Correction. Cuellar dropped to a C rating because of his Yes Vote on the expansion of background check Post #12 & link.

Now.
Can someone inform Rep Cortez, so she can correct her tweets.
Thanks

Rep. Cuellar does NOT have an NRA A rating.
He has an C rating with the NRA, an C rating in 2020, and voted yes on House gun reform legislation. The A rating she's referring to in her tweets is from yrs ago. At least be truthful when criticizing another Democrat..[/b]




Cuellar had an C rating from the NRA in 2020.

[LeftInTX]

1. Thanks! I had no idea!

[Budi]

2. He's supported gun background cks & the violence against women act.

Politicizing the slaughter of innocents in the Tx school, to trash talk the entire Dem leadership is really sick.

Just sayin.
At least be truthful. Ffs
I have no idea why she's tweeting this stuff.
Maybe she got the wrong info from someone.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

3. Thank you for posting this

4. Well, this is certainly interesting. The NRA certainly endorsed him in 2018.

This is from 2018. I wonder how many of these positions he still holds.


Dear Texas NRA Member:

Please vote Henry Cuellar for U.S. House of Representatives in the 28th Congressional District of Texas on or before Tuesday, November 6th. For more information on voting, please call 1-800-252-8683 or visit http://www.votetexas.gov/index.html.

The NRA Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) has endorsed Henry Cuellar for the U.S. House of Representatives in the 28th Congressional District of Texas. Henry has a proven pro-Second Amendment record and is committed to protecting our right to self-defense!

For the following reasons, Henry Cuellar has received our endorsement and “A” rating:

Supports Right-to-Carry – Voted for the strongest Concealed Carry Reciprocity legislation ever to come before the U.S. Congress, which would ensure that the nearly 20 million law-abiding Americans who can carry a concealed firearm in their home state are able to do so in any other state that does not prohibit it.
Opposes Semi-Auto Ban – Opposes a ban on commonly owned semi-automatic firearms used for hunting, recreational shooting and self-defense.
Supports Veterans’ Second Amendment Rights – Voted for legislation to protect veterans’ Second Amendment rights.
Opposes Backdoor Gun Ban – Voted to strike down an Obama-era regulation that would have stripped Social Security recipients of their Second Amendment rights without due process.
Supports America’s Hunting Heritage – Voted for the Sportsmen’s Heritage and Recreation Enhancement (SHARE) Act, a bill that would benefit sportsmen throughout Texas and the country.
Opposes Criminalizing Private Firearm Transfers – Opposes the Pelosi/Schumer/Bloomberg so-called “universal” background check system that would criminalize the private transfer of firearms which, according to the Obama Justice Department, is only enforceable through federal firearms registration.
Opposes Operation Choke Point – Voted for legislation to end an abusive Obama-era program, known as Operation Choke Point, in which the Department of Justice intimidated banks into refusing or severing financial services to legally-operated ammunition and firearms dealers.
Opposes Ammo Ban – Signed a letter to the Obama Administration opposing its flagrant attempt to ban the most popular and widely used ammunition in America.
Opposes Gun Confiscation – Voted to prohibit gun confiscation during states of emergency, as happened after Hurricane Katrina.
Supports Manufacturers and Dealers – Voted for legislation that prevents the American gun industry from being sued into bankruptcy through frivolous lawsuits.
Please vote Henry Cuellar for U.S. House of Representatives on or before Tuesday, November 6th, and please encourage your friends and family to do the same!

P.S. Please don’t forget to vote Ted Cruz for U.S. Senate, Greg Abbott for Governor, Dan Patrick for Lieutenant Governor and Ken Paxton for Attorney General!

5. 2018. This is 2022. Did she state the change in rating from 2020 F?

No.

As for ROE, he is not for abortion personally because of his faith, but believes it should be allowed in cases of rape, incest, a problem pregancy or if the life of the mother is threatened.

Henry Cuellar also fully supported the 2016 Campaign of Hillary Clinton which would have granted America a liberal minded Supreme Court.
We now have a RW christofascist SC that dismanantled ROE, & strengthened gun rights.

I'm not quite sure what her point is to the trashing of our entire Dem leadership, when it's a serious examining of past actions that may be more helpful.

[hamsterjill]

28. Cuellar was the LONE Dem to vote against protecting abortion rights.

He’s owned by Republican business men and was hand picked to run as a Democrat.

Are you familiar with the name James R. Leininger?

[scipan]

30. That is false. He had a C rating in 2020.

See post #11. Please correct your posts (at least 2).

You have been told several times that you are wrong.

7. I just got an email today from the Justice Democrats lying about Cuellar's rating

The email from the Justice Democrats are so full of lies that they are fun to read and laugh at. This is the email that I received today

Pelosi and the rest of House leadership went all in for the anti-choice, NRA "A-rated" Cuellar. Cuellar is everything the Democratic Party SHOULD oppose, yet he got fundraising support from leadership and Pelosi sent robocalls directly to voters for Cuellar.

Again, I enjoy reading the emails from the Justice Democrats and I have even listened to a couple of their podcasts which are amusingly called "Just Us" Democrats.

[betsuni]

8. Horrible!

[Hortensis]

17. :) Typical. Opposition to liberal Democratic power is their reason for existence,

and deceit their main tactic, unfortunate truths far too inadequate for their purposes. If they didn't manufacture enough lies and slander to satisfy those they draw, they'd just...blow away.

[ancianita]

9. He may have evolved. Here's his past voting record. He's ahead of Cisneros by 177 votes.

When it comes to gun control, his votes and quotes are still worth a look at.

Cuellar had an F rating from the NRA in 2020.

Is not true

Before that, Cuellar was one of only 3 A Rated Dems:

[Budi]

12. Well so is yours. And Ms Cortez as well. Dropped from A to C.

..lower grades in 2020 than the last time they were evaluated. Representatives Sanford Bishop of Georgia and Henry Cuellar of Texas, two of only three Democrats who received campaign contributions from the NRA during the 2018 midterms, saw their ratings drop from A to C. Both backed an expansion of background checks last year. .

https://www.thetrace.org/2020/09/nra-grades-2020-election/

The rating dropped because of his YES VOTE on the expansion of background checks.

Now I expect to see Rep Cortez correct her false statement.

*ignore is a necessary feature.

My correction noted ~~ From A to C

*Now about that 5 Times No Vote on the Brady Bill that gave immunity to gun manufacturers.
Later~

[Celerity]

14. you need to self delete, this is a false OP, it's disinfo

also show me anywhere in this OP thread where I made a false claim.

as you said

Well so is yours.

No, I made no false claim in my only reply in the thread

another untruth from you

[Budi]

19. No it's not.

He dropped from A to C because of his YES VOTE on the expansion of background checks.

Your opinion is yours.
Bye. Ignore.

[Celerity]

20. you missed an a part when you edited it just now

That repeated claim is not true, and still remains

[Budi]

21. Read the link in post #12.

😴

[Celerity]

22. that link has the ratings that show a C, not an F, in 2020, for Cuellar, you already changed

your title to a correct statement, yet you did not change a repeat of the false claim that he was F rated in 2020



here is your link from your post #12


https://www.thetrace.org/2020/09/nra-grades-2020-election/


and here is what your linked article says:



that is correct


but you still claim in your OP, post edit, that he was F-rated in 2020, which he was not


here again is the false claim, that still is in your OP:

43. I'm not wrong, I'm correct, as usual, and the OP edited their title to reflect what I said all along

I did NOT claim he was still A rated, and anyone, AOC, etc etc included, who claimed that was also wrong.

I said (correctly) that Cuellar had a C rating in 2020 not an F like the OP claimed, and the OP changed their title long ago (they had it incorrectly as an F)

here:






also, the OP had still left one more erroneous 'F claim', at the bottom of his OP (see my snapshot above in the thread), which they have now correctly changed to a 'C' as well, via a 2nd edit (go look at their edits)


then



now






.
now as your reply to me now:

the tweet from NewbieHoward you posted claiming Cuellar has an F rating is false, even your other tweets you posted show this to be the case

this is FALSE:

here again is documented proof that it was a C, not an F, the C was a downgrade of an A rating, which I also show below


https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xfkxav6oA-gSgKlRY34vkYHVimDPB2Gg6UMIrVWjfZ0/edit#gid=1298907422




https://web.archive.org/web/20200923234045/https://www.nrapvf.org/grades/texas/







a 2019 article from the NYT showing his A rating before it was downgraded to a C (NOT an F):

In Texas, a Lone House Democrat Has an ‘A’ Rating From the N.R.A. Can He Survive?

Sept. 9, 2019

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/09/us/politics/henry-cuellar-nra.html

The NRA has not yet posted ratings for Cuellar in 2022


https://www.nrapvf.org/grades/Texas/




they did not grade him (or any Dem) in the 28th district primary either, just Rethugs:

https://web.archive.org/web/20220209165819/https://www.nrapvf.org/grades/Texas/



the last time he was graded on their site, November 2020, he was a C, and the Rethug was not graded

FINALLY

let's revisit that tweet YOU posted


WHY are YOU posting broad brush ultra smears like this????????????????

if you posted this POS tweet as an OP it would be hidden so fast your head would spin:

Link to tweet

and the EXACT part of the tweet YOU posted that I am referring to, just so I am CRYSTAL clear



seriously, why the hell are you posting this bullshit???

Are you going to now claim that people like Jamie Raskin (a target of another twitter troll, @JusticeDemWatch, you post on DU) and Sanders (forever targeted by that same troll you post here, including them openly calling him a Putin asset, the literally saying he is working for Putin) hate Jews?

A tonne of 'Leftists' ARE JEWISH ffs

It is just sad to see this utter shite posted here by you

[LetMyPeopleVote]

45. Thank you for the laughs

Your posts always amuse me because you are always WRONG

[Nixie]

35. Wait, is this cyber bullying to force someone to delete a perfectly

good thread because you want a correction? I can link to your thoughts on cyber bullying, but how does this actually work?

The sentiment of the thread is still in tact, so no need to delete something just because you don’t want it. It’s a perfectly accurate message overall. Not to mention Texas’ gun culture that is unquestionably a political liability.

[mcar]

13. Didn't she support an anti-abortion candidate

running against Sharice Davids?

[Budi]

15. Yes she & Sanders both selected him over the Emily's List endorsed Dem Sharice Davids

Think his name was Weld. Welder, that's it.
Election 2018 Kansas

He moved his family into that District conveniently in time to run against Davids.
Btw...Didn't they just make a big to-do about Maloney doing this same thing in NY's GOP gerrymandered districts?

Go figure, huh.

[mcar]

16. OK for me but not for thee, I guess

[Budi]

18. Apparently & kinda seems to be a pattern.

Oh well.

Henry Cuellar won his primary election & its on to the GE.
He will win that one as well.

Beto is the one Tx needs more than anything rightt now. He's standing there face to face with a screaming & dangerous Tx criminal org. The NRA, who sits at the pinnacle between Russia's global mob & the Republican Party in the US.

Beto has taken on the global criminal organization of the NRA, RW America & Russia.

He wasn't named Robert Francis for nothing!
He wa named after Robert Francis Kennedy, afterall.

[Nixie]

23. Yes, it's definitely a pattern. I'm glad you called out the

lie/hypocrisy. It’s sickening to see Democrats so maligned. It just ludicrous that the brand builders refuse to acknowledge regional differences. New York is not like South Texas.

And that Beto! He was awesome yesterday! 👍👍👍

24. Thank you Nixie.

Beto started playing the long game here in Tx years ago.

We just have to help get him there 💙

not believe Cisneros does. It is a conservative district.

33. Exactly.. Dems need to stop

Trashing our General Election Democratic Candidates.

All of my choices didn't win the primary.. I'm behind those who won their primaries now.

Suck it up.. they lost.. Don't Spoil it for the Country & Planet.

[peggysue2]

29. x1000, Cha

We can have our differences during a primary but once a candidate wins and becomes our nominee, we all need to rally around the winner bc there's so much at stake and our majorities are razor thin.

I don't know enough about Texas politics to even wager an opinion between Cuellar and Cisneros.

But then, I'd love to see Beto O'Rourke bulldoze Abbott and his nasty crew.

37. Congrats to Henry Cuellar (with the C rating from the NRA).

CONGRATS on The Win !💙
Gratitude to all in his District who voted BLUE.

A House seat that will continue to give President Biden all the support he needs to get the US back on track, both home & abroad.

Our Democratic Party is again strengthened by the re-election of Rep Cuellar.
A good man to have in the House.~
Now lets seal the deal in November for Cuellar.

[Hortensis]

38. :) The people spoke, we respect their choice. Now,

on to enlarge the house Democratic majority. It's desperately, existentially, important to liberal progressive government that the GOP not get the majority.

44. Cueller, Manchin, Seminar, in reality they're all submerged mines in the straits of the basic party

Go ahead and alert. Then tell me I'm why I'm wrong.

[Budi]

46. Well speaking of "submerged mines in the straits of the basic party"..

I got a few more to add to the list....

Actually, they represent the demographic of the district they're elected to.
More power to any Dem who can win in a Red district. The majority of the House & Senate is key to committees, Speaker, legislative power in DC.

In the end each voter had 2 choices.
Blue or Red...
You can choose to support one or the other on election day.
