美国参议院候选人詹姆斯·塔拉里科与民主党地方议员本·弗洛雷斯在科珀斯克里斯蒂的集会上引发争议，他们批评德克萨斯州“心胸狭隘”的政治环境。弗洛雷斯在煽动性演讲中宣称“我们都是跨性别者”和“我们都是吃豆腐的同性恋素食者”。这种极左翼言论引发强烈反响，外界质疑该州的政治策略。

加州第48国会选区国会民主党候选人玛尼·冯·威尔珀特将于周四晚间在一家以性暗示宣传和LGBTQ夜生活为特色的场所举办筹款活动。
这家名为“八卦烧烤”的圣地亚哥餐厅兼夜总会推出了一系列成人主题特价活动与专场，例如“操我周五夜”、“女孩、基佬与跨性别者周日场”以及“卡巴莱变装早午餐骄傲盛典”。
该店还提供“前戏”和“Happy Ending（事后温柔服务）”等菜品。

此次筹款活动凸显了威尔珀特与LGBTQ群体的紧密联系，以及她自几年前公开自己双性恋身份以来，在国会竞选期间对该议题的重视。
在一位共和党观察人士看来，这种议程过度强调了性议题。
“脱离群众的玛尼·冯·威尔珀特为她的激进竞选找到了完美的大本营，”全国共和党国会委员会发言人克里斯蒂安·马丁内斯在给福克斯新闻数字频道的一份声明中表示。
“她的变态议程向儿童推广激素治疗，将家长排除在外，并向未成年人展示色情内容。这种危险的议程应该放在夜总会，而不是国会。”
威尔珀特在其竞选网站上将“LGBTQ+权利”列为首要议程之一，与重组移民海关执法局（ICE）和惩罚低薪企业等其他优先事项并列。
在她的网站上，她承诺将该议题作为联邦层面的立法重点。
“在国会，她将努力推动通过《平等法案》，让加州人享有的保护在全国范围内得到保障。她将直面各项攻击，从禁止性别确认护理到试图压制学校里的LGBTQ+学生，”网站内容写道。
过去，威尔珀特曾带头推动保留圣地亚哥公共图书馆中与骄傲月相关的材料。

2023年，一名活动人士将兰乔佩尼亚奎托斯一家图书馆内几乎所有与性别取向相关的书籍移除，并威胁称将一直保留这些书籍，直到该县拆除骄傲主题展示品。此后，威尔珀特牵头更换了这些书籍。当时身为市议员的威尔珀特还推动在36家圣地亚哥公共图书馆扩展骄傲主题展示。
“坦白说，我对此感到震惊，因为从图书馆中移除LGBTQ内容是你可能在密西西比州看到的情况，但绝不会在圣地亚哥这里发生，”她告诉《圣地亚哥论坛报》。
“剥夺他人阅读LGBTQ主题书籍的权利，不过是另一种告诉LGBTQ群体他们不属于这里的方式——这大错特错。每个人都有权阅读自己想读的内容，但绝对没有人有权阻止他人阅读反映自身经历和背景的书籍。”
她在图书馆事务上的工作为她的国会竞选赢得了加州平等协会等团体的支持，该协会将此作为其背书的依据之一。
“在其职业生涯中，玛尼一直是LGBTQ+群体以及构成加州第48选区的多元社区的捍卫者。作为一名公开的LGBTQ+民选官员，她在圣地亚哥市议会的履职记录包括捍卫包容性图书馆资源的获取渠道，以及对抗审查和偏见，”该团体表示。

她还获得了平等政治行动委员会、LGBTQ+胜利基金和人权运动等LGBTQ相关网络的背书。

威尔珀特未立即回应福克斯新闻数字频道就其选择的场地以及她是否认为该场所的主题适合国会竞选活动置评的请求。

California Dem ripped for ‘perverted agenda’ ahead of fundraiser at risqué nightclub
August 13, 2026 9:00am EDT / Fox News
The Democratic candidate lists LGBTQ rights and passing the Equality Act among her top legislative priorities
By Leo Briceno, Fox News
U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico and Democratic local councilman Ben Flores ignite controversy at a Corpus Christi rally, criticizing Texas’s ‘narrow-minded’ political landscape. Flores’s provocative speech declares ‘we’re all trans’ and ‘we’re all gay tofu-eating vegans.’ This far-left rhetoric draws strong reactions, questioning political strategy in the state.

Marni von Wilpert, a Democratic candidate for Congress in California’s 48th Congressional District, is holding a fundraiser at a venue known for sexually suggestive branding and LGBTQ nightlife on Thursday evening.
The San Diego restaurant and nightclub, called the Gossip Grill, offers a series of adult-themed specials and events such as “Fi—r me Fridays,” “Girls, Gays and Theys Sundays” and “Cabaret Drag Brunch Pride Extravaganza.”
It also offers menu items like the “Foreplay” and the “happy ending.”

The upcoming event underscores Wilpert’s connection to the LGBTQ community and the attention she’s given the issue during her congressional campaign since she came out as bisexual a few years ago.
To one Republican observer, it’s a set of priorities that places an undue emphasis on sexuality.
“Out of touch Marni von Wilpert found the perfect headquarters for her radical campaign,” Christian Martinez, a spokesperson for the National Republican Congressional Committee, said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
“Her perverted agenda pushes hormone treatments on kids, shuts parents out and puts sexual content in front of young children. That dangerous agenda belongs in a nightclub, not Congress.”
Wilpert lists “LGBTQ+ Rights” among her top priorities on her campaign website — alongside other priorities like restructuring Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and penalties for companies with low wages.
On her website, she commits to making the topic a legislative focus at the federal level.
“In Congress, she will work to pass the Equality Act so the protections that Californians enjoy are guaranteed nationwide. She will face the attacks head-on, from bans on gender-affirming care to efforts to silence LGBTQ+ students in our schools,” the website reads.
In the past, Wilpert has helped spearhead efforts to keep Pride-related materials in San Diego public libraries.

After an activist removed almost every gender-orientation-related book from a library in Rancho Peñasquitos in 2023, threatening to keep them until the county took down a Pride display, Wilpert led the charge to replace the books. Wilpert, then a city council member, also pressed to expand Pride displays in 36 San Diego public libraries.
“I’m frankly shocked by this because eliminating LGBTQ content from libraries is what you might expect in Mississippi, but never here in San Diego,” she told The San Diego Tribune.
“Denying others the right to read LGBTQ-affirming books is just another way of telling LGBTQ people they don’t belong — and that’s dead wrong. Everyone has the right to read what they want, but absolutely no one has the right to keep others from reading books that reflect their experiences and backgrounds.”
Her work with the library has attracted support in her congressional bid from groups like Equality California, which cited it as a basis of their endorsement.
“Throughout her career, Marni has been a champion for the LGBTQ+ community and the diverse communities that make up CA-48. As an out LGBTQ+ elected leader, her record on the San Diego City Council includes defending access to inclusive library resources and standing up to censorship and bigotry,” the group said.

She has also attracted endorsements from Equality PAC, the LGBTQ+ Victory Fund and the Human Rights Campaign — all LGBTQ-aligned networks.

Wilpert did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital on her choice of venue or whether she thought the themes at the establishment were appropriate for a congressional campaign.
