据联邦选举记录显示，得克萨斯州一名民主党国会候选人的竞选团队今年早些时候在饼干、墨西哥餐厅消费以及啤酒和葡萄酒上的支出超过4300美元。在一场激烈辩论中她就“调侃纳粹”的言论道歉后，这笔开支再次引发关注。
根据RedState在8月的一份报告中引用的支出细节以及联邦选举委员会（FEC）的记录，得克萨斯州第23国会选区民主党提名候选人凯蒂·帕迪利亚·斯托特在3月和4月的五笔交易中申报了总计4338.14美元的开支。
申报的采购项目包括675美元用于竞选活动的饼干、1289.22美元在Total Wine酒类超市的消费，以及2373.92美元在拉斯·吉塔拉斯墨西哥餐厅的消费。

这笔开支也成为共和党人布兰登·埃雷拉的攻击点，他的竞选网站专门展示了这笔饼干采购费用，并指责斯托特使用捐赠资金购买零食。
根据支出细节，竞选团队申报了一笔3月30日的675美元付款，标注用途为“活动用饼干”。埃雷拉的网站将收款人认定为丹尼斯·甘博亚·泽勒，并将这笔开支归类为竞选活动支出。
其他交易包括4月21日在Total Wine酒类超市的1089.08美元消费，以及次日的200.14美元消费，两项均标注为“啤酒和葡萄酒”。
根据交易细节，竞选团队还分别在4月27日和4月28日向拉斯·吉塔拉斯墨西哥餐厅支付了2027.52美元和346.40美元。
斯托特在给福克斯新闻数字频道的一份声明中表示，这些支出“用于竞选和筹款活动，我们的支持者都有参与”。
“糖饼干，尤其是得克萨斯州形状的饼干，在得州文化中有着特殊地位，”她说，“我们从当地一家面包店购买，因为我们支持小企业。”

申报文件显示竞选团队确实申报了这些开支，但并未说明这些采购是否违规、是否有任何费用用于个人用途，也未提及相关活动有多少人参加。
这笔开支遭到了埃雷拉竞选团队的批评，他们运营着一个名为“真正的凯蒂·斯托特”的反对网站。
在名为“饼干门”的板块下，该网站重点展示了这笔675美元的开支，并展示了标注的用途“活动用饼干”。
该网站还批评了斯托特在移民、税收和其他问题上的立场。

就在这些开支问题引发关注之际，两名候选人正在竞争美国南部边境沿线全国最大选区之一的国会席位。周二在圣安东尼奥举行的电视辩论中，斯托特因涉及埃雷拉网络视频的不同寻常的言论而再次受到关注。
“他通过网络笑话赚了数百万美元，调侃纳粹，调侃所有这些我们知道他本不该做的事情，”斯托特在辩论中的激烈时刻说道。
埃雷拉回应道：“我还以为调侃纳粹是件好事呢。”
斯托特随后在闭幕发言后道歉并澄清了她的批评。
“我道歉，我确实口误了，”她说，“他选择在YouTube上正步走，以此作为噱头和赚钱手段，以推广那种意识形态。他还选择羞辱女性。”
这场辩论由WOAI/KABB电视台主办，其间国会候选人还就枪支权利、移民和生活成本展开了交锋。
斯托特告诉福克斯新闻数字频道：“调侃纳粹没问题，这不是我反对的点，也不是我的对手会做的事。”
“我反对的是那些贬低退伍军人自杀、强奸、儿童谋杀、女性身体和大屠杀的内容，也就是他炮制的那种内容，”她补充道，“您可以在HeReallySaidThat.com上直接听到他令人作呕的评论。”
“我认为他是否宣扬纳粹象征？是的。在2022年5月24日发布的一段视频中，他伴着《埃丽卡》的音乐正步走，并炫耀一把MP-40冲锋枪。在2020年6月23日发布的另一段视频中，他在开火纳粹制造的STG 44步枪前说‘为了祖国’，并称这‘就像一次宗教体验’。”
“称这只是个玩笑并不能改变其本质：为了点击率和金钱，为纳粹象征和武器提供平台。在我看来，‘我只是在开玩笑’的辩解是新纳粹和反犹太主义内容创作者常用的伎俩。他的内容遭到了两党的谴责，包括共和党犹太联盟，该联盟称我的对手是‘一个正步走的极端分子，与网络纳粹称兄道弟’。”

斯托特曾是一名教师和儿童福利律师，她将经济负担和腐败作为竞选的核心主题。
埃雷拉是一名枪支制造商和网络红人，采用“我们加油，布兰登”作为竞选口号，他的竞选纲领围绕边境执法、减税和第二修正案保护展开。
两人都在竞争接替前共和党众议员托尼·冈萨雷斯的席位，冈萨雷斯今年早些时候承认与一名工作人员有染后辞职。
得克萨斯州第23国会选区从圣安东尼奥地区延伸至埃尔帕索，包括数百英里的美墨边境。提前投票于10月19日开始，选举日定于11月3日。

A Texas Democratic congressional candidate’s campaign reported more than $4,300 in spending on cookies, Mexican restaurant purchases and beer and wine earlier this year, according to federal election records, drawing renewed attention after a heated debate in which she apologized for a remark about her Republican opponent “making fun of Nazis.”
Katy Padilla Stout, the Democrat nominee for Texas’ 23rd Congressional District, reported expenditures totaling $4,338.14 in five transactions in March and April, according to spending details cited in an August report by RedState and records attributed to the Federal Election Commission (FEC).
The reported purchases included $675 for cookies for a campaign event, $1,289.22 at Total Wine and $2,373.92 at Las Guitarras Cocina Mexicana.

The expenditures have also become a line of attack for Republican Brandon Herrera, whose campaign website showcases the cookie purchase and accuses Stout of using donor funds to pay for the treats.
According to the spending details, the campaign reported a $675 payment dated March 30 with the stated purpose “COOKIES FOR EVENT.” Herrera’s website identifies the payee as Denise Gamboa Zelle and categorizes the expense as a campaign event expenditure.
Additional transactions included $1,089.08 at Total Wine on April 21 and $200.14 the following day, both described as “BEER AND WINE.”
The campaign also reported payments of $2,027.52 and $346.40 to Las Guitarras Cocina Mexicana on April 27 and April 28, respectively, according to the transaction details.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, Stout said the disbursements “were for campaign and fundraising events which were attended by our supporters.”
“Sugar cookies, particularly Texas-shaped ones, hold a special place in Texan culture,” she said. “We bought ours at a local bakery because we believe in supporting small businesses.”
SENATE HOPEFUL’S ‘TREADING WATER’ NARRATIVE CRUMBLES UNDER $500K CAMPAIGN PAYOUTS TO FAMILY

The filings establish that the campaign reported the expenditures but do not establish whether the purchases were improper, whether any were for personal use or how many people attended the associated events.
The spending has attracted criticism from Herrera’s campaign, which maintains an opposition website, The Real Katy Stout.
Under a section labeled “Cookie gate,” the site highlights the $675 expenditure and displays the reported purpose, “COOKIES FOR EVENT.”
The website also criticizes Stout’s positions on immigration, taxes and other issues.

The spending questions come as the two candidates compete for a congressional seat representing one of the country’s largest districts along the southern border. During Tuesday’s televised debate in San Antonio, Stout also drew attention for an unusual exchange involving Herrera’s online videos.
“He made millions of dollars after making jokes online, making fun of Nazis, making fun of all of these things that we know he does not need to be doing,” Stout said in a heated moment during the debate.
Herrera responded, “And here I thought making fun of Nazis was a good thing.”
Stout later apologized and clarified her criticism after closing remarks.
“I apologize, I did misspeak,” she said. “He chooses to goose-step on YouTube for clickbait and money so that he can promote that type of ideology. He chooses to shame women.”
The exchange was part of a debate hosted by WOAI/KABB, during which the congressional candidates also sparred over gun rights, immigration and the cost of living.
Stout told Fox News Digital “mocking Nazis is fine, and that is not what I objected to, nor is that what my opponent does.”
“I object to content that trivializes veteran suicide, rape, child murder, women’s bodies and the Holocaust, the type of content he churns out,” she added. “You can hear his disgusting commentary straight from his own mouth at HeReallySaidThat.com.
“Do I think he promotes Nazi imagery? Yes. In a video posted 5/24/22, he goose-steps to ‘Erika,’ and touts an MP-40 machine gun. In another video posted 6/23/20, he said ‘for the fatherland’ before firing a Nazi-made STG 44, calling it ‘like a religious experience.’
“Calling it a joke doesn’t change what it is: giving a platform to Nazi symbols and weaponry for clicks and money. In my view, the ‘I’m only joking’ defense is a familiar tactic among neo-Nazi and antisemitic content creators. His content has attracted bipartisan condemnation, including the Republican Jewish Coalition, which called my opponent ‘a goose-stepping extremist who pals around with online Nazis.’”

Stout, a former teacher and child welfare attorney, has emphasized affordability and corruption as central themes of her campaign.
Herrera, a firearms manufacturer and online personality who has adopted “Let’s Go Brandon” as his campaign slogan, has campaigned on border law enforcement, tax reductions and Second Amendment protections.
The two are vying to replace former Republican Rep. Tony Gonzales, who resigned earlier this year after acknowledging an affair with a staffer.
Texas’ 23rd Congressional District stretches from the San Antonio area toward El Paso and includes hundreds of miles of the U.S.-Mexico border. Early voting begins Oct. 19, with Election Day scheduled for Nov. 3.
