Trump pardoned Cuellar last year after he and his wife were indicted on federal bribery and money laundering charges in 2024.
The politically motivated indictment came after he lashed out at the Biden administration’s handling of the southern border, causing millions to pour into our country illegally.
Trump previously announced Cuellar and his wife’s pardon, commending the Congressman for taking a stand against his own party. Crooked Joe used the FBI and DOJ to ‘take out’ a member of his own Party after Highly Respected Congressman Henry Cuellar bravely spoke out against Open Borders, and the Biden Border ‘Catastrophe,” Trump said.
However, just days later, Cuellar announced he would run for reelection as a Democrat again. Trump previously blasted Cuellar for “Such a lack of LOYALTY” last December. He went on to endorse former Minor League Baseball player Tano Tijerina, who is running against Cuellar as a Republican.
Now, ahead of his rally in San Antonio, Texas, on Wednesday night, Trump urged voters again to vote for Tijerina.
Trump also went off on Cuellar, slamming him as “disloyal and ungrateful.”
“Tano, a legendary Baseball Star, Great Athlete, respected County Judge, and fine person, will hopefully beat Cuellar so that people can show how bad it is when you are recognized and humiliated as being one of the most disloyal political people on Earth!” Trump said.
Full statement below:
To the people of Texas, I am headed your way, and one of the people that I am going to pay respect to today is Tano Tijerina. Out of love and passion, he is running against a Dumocrat, Henry Cuellar, who, along with his wife, I pardoned, at the request of his daughters, because they said, “Please don’t let them take our parents away!”
They would have gone to jail on federal fraud and conspiracy charges, for over 20 years and, in fact, Henry Cuellar’s brother, a Sheriff, a short time later, was indicted on the same charges. In any event, I did the pardons, and made no deal, where a crooked politician would have, but I thought there would be a good chance that Cuellar, who was persecuted by Democrats because they didn’t like him, would have routinely gone over to the Republican Party — The people that saved him from years in prison.
Shockingly, Cuellar announced, only a few days later, that he is going to remain a Dumocrat. Many considered this to be a tremendous act of disloyalty, and certainly, showed him to be an extremely ungrateful person. His wife, as I heard, wanted him to turn to the man and the Party that helped him, but he wouldn’t do it so, because they’re vicious, the Dumocrats will have a chance to go after him again.
In any event, the man running against him, Tano Tijerina, is a STAR and, hopefully, will WIN! We call that payback for a disloyal and ungrateful person, a person whose life has been saved only to go back into the clutches of the people that tried so hard to destroy him. Henry Cuellar is a LOSER who, right now, should be serving a longterm jail sentence with his wife in a top level penitentiary.
Tano, a legendary Baseball Star, Great Athlete, respected County Judge, and fine person, will hopefully beat Cuellar so that people can show how bad it is when you are recognized and humiliated as being one of the most disloyal political people on Earth! I only wish Henry Cuellar’s daughters, who begged for his survival, would have used the same level of charm to convince their mother and father to do the right thing.
I am very proud of the fact that I didn’t make a deal with Cuellar, which I easily could have, but relied on his character, which turned out to be a faulty one. Tano Tijerina, on the other hand, loves Loredo, and all of South Texas but, most importantly, he truly loves the United States of America.
VOTE FOR TANO TIJERINA, and show people that disloyalty only causes loss, heartache, and grief! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP
