Former Congresswoman Mayra Flores Embroiled in 'Grubgate' Scandal

Accused of stealing food photos from the internet, Flores faces backlash as she campaigns to reclaim her former congressional seat.

Mayra Flores, a former GOP congresswoman from Texas, is accused of stealing food photos from the internet and presenting them as her own on social media.
Flores, who is running to reclaim her former congressional seat, has been caught in a scandal dubbed 'Grubgate'.
The controversy began when a user confronted Flores by sharing screenshots showing that her post about 'ranch life' in Texas used a photo seemingly lifted from a Guyanese Facebook page.
Since the scandal broke, multiple instances of Flores taking credit for other people's food photos have been discovered on her social media.
Flores has responded to the accusations stating that it was not her 'intention to mislead' and that the photos reminded her of her upbringing in Mexico.
