MORE Aliases Discovered for Democrat Taral Patel as
Six More Warrants are Issued
__________________________________________________________________
SUGAR LAND, TX – The controversy over Fort Bend County Democrat Taral Patel continues to grow as more aliases have been discovered during a search of one of Patel’s laptops. Patel, a candidate for Precinct 3 County Commissioner, has already been arrested and charged with felony identity theft and sending fake, racist social media posts to himself under the name “Antonio Scalywag.”
In addition to evidence alleging Patel impersonated sitting Democrat Judge Surendran Pattel, new search warrants issued by the Fort Bend County District Attorney’s Office allege that Taral Patel used the alias “Paul Rosenstein” to send a series of damaging emails targeting Patel’s Republican opponent Commissioner Andy Meyers. Multiple emails suggested that donating to Meyers was futile. The messages included fabricated polls that falsely showed that Meyers had no chance of winning, including one titled “Polling Memo: Major changes coming to Fort Bend Precinct 3—Patel to win by landslide.”
Fort Bend County Republican Party Chairman Bobby Eberle stated, “We know Patel’s lies worked, because I have heard from Meyers supporters who bought his deceit entirely. No one should vote for a politician, such as Patel, who is willing to go to such lengths to deceive the public, interfere in elections, and destroy the reputation of his opponents.”
The latest search warrants reveal an array of email accounts allegedly used by Patel, including one under the alias “James Banks,” used to correspond with current Democrat County Judge K.P. George dating back to 2019.
“Considering that Patel ran the exact same playbook as Democrat County Judge K.P. George did with claims of racist social media posts, one can only wonder if Fort Bend County has not one, but two Jussie Smolletts,” Eberle added. “Fort Bend County deserves so much better than these Democrats.”
