DescriptionPolitical operatives take note: if you’re going to call a member of your own party a “nut,” you might not want to say it to the daughter of his opponent.

At a rally for U.S. Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) in Houston on Saturday, Cornyn Campaign Manager Rob Jesmer probably did not notice the digital recorder when he struck up a conversation with Democratic rival Rick Noriega’s press secretary, Holly Shulman.

Jesmer: “Garrett’s a nut.”

Shulman: “What?”

Jesmer: “Scott Garrett’s a nut. That’s who your dad’s running against, right?”
