed by shockjocks and edgelords? I am.
You’re right, the geriatric congress with more control of our daily lives than they have of their own bladder. The guys with multiple DUI’s and SA settlements with an NDA attached are really doing great things up on the hill. If calling a kid a cum trophy is the worst thing they’ve done to a kid, chances are they are a better choice than most of congress.
I mean that's funny to me. If you cant say "he's actively ruining America, he is a proven rapist, his agenda is trafficking children for global elites and yo cover it up." and a joke taken out of context is the best you can do that's gotta say something lol.
This all pains me. I’ve been a long-time fan of Brandon Herrera and I literally just voted straight blue on my ticket. Though, I’m an Ohioan. I really, REALLY, do not understand the hate for Brandon…except he has an R next to his name. His policy stances actually make sense. And he believes in a lot of what the Democrats believe in too. His opponent? Katy Padilla Stout? An absolute moron. Literally called Nuclear Power Plants “dangerous”. When they’re one of THE safest forms of energy (0.03 deaths per KWh of energy produced - with Solar being 0.02)
I mean the issue is with nuclear is not that its dangerous, but its expensive and takes about a decade to build a single operational plant. You then have to trust that there is enough taxes for the government to run it properly, or that the private company is competent enough not to neglect maintainance. Other than that its pretty good if you already have the infrastructure.
Apparently you haven't kept up on modern nuclear technology. Check out energy.utah.gov to read about the latest, greatest in technology. Safe, inexpensive, small and fast to build.
My brother in Christ; he's friends with a Neo Confederate, LARPs Rhodesia, and has called trans people 'things' on multiple occasions. He'd fit in better at a Klan rally than public office...
... Then again, those two are one in the same these days, so I digress.
Brandon Herrera is a youtube gun troll who decided he wanted to become a US Congressman after Uvalde because the current rep had the audacity to propose some mild gun control measures.
Note, he lives in the district Uvalde is in. This dude saw his neighbors kids get murdered by a gunman and thought "what we need to do is protect the guns".
Soooo.... He saw politicians passing laws that he did not like and he decided he could better represent the laws he thought would be better by getting involved directly? That sounds exactly like what our government system is supposed to be about. He out his time money and reputation on the line to make the difference in government that he wants to see.
Actual quote from an actually despicable, vile excuse of a human that could very well win his race. Sad to see a sign with that quote, especially since the context is worse, but hopefully it wakes up a few voters.
"Just because you let somebody cream pie you doesn't mean I have to give a shit about your political opinions. The fact that you kept your cum trophy doesn't make you any less wrong about the dumb shit that you say"
How does the context make it worse? He is saying just because you have kids it doesn't make your opinion have more authority on something.
The context makes it a lot better actually. He made that joke in a video talking about Shannon Watts who wanted to get the guy who stopped a mall shooter imprisoned. And he never said “kids are cum trophies” he said “just because you kept your cum trophy doesn’t mean I give a shit about your political opinion”

Funny part is, idk whether this is meant to be for or against him as a political officeholder.
