The war of words seemingly began when the DNC fired off an upbeat message on X, proclaiming, “Fired up. Ready to go. It’s time to take back Texas”

WASHINGTON, DC: A clash between Stephen Miller and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) over the Texas primary turned ugly as a DNC staffer disintegrated the professional boundaries.

The DNC staffer used the party’s official X (Twitter) account as a megaphone to throw a profanity-laced attack at White House deputy chief of staff, branding him “ugly” and bluntly telling him to “shut up.”

Democrat X account asks Stephen Miller to shut up

The war of words seemingly began when the DNC fired off an upbeat message on X, proclaiming, “Fired up. Ready to go. It’s time to take back Texas.”

The post quickly garnered a response from Miller, who falsely claimed on X that Texas State Representative James Talarico was the Democratic Party’s first “transgender Senate candidate.” ​

“The Democrats made history in Texas by nominating their first transgender senate candidate,” he wrote on X.



Ahead of his November faceoff with Ken Paxton, Talarico, who recently defeated Sen. John Cornyn (R) in the primary runoff, has become a frequent target of Republican criticism, facing false accusations that he is transgender.

In response to Miller’s attack, the DNC account swiftly fired back, saying, “shut up, you ugly f—.”



The post appears to have been made by the DNC senior digital strategist, Paulina Mangubat, who previously worked as digital content and creative director for the Democrats and currently serves on the team responsible for managing the party’s @TheDemocrats X account, which has 2.4 million followers.

Later that day, Mangubat fired back from her personal X account, boasting that her team had "ratioed" Miller. She accompanied the claim with a sharp jab, calling him "ugly, evil, cruel, and bald”.

The Trump advisor’s wife, Katie, soon jumped into the fracas and called the post a “violent political rhetoric.”

“This is the same violent political rhetoric that is leading people to shoot up, whether it be the White House Correspondents’ Dinner or President Trump in Butler,” she said on Fox News show 'The Ingraham Angle'.

​“What remains to be seen is…this is an anonymous account,” she said, before claiming it is run by a “sad liberal woman.”​



Katie publicly identified Mangubat on social media, describing her as 30-years-old, and “unmarried with no kids.”​

“This is what a sad, unhappy female Liberal looks like. It’s why Pew reports 50% of them have been diagnosed with a mental condition,” she shot back in defense of her hubby.

Mangubat responded with a photo of her trying on wedding gowns and disclosed her impending nuptials.



“Well, now seems like a good time to share that I’m getting married! We just put down the deposit on the venue and bought my dress lol.”

Katie replied that “marrying an illegal to get him a green card doesn’t count.”
