VIDEO AT LINK.................
You couldn't pay me to post this video of myself.
In the Democrats' efforts to appeal to real manly men, U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico showed he's a good ol' boy from Texas by operating a blowtorch for a couple of seconds.
So. Much. "Masculinity." Republican opponent Ken Paxton has no response to this yet, because how do you even reply to that? π

Don't forget the "journalist" who shared this video:
Your average attempt by a Democrat to appear like a real man!

It looks like he is trying to sweat copper fittings. From what I see on the video I doubt he got the job done.

Hard to believe Talarico is even close to Paxton. Not sure if this says something about Texas, about Paxton, about the MSM, or some combination of them.

I know that public office doesn’t always attract the best of us, but we sure are seeing a lot of weirdos lately.
