Michelle Cedeño, the digital mobilization manager for the Texas Democrat's campaign, has shown her support for Palestine and disdain for Israel in social media comments.
She shared another X user's post on October 11, less than a week after Hamas carried out its assault on Israel, that stated, "You can’t celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day and say Palestinians don’t have a right to their homeland." She also retweeted a post that urged individuals not to "talk to cops" and a post from Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., that claimed Israel was led by "apartheid-in-chief [Benjamin] Netanyahu."
In February 2024, Cedeño amplified remarks made by one X user who accused Israel of committing "genocide."
Cedeño, who has been tasked with reaching millions of Texas voters and has sent multiple emails to the Allred campaign's email list, shared numerous posts on social media in recent years that are seemingly anti-police and anti-ICE. Additionally, Cedeño previously made disparaging remarks about President Biden and an individual who now serves in his cabinet.
In a January 2021 post to her Facebook page, Cedeño celebrated a news report that stated members of the Austin City Council could use some funds diverted from its police budget to purchase two hotels to use as "permanent supportive housing for people experiencing chronic homelessness."
"YES," she wrote, sharing the article with her friends.
Cedeño also shared a July 2019 then-Twitter post from United We Dream Texas that claimed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents "are cruel" and called for the agency to be abolished. She also shared a Sept. 2020 then-Twitter post that claimed ICE was performing "genocide" through acts that "inspired the Nazi regime."
Aside from her remarks about political issues, Cedeño has directly targeted Biden and Pete Buttigieg, who previously ran for president and now serves as the secretary of transportation, during the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries.
In an Oct. 2019 post, Cedeño claimed that Biden has "abusive habits" and an "over-botoxed five-head."
Regarding Buttigieg, Cedeño wrote, "F--- this dude" in a Nov. 2019 post to social media and later expressed frustration when Biden appointed him to a cabinet position.
"Bro can’t even take control of his police department as mayor when they murder a black man now you’re going to trust him with a WHOLE CABINET POSITION," she wrote in a Dec. 2020 post to Facebook.
