The Democratic nominee for Fort Bend Precinct 3 Commissioner in Texas has been arrested and charged with misrepresentation of identity after sending himself racist messages impersonating Republicans.
A Texas political candidate has been arrested on charges of sending fake hate messages to himself on social media. Taral Patel, the Democratic candidate for Fort Bend Precinct 3 Commissioner, was arrested by Texas Rangers and is being charged with Online Impersonation and Misrepresentation of Identity. Authorities allege that Patel spent months sending a stream of racist and derogatory comments to himself, impersonating a supporter of incumbent Republican Commissioner Andy Meyers.
According to the arrest record for Patel, the investigation was launched in October 2023 after Meyers requested authorities to look into who was responsible for the vitriolic comment made at Patel. Patel previously posted a collage of hateful comments ostensibly sent by Meyers supporters, claiming the messages represented a 'deep and misguided fear' among the Republican Party.
