Breaking: Talarico PAC Operative Admits to Paying for Votes in 'a Roundabout Way'
The Western Journal ^ | 09/16/2026 | Brooklynn Robinson

A Texas Democratic operative said the quiet part out loud — on video.

Sky McAdams, organizing manager for Texas Majority PAC, described a $25 stipend as a workaround the group is using to boost support for Democrats like U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico, among others.

“We are paying people $25 to attend a one-hour Zoom class to learn why voting is important and why the Republicans are causing all of these bad things,” McAdams said in undercover video obtained by Townhall.

“So it’s like a roundabout way of paying people for their votes, essentially.”

Townhall posted the clip Wednesday morning.

EXCLUSIVE: TALARICO SUPER PAC CAUGHT PAYING VOTERS!

“We are paying people $25...a roundabout way of paying people for their votes.”

Video obtained by Townhall catches Sky McAdams, organizing manager for Texas Majority PAC, on undercover video explaining the scheme to elect Talarico in November.

“You can’t pay someone to vote for someone”

“If I was a Republican, I would be pissed.”

In the video, McAdams says it’s called a “paid relational program,” which is operated by Relentless that uses software called Rally.

In a campaign finance report filed in July, Texas Majority PAC said it paid Relentless $500,000 for a “relational organizing program,” or about 20 percent of all its expenditures up to that point. At $25 per vote, that could be good for 20,000 ballots.

The scandal I am awaiting is a gay sex one involving Talarico.

Would settle for one of him with an underage girl.

Heard a religious leader today say Talarico is deliberately misrepresenting the Holy Scriptures he quotes for his own selfish plans. And is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Will the majority in Texas wake up to that truth in time for the election?

$25 to vote for a Democrat Child-Groomer like James Talarico?

That's all it takes to pay a 'Rat to vote for that evil?

Godless Reprobate Democrat
False Prophet James Talarico

Picture....

The reading public always responds favorably to books with solid personal experience backing them up. Talarico can fact check gay sex books for publishers.

If Talarico wins, that is the black swan event for this country.

Proper use of the subjunctive mood is too Eurocentric.

Shocking. Sounds like the activity of a guy who's way up in the polls, doesn't it?

Freako's going to lose by 10% minimum.

Just like attending college these days, pay and get paid in both direction. Demoncrats thrive in stupidvilles.

The fist time I saw that dead-eye’d monster I said he looked like he made lampshades from human skin. You want a scandal I say they should check his freezer for his mom’s body and his closet for her dresses.

Take their money and kick their butts anyway, by voting for the Republican ticket. Nobody is supposed to know how you marked your ballot in the privacy of the voting booth.

Yeah, right.

Wow. No wonder word is his female campaign staff members are too afraid to go into the motel room showers on trips as he travels to give speeches.

Just Wet Ones and a little once over will do.
