Latin Grammy-winning singer Bobby Pulido, who is currently the Democratic nominee for Texas’ 15th Congressional District, appeared in a controversial music video depicting suggestive behavior.
In the music video for his song “Dias de Ayer” in 2010, Pulido portrayed a character wrapped in a red blanket who engages in inappropriate behavior and appears to expose himself to a woman sitting next to him on a plane.
According to the New York Post, Pulido faced questions about his sexuality from the Mexican press after the video was released.
“People are opening up more. I can even say that when I started my career, I saw the whole situation (of homosexuals) very differently. At first they said I was gay; there were rumors that I was too,” Pulido said in a 2010 interview translated from Spanish by El Norte.

Pulido responded to the sexuality-related comments with several posts, including a 2019 post on his personal X account: “Igualmente amigo, no homo.”
In a 2015 post, Pulido taunted pharmaceutical executive Martin Shkreli, who was later sentenced to seven years in prison: “Don’t drop the soaps in a hole.”
After announcing his campaign last fall, Pulido faced scrutiny over resurfaced posts from his personal X account linking to sexually explicit websites, as well as a post showing President Donald Trump urinating on a Hollywood Walk of Fame star.

“I’d like to give you the biggest ‘f— you’, you s—, one-hole, d— head, motherfucker—-,” Pulido wrote in another post.
Pulido also gained attention after previously describing himself as a “winter Texan” because he spent most of the year in Mexico.
