The Tucker family has really painted themselves into a corner with all the contradicting stories and fables they have told over the last six years or so.
Granted, 98.5% of the lies were told by the idiot son Clayton, but once pappa Howard jumped into the mess with his own fables and delusions recently….well, it’s time to put ALLLL the bullshit onto one page so that Sid Miller and the Texas Board Of Elections can sort through it all and see the irrefutable proof that Clayton Tucker is NOT eligible to hold this office according to the Texas Agricultural Code.
All of these questions need to be answered publicly and fully before this kid can be taken seriously:
#1 – If you have “always been a ranching family,” and Clayton was the “heir apparent” from the start, then why did you spend $80,000 to send him to college to major in Political Science? Why waste that money at all, since he could have just gone right into his role as “fifth generation” Tucker rancher after high school to “work the land”? Weren’t the four previous generations of Tuckers enough of an education for him to learn the trade? He claims to have been “ranching” and “bailing hay” since he was a little nipper. Surely he was ready to step into his role as head rancher and businessman at that point??
Or at the VERY least, why not send him to school to major in agriculture, since you claim that is the “family business” and always has been?
#2 – After Clayton wasted four years and $80,000 on a useless degree and graduated in 2013, why did he immediately scurry off to China to be a kindergarten ‘teacher’? Seems VERY bizarre, to say the least. As an “oldest child of an oldest child whose duty was to the family ranch” (Clayton’s words) why would you not IMMEDIATELY return to the “ranch business” and start your career? You didn’t go to college to be a teacher AND you were supposedly the next generation of Tucker rancher. So why waste “a few years” (2013 to 2016) over in China doing God knows what? Makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, unless the REAL story is that Clayton was a rudderless fuckup who had no intention of ever being a rancher at all. He spent three years in China trying to “find himself” – like a girl.
#3 – Upon leisurely returning to Lampasas in 2016, Clayton did NOT jump into the “family ranching business” at all! He immediately became a “political organizer” for a communist political group called “Our Revolution.” He has mentioned this many, many times. When he ran for City council in 2021 (FIVE YEARS after his triumphant return to Lampasas) he listed his occupation on his candidacy papers as “political organizer” and NOT rancher!
#4 – How did you “lose your health insurance” in 2019 by running for office? Did you have insurance with Our Revolution and they terminated it? Is this just a huge lie to make it look like you are making a sacrifice (most likely)? If you were a Tucker Family Rancher this entire time, then you must have removed yourself from your own ranch-provided health insurance, right? Have you EVER had a single employee on the Tucker Family Ranch?
#5 – What “crops” were you “clearing a field” for back when the above photo was taken? Because it looks an AWFUL lot like you are just mowing the lawn here with the shredder attachment. Oh, and according to your latest rewrite of history, your crop is actually GRASS!! So why are you just destroying your “grass crop” here?
I know you aren’t cutting hay, because you posted this on November 30th and NOBODY is making hay then. The first freeze for this area is typically by November 12th. You’re a bit late, buddy.
#6 – if you were ALWAYS a rancher and you were ALWAYS up against Big Ag and the evil monopolies that were ruining the “family farm,”then how come when you ran for State Senate District 24 in 2020 did you make NO MENTION of ANY of those things?? In fact, here are your Top Three Issues – and they read like a Bernie Sanders/Our Revolution manifesto, not a career rancher. Oops…
#7 – If Clayton is a fifth-generation rancher (according to Clayton) or a sixth generation rancher (according to Howard) and the ranch has been around as a primary going concern all those many decades, then why did you only incorporate and name the ranch in December of 2023, a mere two years ago? How did you do business, pay taxes, etc without a corporate EIN tax number?
Don’t tell me you didn’t know how, because Clayton had SEVERAL other bullshit non-profits registered with the state long before that.
#8 – If you have “always been a ranching family” then why did you recently sneak into your own campaign website and scrub the word “ranch” and change it to “farming”?
#9 – If the ranch is in such a precarious position and it is SO important to you and the family that it survives, then why have you allowed Clayton to disappear and drive around Texas aimlessly for the last 7 months pretending to be a serious contender for a job he is not qualified for?
And my final question:
#10 – How in the hell did you NOT KNOW it was “baling hay,” you buffoon! BAHAHAHAHAHA!
