James Talarico Is Going to Pretend to Be a Moderate to Try and Defeat Ken Paxton
Amy Curtis
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton absolutely trounced Senator John Cornyn in last night's Texas runoff election. Paxton won with just over 63 percent of the vote, and he will go on to face Democrat James Talarico in the general election this fall.
Talarico is a radical Leftist and pastor who uses his twisted version of Christianity as the basis of his politics. He believes God is non-binary and that displaying the Ten Commandments in public is an act of violence. He also believes the Bible condones abortion.
But — like all Leftists — Talarico is going to try to run as a moderate during the campaign, and he's already begun trying to distance himself from the radical, progressive things he's said.
"They're going to throw everything they've got at us," Talarico said. "They're going to dig up all kinds of, you know, old statements, take them out of context and try to paint them in the worst possible light because this is the only playbook they have in 2026."
The Left loves to do this. They say and do insane things, and when Republicans point it out, they play the 'Republicans pounce!' card.
