The messages, confirmed as authentic by Gallego, described the party as the &#8220;not fun party,&#8221; lamenting its shift away from its former image of freedom and rebellion towards what he saw as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/grave-of-robert-e-lees-horse-desecrated-plaque-to-beloved-traveller-removed\/\" title=\"Robert E. Lee...s horse...s grave vandalized, tribute plaque removed.\">excessive political correctness<\/a> and role reversals between men and women. Despite the leak, Gallego stood by his comments in a subsequent interview, emphasizing his belief that the Democratic Party should be more inclusive and open. He was more saddened by the betrayal from a longtime friend than by the content of the messages themselves. Additionally, Gallego responded too comments related to a video featuring democratic veterans encouraging military members to &#8220;disobey illegal orders,&#8221; stressing that service members&#8217; loyalty is to the Constitution. The article also notes that Gallego was not part of that video, unlike his colleague Senator mark Kelly.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Gallego reacts to &lsquo;heartbreaking&rsquo; leak of texts that Democrats are &lsquo;not the fun party&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2409263\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">Sen.&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/senate\/3897431\/ruben-gallego-pentagon-investigation-mark-kelly\/\">Ruben Gallego<\/a>&nbsp;(D-AZ) expressed disappointment in a friend of 20 years who &ldquo;<\/span>exploited&rdquo; him by leaking his texts critiquing his party.<\/p>\n<p>The texts were leaked to <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JackPosobiec\/status\/1993363895780782180?s=20\">Human Events<\/a> on Tuesday, and Gallego confirmed they were authentic.
