Texas Democrat James Talarico’s ‘moderate’ act exposes his party’s new scam
New York Post ^ | 03/05/2026 | Karol Markowicz

Posted on 03/05/2026 4:39:49 PM PST by mouse1

Time magazine touted his “authenticity” and gushed, “It’s populism and piety, the proletariat and the Pharisees all rolled into a Texas-sized operation.” The Washington Post highlighted how Talarico was “leaning in to his Christian faith in political debate, an atypical approach for a Democrat.” The New Yorker’s soft-focus photo accompanied a fawning piece that described Talarico as looking “like he’d just finished his paper route and was eager to shovel the church’s walk.” It did the trick for the Lone Star State’s Democrats. But the moderate façade may already be crumbling. In 2020, Talarico was tweeting about the “virus” of “racism.” Who had it? White people, he said — all of them. “White skin gives me and every white American immunity from the virus,” he posted. “But we spread it wherever we go — through our words, our actions, and our systems. “We don’t have to be showing symptoms — like a white hood or a Confederate flag — to be contagious.” This is what passes for “normal” among Democrats? Ironically Talarico defeated Crockett, a black woman, for the nomination. Maybe he’s the one with that infection. In 2021 Talarico, a member of the state legislature, argued in favor of a bill that would allow biological boys to play in girls’ sports.

I’d like to see him specifically cite this ‘modern science’ he believes exists.

DNA is pretty probative.

He’s a 36-year old incel heretic who reinvents his “understanding” of theology with every shift of the counter-culture winds.

If Tallarico is so worried about his white privilege, he should give his nomination away to Crocket, the black victim of Tallarigo’s racism.

Just watched a clip of him quoting a gnostic text saying that women must become men to enter heaven and claiming it is gospel. The more I see of this guy the more I think he has a human skin lamp in his basement.

If it’s a scam he may still get away with it. It’s what they do.

I hope the Democrats waste millions on this charlatan Talarico.

He’s going down regardless of what the Democrat pundits proclaim about him. He’s a total clown. He won’t get within 10 points of whomever he faces—Paxton or Cornyn.

And yes, it would be nice if one of those two dropped out instead of wasting millions on a runoff. Paxton has serious character problems, Cornyn is unreliable as a conservative, but either one of them will be better for America than Clown-a-rico.

The left is just plain evil.

It’s been revealed the illegal immigrant Democrat Seth Moulton brought to President Trump’s SOTU speech and then hid in his office, Marcelo Gomes da Silva, is in two police reports involving sexual assault and minors.

If a Republican had done something like this it would be national news and he would (rightfully) be forced to resign. Zero negative coverage for Moulton other than in the talk radio and the like media spheres.

Andy Beshear would be more like what James Talarico is going to be playing off as.

We’ll see. Heretic. “Codes” gay. Plenty of lunatic dems in Texas, but I think a lot who are also fairly moderate. I don’t think he’s going to be able to pull of the Andy Beshear bait and switch

BREAKING
@RepTonyGonzales
is no longer seeking re-election—This comes after he admitted to having an affair in an interview with
@JoeTalkShow
.

Statement via Rep. Gonzales: “At 18, I swore an oath to defend our nation against all enemies, foreign and domestic. During my 20 years in the military and three terms in Congress, I have fought for that cause with absolute dedication to the country that I love. From overcoming the border crisis to taking a stand with my communities after the worst school shooting in Texas’ history, my philosophy has never changed: do as much as you can, and always fight for the greater good.

After deep reflection and with the support of my loving family, I have decided not to seek re-election while serving out the rest of this Congress with the same commitment I’ve always had to my district. Through the rest of my term, I will continue fighting for my constituents, for whom I am eternally grateful. God has a plan for all of us.”

Transarico is just another clown used to get the spotlight off of the RATs not having a “rising star” Senate loser.
