Talarico Torched After Pastor's 'Disgusting' Trump Shooting Remark as Cornyn Says 'Texans Should Be Outraged'
Fox News ^ | April 27, 2026 | Elaine Mallon

Rev. Jim Rigby also called the confederacy the 'heart of the MAGA movement' and labeled it a 'fascistic movement'

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, called on Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico to "condemn" his pastor's Sunday sermon, claiming that Talarico's pastor "made light" of the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner this past Saturday.

Talarico, a Presbyterian seminarian, has centered his campaign and progressive policies — which include anti-ICE and open borders messaging — on his faith background. At the same time, he has railed against Christian nationalism and called for the separation of church and state.

"James Talarico claims to be campaigning on love and kindness, but his Pastor made light of an assassination attempt on the President of the United States in Washington, DC this weekend where a Secret Service officer was seriously injured," Cornyn posted on X. "All Texans should be outraged and Talarico must condemn it."

Most ardent Socialists have a Pastor just like that who says the same things.

It’s part of their Socialist Starter Kit*.

*See 0bama. Blech!

... called the confederacy the 'heart of the MAGA movement'...

I don't call it the 'Civil War'. I call it the First Democrat-Republican War. RATs ain't good at running any kind of government but they are very good at changing the narrative. Democrats have been a curse on the Republic since Andrew Jackson formed the party in 1812.

Hilarious... Its election time again, so Cornhole is pretending to be a conservative; what’s more disturbing is his inability to understand that he will not be the Republican Senate candidate this election cycle.

The Rats, to continue enriching themselves by the institution of slavery that they loved so much, started the Civil War to preserve it.

They continued in the same vein even into the 1950s when Eisenhower had to send federal troops with an executive order to desegregate a high school in Arkansas. The newspaper in the town covered it. It was The Arkansas Democrat.

Rats have continued on this abusive path toward POC to this day.

The GOP was founded with the purpose of abolishing slavery. It has always been anti-slavery and pro-equality for POC. The Northern States had no choice but to engage in the Civil War to restore the Union after the Rebellion.

The entire anti-slavery apparatus and philosophy came solely from the North and the historical record of this is vast and indelible.

The reverend is lying.

And yes, the Rat party started by Andrew Jackson is the same rotten, soulless, slave-driving, satanic, party. They just have been scrubbed of any religious pretense and have, more recently, allied themselves with international Communism.

I remember Jim Rigby from my days of protesting abortion. Rigby would be on all the local newscasts with his collar proclaiming God approves of abortion. He’d et more screen time than the Right-to-Lifers.

John Cornyn may not be my first choice for Senator, but he’s miles ahead of Talarico
