Republican Texas State Rep. Steve Toth called Democratic State Rep. James Talarico "evil" and said he was proof of "a demonic presence in the world" during a Wednesday interview.
Toth's remarks came after he defeated Republican Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw in his bid for a fifth term in the House in Tuesday's primary. Toth said on "The Charlie Kirk Show" that he had served with Talarico for years in the Texas state House and accused him of being part of a coalition of Democrats who blocked his legislation on election integrity and protecting children.
"When I put forth legislation to secure our elections, it gets killed by the Democrats. When I put forth legislation to end the social transition of children, it gets killed by the Democrats," Toth said. "It's evil. Talarico is part of that group. I served with James Talarico from 2019 through to today. This guy is as evil as they come."
"There is a darkness to this man's life … if you doubt that there is a wickedness and an evil and a demonic presence in the world, you only have to look at James Talarico," he added. "He's an awful, awful person. Awful person."
