Can confirm. I live in his district and went to a couple of his “events” (usually held at hipster breweries in Houston). He likes to act real friendly and genuine until someone asks him about campaign promises he has slacked on. He gets real salty, real quick and immediately pulls the “when I was wounded in Iraq” card. The back the blue brainlets then start cheering him on and shouting down the person who asked a reasonable question.

His big promise was halting overdevelopment in Houston in light of the Hurricane Harvey disaster, and I asked him about why he was at a realtor luncheon and have in fact seen real estate development speeding up rather than redeveloping failed commercial properties. He acted like I was bothering him. I’m in no way an environmentalist, but let’s be honest, how many new strip centers inhabited only by a vape shop do we really need?
