Colin Allred accuses Genevieve Collins of darkening his skin in her campaign mailers
Democratic U.S. Rep. Colin Allred on Sunday accused Republican rival Genevieve Collins of darkening his skin in her campaign mailers.
“You’ve been fearmongering throughout this campaign about not only me, but also what’s going to happen if I get reelected, that I’m going to try and defund the police,” Allred told Collins during a virtual debate sponsored by the American Jewish Committee-Dallas. The debate began at 6 p.m.
“You’ve darkened my skin in mailers. That’s not who we are here in North Texas, and so I think you should be responsible for what you’ve done in your advertisements as well … I don’t think that’s what reflects the attitude that I’m hearing here tonight.”
Collins did not respond to the charge during the debate, but Collins' campaign manager, Rob Costello, vehemently denied darkening Allred’s skin in the mailers.
