Congressman Joaquin Castro's attempt to shame Texas constituents who donated to President Donald Trump continues to deliver negative results.
After Castro released the list on Twitter, he later learned that he outed one of his own donors from the San Antonio area.
A Washington Examiner review of Federal Elections Committee filings found three individuals on the list who gave $5,600 to Trump, the maximum available by law for the primary and general election, and Joaquin Castro, a congressman from San Antonio who also leads the presidential campaign of his brother, a former San Antonio mayor.
Julián Castro served as San Antonio mayor from 2009 to 2014, before being tapped as HUD secretary for the final two-and-a-half years of President Barack Obama's administration.
The congressman's approach left many of the San Antonio-area Trump donors on the list who gave to the Castro brothers angered and hurt.
"It is just amazing to me that he would do that," said William Greehey, a philanthropist and former CEO of Valero Energy, who donated $5,000 to Joaquin Castro's congressional campaign in 2013, covering the primary and general elections.
Would the same Democrats that endorse Castro's right to publish Trump donors, also endorse the right to publish the names of those who exercised their right to get an abortion in the daily paper or online or post their addresses or phone numbers? What he did was as wrong, as what Rep. Maxine Waters did in asking folks to go after members of Trump's administration.
