From the editor:  Although I'd suspected and noticed his influence in some earlier Montoya articles, Tad Hasse is now writing under his own byline and has penned some gobbledygook about political corruption on "El Rrun Rrun," prompting an anonymous commenter on the Montoya/Hasse blog to ask: "Isn't this the county employee who wanted to take a hand in evolution by wiping out Democrats?" 

Actually, Hasse was employed by the City of Brownsville, while running for the State Board of Education, when he flippantly told some farmers north of Corpus Christi his desire to "exterminate Democrats."

The late Carlos Cascos, the de facto leader of the Cameron County Republican Party, was not pleased with Hasse's approach and offered some verbal chastisement.  

Below is an article from the "Brownsville Observer" written over six years ago(much of the article didn't age well):

Roseanne Barr, "Exterminating Democrats," Tad Hasse, Carlos Cascos

Roseanne Barr

It's surreal.  Trump violates ethical standards daily, profiteering from his office while son-in-law Jared does the same.  No one gives a shit.  Trump's approval ratings soar to 42%.  His base is glued to Fox News.

Trump and his son-in-law are merely doing internationally what Ernie Hernandez and Gilberto Hinojosa tried to do locally.(And, we called Ernie and Gilberto ratas?)

Trump is making Roseanne Barr's America "great."  Soon factories will be burning coal, covering our cities with blackened clouds and our nostrils with soot.  Hydrocarbons will be returning to our exhaust pipes as Trump repeals the EPA.

Tad Hasse

Meanwhile, our friend, SBOE candidate Tad Hasse,  a rare educated Trumpite, defends himself against racism and Democraticide, somewhat feebly, on Bobby Wightman's BROWNSVILLE VOICE.

I'd floated the idea early on with Hasse about addressing racism charges head-on via this blog, but he was busy at the time with another issue.  I didn't push.  

While Hasse, in private conversation, spoke about "exterminating the Democratic cockroaches," the corrupt politicos from Colorado County, he was quoted as wanting to "exterminate Democrats."  

Pest control became equated with genocide and the full-of-himself Hasse was almost Hitlerized.

Carlos Cascos

County Judge candidate Carlos Cascos weighed in:  

"Bigotry and/or racism is unacceptable. Period. Words matter. If in fact Tad used a word such as "exterminate" in the context as has been published, a public appology(sic) is warranted. I do not condone, support or accept any words, phrases or terms that are discriminatory against anyone.

Carlos Cascos."

Interestingly, any discussion of "exterminating Democrats" potentially hurts Cascos more than Hasse.  

While Cascos needs plus 50% of the Cameron County vote(predominately Democrat) to win the county judge race, Hasse only needs about 35%, with District 2 in the SBOE race composed of 14 counties, many of which Hasse won 3-1 in the primary.
