Nick Sortor @nicksortor 🚨 BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Ohio mental hospital CONFIRMS James Talarico was discharged from the facility earlier this week
The “flu” thing was a BIG FAT LIE
Following reporting by @SaraGonzalesTX and @CarolineWren , a hospital employee told @RheinAmacher and I that Talarico had in fact been a patient at the Lindner Center of Hope near Cincinnati, Ohio, which specializes in around-the-clock mental health treatment.
While I sympathize with those dealing with mental health crises, this man is CLEARLY not suited to become a US Senator representing over 30 MILLION TEXANS.
The job doesn’t get easier after being elected — it only gets MORE stressful.
And Talarico clearly can’t handle it.
I pray he gets the help he needs, but Texans need a real representative they can rely on.

This is a fragment from the transcript of the Michael Berry show from October 7.:
James Talarico is melting down before our very eyes. He lied and told a group in Texas that last night he was in the urgent care when, in fact, he was in New York at a fundraiser. They've canceled their events. He's not showing in public in Texas, that there are some very intense things... and that's all I'm allowed to say for today. But it's going to get very, very interesting in the coming days.
They sent a Trojan horse in, and some of the pieces started peeking out. And Texans are realizing, hey, I don't have to... It's not your Valentine, right? We're not trying to fall in love with our candidate.
It's a strategic decision about our future and who's going to cast votes. That's all a senator does. Never forget this. Who's going to cast votes? You're going to see across the country that senators are going to say, "I have a plan to balance a budget and shut down the datacenters and bring American manufacturing back."
Okay.
Well, you're going to be a backbench senator on the committee to rename post offices for a very long time. By the time you are a subcommittee vice chairman of whatever... every issue that matters will have moved on. So your five-point plan to fix this and that... but the problem is the voter doesn't know this. The voter has no idea.

Recording of an employee of the institution saying Talarico checked out.
The fact that there is already probably an over-representation of mentally unbalanced individuals in the Senate is no recommendation that additional such persons should be sent in to augment their numbers.
If James Talarico is already of such delicate balance of emotional and cognitive capacity, the Senate is WAY too stressful of an environment into which to insert him. Give the kid a break and vote for Ken Paxton.
This story is from Nick Sorter who has the recording of talking with an employee at the institution, who says he checked out.
No, no. The premise of the article is wrong: For a democrat, being in the Senate AFTER election is stone-cold-dead easy.
After an election, all a democrat Senator has to do is:
Rule 1. Follow the democrat party-liner commands.
Rule 2. If anything changes, see Rule 1.
Rule 3. If anything happens, see Rule 1.
Rule 4. Win the next election. Then follow Rule 1 until dead.
Did he name names?
Anonymous source = lie
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sometime yes, sometimes no. It’s merely an allegation but I’m not ruling it out. It’s early still. We may never know. It’s not necessarily a lie. It’s an unknown.
If you are asking if he named the specific employee who answered the phone, I have not read that on his X feed.
This story is from Nick Sorter who has the recording of talking with an employee at the institution, who says he checked out.
It is possible to come in and leave incognito, but I doubt it is common.
It is not as if personal medical records of the individual were released. Rather it is simply if he was there.
So it’s an anonymous source as far as you know.
I’m waiting for proof of life or function. Until he does a press conference, bets are off
Democrats voted for Biden and he’d had half his brain removed.
Mental health issues are a requirement to be a Democrat.
That they don't do this means that Talarico has a record at Lindler.
Talarico is done. He is not fit for the Senate.
Coons and Van Hollen are also disgusting.
“”If this was not true, Talarico’s campaign would immediately authorize the release of the records to clear him. The dispute would be over.
That they don’t do this means that Talarico has a record at Lindler.””
***
Talarico was never ‘fit for the Senate’. But when has that reality ever stopped any Democrat from being supported by other Democrats. It has become a badge of honor and job requirement for them now.
I’m just laughing at all the lying polls that will still show Talarico ahead of Paxton.
Democrat Nominee for U.S. Senate in Texas James Talarico: “There's only one person who can determine a child's gender identity and that's the child.”
But first....soak some Democrats out of a few more ten million dollars...!!!!....the more they add, the more I smell burned money!
LOL !
Talarico’s campaign stated that he was absent from
the campaign trail for weeks due to the “flu.”
Critics, political commentators, and social media figures (including reports shared by Nick Sortor and Caroline Wren) alleged that Talarico was actually at the Lindner Center of HOPE—a mental health and addiction treatment center near Cincinnati.
Private flight data and unconfirmed claims from unnamed facility staff seems to verify the story.
Townhall.com repotted on Facebook that a staffer at the Lindner Treatment Center
told reporters that Texas Senate candidate James Talarico had been a patient at the facility...
