Democrat Stephen Daniel calls conservative group mailers warning he will destroy houses a ‘fictitious attack’


WASHINGTON — North Texas lawyer Stephen Daniel hit back against mailers sent by an influential and deep-pocketed conservative group, calling them a “fictitious attack” sent on behalf of incumbent Republican Rep. Ron Wright’s campaign in the race for Texas' 6th Congressional District.

The mailers from Club for Growth, which has endorsed Wright, claim Daniel supports the “Defund the police” movement and show the Democrat’s image with pictures of a burning home, an overturned police car and an upside down American flag in front of a burning business. “Don’t let Stephen Daniel destroy your home,” reads the mailer.

Daniel says the claims are baseless.

“I do not support defunding the police and have never said it,” he said in a statement Monday. “This is a completely fictitious attack.”

The group hinges its claims on three tweets from the last four months: One that Daniel’s campaign Twitter account wrote about attending a vigil for George Floyd, one from an unrelated user about Daniel’s attendance of the vigil and one that Daniel’s account “liked.”
