Texas Democrat Confuses The Communist Manifesto For Mein Kampf In Embarrassing Fundraising Pitch
By Jack Cowhick (DCNF) - All News Pipeline
A Texas Democrat mistook the Communist Manifesto for Mein Kampf while attempting to raise funds for her campaign in a deleted X post Wednesday.
Katy Padilla Stout, the Democratic nominee for Texas’ 23rd congressional district, wrote in her X post that her Republican opponent, YouTuber Brandon Herrera, “defends owning a copy of Mein Kampf.” She included an ActBlue donation link at the end of the post as well as a picture of Herrera holding a book.
Herrera replied to the now-deleted post, writing, “That’s the communist manifesto, genius.” He included his own donation link, requesting donations from individuals who “want to support a candidate who can read.”
The Republican candidate mocked Stout in another X post, writing that she “apparently doesn’t know the difference between the Communist Manifesto and Mein Kampf,” and that she “didn’t know we have 27 counties in the district, not 26.”
Stout claimed on the podcast Mission: Texas that the 23rd congressional district “spans 26 counties,” despite it including 27 as of the 2025 congressional map.
My opponent apparently doesn’t know the difference between the Communist Manifesto and Mein Kampf.

Just like she didn’t know we have 27 counties in the district, not 26.
Anyhow, Clueless Katy is in for a rough morning when she sees our Q3 numbers… https://t.co/fshdjGijgX
Stout deleted the post shortly after, prompting Herrera to post a screenshot of their interaction and question her.
“Embarrassed that a school teacher doesn’t know how to read the title of the book in your own photo?” Herrera wrote.
Why did you delete this post @katy4congress?

Embarrassed that a school teacher doesn’t know how to read the title of the book in your own photo?
Just like the Big Bend fiasco I caught you in. You’re either a liar or incompetent. Both are disqualifying. pic.twitter.com/9K1Ro0HK5W
Herrera became the Republican nominee for the district in March 2026 after former Republican Texas Rep. Tony Gonzalez dropped out of the race. Gonzalez had been in hot water with his own party, having admitted to an affair with a staffer who committed suicide in September 2025.
