Texas Republican won't explain why he called his opponent an 'Indo-American carpetbagger’

Rep. Pete Olson, a Texas Republican in a tough reelection battle, would not explain to a constituent why he recently called his Democratic opponent an “Indo-American carpetbagger.” In a video of an Oct. 23 campaign meet-and-greet obtained by HuffPost, Olson reminisced about a political rally President Trump held in Texas, taking particular relish in the derision directed at the news media during the event.
