The oft-controversial agriculture commissioner draws fire for a remark that he says was a joke based on a famous salsa commercial.


Sid Miller didn’t take kindly to his hometown’s decision to limit a Confederate group’s presence in a Veterans Day parade. His response didn’t play too well, either.

The Texas agriculture commissioner, who isn’t afraid to stir the pot with controversial remarks, responded to a notice on Facebook that the Sons of Confederate Veterans group couldn’t fly their flags at Stephenville’s annual parade honoring veterans.
