GOP Congressional Candidate Accused of Being ‘Fake Texan’ Making ‘Fake Video of Fake Bull Ride’

A Republican congressional candidate is coming under fire over his new public appearance as a cowboy.

“Fake Texan makes fake video of fake bull ride,” Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) tweeted in response to Dan Rodimer’s video.

Rodimer, a former professional wrestler, is campaigning for a House of Representatives seat in Texas.

Gaetz continued, “We already have enough phonies in 🏛️Congress. Texans, please send this Nevada man back to his true home state (where he lost two prior elections). Texas shouldn’t import its congressmen. Big Dan is all hat, no cattle.”

Rodimer ran for 🏛️Congress in Nevada last year, when he said he was a “small businessman, a family man, living in the suburbs.” He lost the race in Nevada in November 2020.

Now, Rodimer is pitching himself as a former professional wrestler, politician, and bull rider.
