Some Americans may remember Air Force veteran MJ Hegar's viral campaign ad, Doors, from her run to represent Texas's 31st Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives. Hegar's campaign was ultimately unsuccessful, but she hasn't given up and she certainly isn't quieting down.

Earlier this month, Hegar won the Democratic primary to take on Republican Texas Senator John Cornyn in the state's election this November.


Responding to her win, Cornyn's campaign likened Hegar to a Hollywood elite, saying in a recent ad:

"MJ's part of Hollywood, from her props to her producers...She's Elizabeth Warren on a motorcycle."

But in an interview with Dallas Morning News, Hegar didn't hold back in responding to the Cornyn campaign.

Hegar said:

"John Cornyn has shown time and again that he is a bootlicker who's just going to prop up his party leaders and do as he's told, and Texans can abide a lot of thing, but they cannot abide a spineless lapdog."

In an interview cited by the same outlet, Hegar said that Cornyn was

"A lackey and a spineless bootlicker"

The unfiltered words signal that Hegar's head is no longer in primary mode, it's fully focused on the uphill battle she has to defeat Cornyn in a solid Red state.

She isn't backing down from her strong stance.

Since the 2018 midterms—in which former Democratic Presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke narrowly lost to the universally disliked incumbent Republican Senator Ted Cruz—Texas has signaled a slow but steady trend toward blue. Even recent Fox News polls show Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden with a small lead over President Donald Trump, who won the state by nine points in 2016.

People agreed with Hegar's assessment of Cornyn.







And the stance doesn't appear to have lost her any support.




Election Day in the United States is on November 3rd.

Conservatives Predictably Outraged After Mattel Introduces New Barbie With Type 1 Diabetes

Conservatives lashed out at toymaker Mattel after the company introduced a new Barbie doll with Type 1 diabetes, including an insulin pump and blood sugar tracker—an action they say is "woke" while not understanding the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.

Mattel revealed a new partnership with Breakthrough T1D— formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation—to launch a Barbie doll that authentically represents people living with Type 1 diabetes. The collaboration, Mattel said, ensures the doll “truly captures the community,” including accessories that “accurately reflect the medical equipment” commonly used by individuals with the condition.

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
