Quico Canseco gains after Ciro Rodriguez outburt on constituent

From Eric Dondero:

Democrat Congressman Ciro Rodriguez of San Antonio has some anger management issues. Last week at a meeting with constituents at a local Mexican restaurant, Rodriguez lashed out at a lady who asked him a question. Being challenged by an attendee on the accuracy of his CBO numbers, he banged his stack full of papers on a table in front of her, and said:

"Let me finish, otherwise... if you're not willing to dialogue then... Ma'am don't accuse me of not saying the truth... It's not a (unintelligible) ego... If you're not going to dialogue... I'm not going to take this any more."

Rodriguez was forced to apologize. According to MySanAntonio.com he issued an apology:

"for losing my temper"

Rodriguez's outburst has now given under-dog Republican Quico Canseco an unexpected boost in his campaign.

"Quico Canseco had already outraised Rodriguez on the finances this quarter, and was running neck and neck with him in the polls," said Republican Party of Texas spokesman Bryan Preston. "But that video of Rodriguez losing it when a voter just asks him to tell the truth - that's so explosive that it may change the whole campaign. And though Rodriguez has tried to somehow blame it on Canseco, the fact is it's entirely his own fault for voting for Obamacare and believing anything that the Obama administration told him about that bill. Ciro is mad because he know's he's been had - by his own party."

Canseco also responded to the outburst saying Rodriguez:

“has a history of cursing and yelling at people who disagree with him.”

Canseco has gained additional strength on his tough on border control stance.

From Hispanic Trending:

We've haven't secured the border," said Francisco "Quico" Canseco, who is running for the Texas district Rep. Ciro Rodriguez, a Democrat, has held, on and off, since 1997. "Arizona acted because of a failure on the part of the federal government."
