Easing back in a chair in his Mission office, Flores didn’t deny he’s a browbeater, but he said he doesn’t use that tactic on people in the district. “There are some people I can bully, and I can beat the dog shit out of, and I can run off—like the lottery directors. I’ve gone through two lottery directors that I had squeezed their nuts and fired them, but not the guy on First and Matamoros.
“Cojones,” he said, is his political style in Austin. “I use them. I am not afraid to use them.”
Looking at a campaign photograph of Rodriguez and her family, Flores said, "She's got kids. She's got these kids that are at home, that have no blame whatsoever. They don't need to be worrying about what their mother is going to go through, or their father. You know, if she wants to go there, that's her bag."
One has cojones. The other one doesn't go figure!
