Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrat-ruben-gallego-announces-campaign-for-kyrsten-sinemas-senate-seat" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ruben Gallego</a> (D-AZ) took some backlash on Wednesday after he attempted to define the &#8220;cultural identity&#8221; of Republicans during a campaign event at a church in Gilbert, Arizona.
Gallego, who has announced a run for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ), claimed that Republican &#8220;culture&#8221; could ultimately be boiled down to firearms and &#8220;jacked up&#8221; trucks &#8220;with some cow nuts hanging in the back.&#8221;

AZ Senate candidate Rep. Ruben Gallego: &quot;If you are a Republican, you have to have a bunch of guns, a jacked up truck with some cow nuts hanging in the back. That&#39;s your cultural identity now.&quot; <a href="https://t.co/spNYL383Qv">pic.twitter.com/spNYL383Qv</a>

According to a <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/az-senate-candidate-claims-weapons-little-cow-nuts-trucks-define-gop-culture" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from Fox News Digital, Gallego was initially responding to a question from the audience about school shootings.
&#8220;School shooting-level casualties happen every day in the streets of America,&#8221; Gallego claimed, adding, &#8220;We don&#8217;t focus on trying to stop everyday gun violence because a lot of politicians are afraid of the NRA and the gun lobby.&#8221;

&#8220;And also, even beyond the gun lobby, there is now weapons — and I don&#8217;t really call them guns. As a Marine, I call them weapons,&#8221; Gallego continued. &#8220;Weapons have now become more of a cultural thing. It&#8217;s like, if you&#8217;re a Republican, you have to have a bunch of guns, some, you know, jacked-up truck with some of those little cow nuts hanging in the back. That&#8217;s your cultural identity now.&#8221;
Critics quickly pointed out a few things wrong with Gallego&#8217;s blanket assessment — namely that cows, being female, did not *have* nuts.
Arizona State Rep. Austin Smith, a Republican, responded, &#8220;Cows don’t have nuts… but I guess this is his worldview outside Phoenix, very narrow minded and ignorant. DC will do that to ya!&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Guns ✅ Jacked up truck ✅ Cow nuts on my truck ⭕️

&#8220;If you’re gonna try to trash talk half the people of your state at least get the anatomy about nuts right,&#8221; GOP strategist Andrew Clark added.

&#8220;And if you’re a democrat you have to have a sex change, mental illness, and drive a Prius with your own nuts hanging in the back. That’s your cultural identity now,&#8221; OutKick host Tomi Lahren <a href="https://twitter.com/TomiLahren/status/1691983626873774483" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shot back</a>.
Former Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake, also a Republican, added, &#8220;Look at how @RubenGallego mocks hard-working Arizonans. He thinks we&#8217;re dumb hicks for owning trucks. He wants to take away our 2nd Amendment rights. He&#8217;s weirdly obsessed with testicles. Just call us deplorables &amp; get it over with, Ruben. And stay in the swamp. It suits you.&#8221;

Gallego could be headed for a tough race in 2024, however, since incumbent Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kyrsten-sinema-gearing-up-for-re-election-bid-as-an-independent-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sinema</a> is likely to remain on the general election ballot as an independent. If Gallego and Sinema split the Democratic vote, they could leave a wide opening for any solid Republican candidate.
