The Democrat Party is full of bad actors. But now some of them are finally being exposed.
As this Leftist candidate is facing criminal charges for this heinous act.
A Texas Democrat, Taral Patel, has allegedly created multiple fake social media accounts to generate sympathy by posting racist comments about himself.
Patel, a 30-year-old former Biden White House appointee and a candidate for Fort Bend County Commissioner in Precinct 3, is now under investigation for impersonating others online, including a judge.
According to a July search warrant, Patel allegedly used the real name of District Court Judge Surendran Patel in one of his fake accounts, where he communicated with a fabricated persona named “Antonio Scallywag.”
The investigation also revealed that Patel might have created additional fake identities to further his scheme.
One of the new accounts, “Jane Donnie,” was linked to a profile picture of a Pennsylvania Realtor, who confirmed to ABC13 that he had no affiliation with the account.
Patel was arrested on June 12, facing charges of online impersonation and misrepresentation of identity. The charges came after a lengthy investigation by the Fort Bend County District Attorney’s Office, which began last October following a Facebook post from Patel.

Racism is so bad in America that you need to be racist to yourself 🤡
In September, Patel released a long Facebook post about how he was a victim of… pic.twitter.com/MbdcJbKHVl
In the post, he claimed that he and his family had been the targets of a racist smear campaign, allegedly perpetrated by supporters of his political opponent, incumbent Andy Meyers.
The post featured a collage of hateful messages Patel claimed to have received, calling him offensive names like “subhuman” and “monkey” while attacking his Hindu faith.
However, the case took a turn when Meyers recognized the peculiar name, Antonio Scalywag, as someone who had previously harassed him online. This led to a formal request for an investigation into Patel’s allegations.
Investigators discovered that Patel himself had set up the bogus account. As a result, he was charged with third-degree online impersonation, a felony, and a Class A misdemeanor for misrepresentation of identity. After his arrest, Patel was released on bond for both charges.
Patel’s political aspirations are supported by his extensive resume, as listed on his campaign website. His career includes roles such as chief of staff for Fort Bend County and work for the Department of Justice’s Criminal Division.
He also served as a legislative staffer for the Texas House of Representatives and was appointed by President Biden to work in the Office of White House Liaison, focusing on housing, urban development, and disaster recovery.
Despite the serious charges, Patel has not been indicted, and no new charges have emerged from the recent search warrants. The Fort Bend County District Attorney’s Office continues its investigation, while Patel has remained publicly silent about the accusations.
His only social media activity since the arrest has been unrelated posts, covering topics like mosquito control and highway construction alerts.

As the investigation unfolds, Patel’s political future remains grim, as he’s likely lost an enormous amount of trust from the public.
