¶ Herrera Launched Sexually Explicit Insults Against Moms Demand Action’s Shannon Watts
Herrera Used Sexually Explicit Language To Attack Women And Children. According to Medias Touch, “Texas congressional candidate Brandon Herrera’s past comments include sexually explicit attacks on women and crude remarks about motherhood and children. In a January 2023 video post on X, Herrera attacked Moms Demand Action founder Shannon Watts, stating, ‘Being a mother doesn’t make your opinion any more or less valid. Just because you let somebody creampie you doesn’t mean I have to give a shit about political opinions.’ ‘Creampie’ is a vulgar term referencing a man ejaculating into a woman.” [Medias Touch, 7/17/26]
Herrera: “Being A Mother Doesn’t Make Your Opinion Any More Or Less Valid. Just Because You Let Somebody Creampie You Doesn’t Mean I Have To Give A Shit About Political Opinions. The Fact That You Kept Your Cum Trophy Doesn’t Make You Any Less Wrong About The Dumb Shit That You Say.” According to a post on Brandon Herrera’s Twitter, “HERRERA: Now directly to Shannon Watts. Hi Shannon, long-time viewer, first time caller. First off, I want to get it off my chest, I think Moms Demand Action is fucking stupid. Being a mother doesn’t make your opinion any more or less valid. Just because you let somebody creampie you doesn’t mean I have to give a shit about political opinions. The fact that you kept your cum trophy doesn’t make you any less wrong about the dumb shit that you say.”
