Dori Deletes

More fun with alliteration.

Dori Fenenbock quickly deleted a social media post touting an endorsement from El Paso boxer David Rodriguez.

I guess she hadn't done her homework on the guy, so blame the staff for this one, but Rodriguez is a pro-Trump right-winger.

Fenenbock has been trying to shake the label of a Republican in Democratic clothing for a long time now due to her voting record, contributions to Republican candidates and her husband's financial support for extremist Republican candidates.

Rodriguez and I obviously don't have the same political views, which is fine. We live in America and everyone is entitled to their beliefs. No one is saying Rodriguez isn't entitled to his beliefs, but the political reality is that it is a problem for Fenenbock.

Bigly.

The problem for Fenenbock is when she's touting the endorsement, she ends up having to answer for the beliefs of the endorser, and in this case they are diametrically opposed to the platform of the Democratic Party.

But boy, how quickly does she flip on a vato, amirite? Here was the screenshot of the endorsement before she took it down. She went from being "Proud to have El Paso's #1 Heavyweight" to completely making him disappear faster than a Mafia boss makes a snitch disappear.

The endorsement, which was sorta tipped off when one of her campaign staffers posted pictures on Facebook recently, drew very quick and sharp criticism from Latino Victory.

According to their website, "The Latino Victory Fund is a progressive political action committee with the mission of growing Latino political power by increasing Latino representation at every level of government – from the school board to the Senate to the White House. Latino Victory identifies, recruits, and develops candidates for public office while building a permanent base of Latino donors to support them. Partnering with leading organizations, it shapes public discourse in a way that reflects the growing influence of the Latino community while also building cross-constituency alliances that can move the country forward."

The group is decidedly anti-Trump, so its no wonder that they posted this tweet shortly after Fenenbock went public with the endorsement.

This is the first thing remotely close to political advertising that Fenenbock has had to face as a candidate. It is unclear if Latino Victory will use this as part of a negative ad against Fenenbock, but if there is ultimately a run-off election for the congressional race, it is very likely that Fenenbock will start facing ads that are critical of her record as well.

Of course Fenenbock has not given any public comment on why the post was taken down and has made no mention of the endorsement since. It will be interesting to see if media calls to get a comment on the endorsement and how Fenenbock reconciles Rodriguez's views with her candidacy.

Because the swift removal of the post Fenenbock should be able to answer why it was taken down so quickly and if the answer is because of Rodriguez's views, she would do well to explain how they are the same or different from one another.

Especially in an election that features so many anti-Trump voters. Especially at the 11th hour. If this is leveraged right in the last few days before Election Day, it may be what prevents a run-off.
