Will James Talarico Drop His Pedophile-Protecting Political Ally?
Townhall.com ^ | June 13, 2026 | Joseph Chalfant

Ever since the news of Texas Democrat Bobby Pulido’s decision to assist his child molesting band member out of jail went viral on Monday, his frequent campaign partner James Talarico has been eerily silent.

At a campaign rally in December 2025, Pulido and Talarico appeared side-by-side and offered glowing endorsements of one another. Pulido has admitted to being a longtime fan of Talarico, saying that “he resonated with me a long time ago.” The endorsement from Talarico has meant so much to Pulido that leftist political accounts expressly refer to him as the “Talarico-endorsed candidate.” Talarico likewise fawned over receiving the music star’s endorsement in a post on social media.

Talarico is going to lose. Too extreme and cringe.

But Ken Paxton protected pedophile Adam Hoffman.

“ Ken Paxton protected pedophile Adam Hoffman.”
**********************************************

You just can’t help yourself. You have t continuously take shots at MAGA conservatives.

From your linked site:

“ After the jury deadlocked 7 to 5 in favor of conviction, prosecutors reached the controversial plea agreement, though their explanation for the deal differed sharply from the account provided by the victim’s mother.

According to the prosecutors, they were “prepared to re-try the case,” but ultimately offered the plea deal because the child was unwilling to endure the trauma of testifying a second time.”

CONTEXT MATTERS!

Feel free to continue your sabotage efforts.

Spare me. Talk to Angela Paxton.

Or one of his mistresses.

He’s not running for pastor though and Texans know that. So he’s fine.

Real rich though for an adulterer in real time to be the face of getting the 10 Commandments in every classroom.

No, YOU spare US - under the current statutory rules of evidence in the state of Texas it was the best they could do under the circumstances. Anything else would have guaranteed a reversal on appeal and that ahole would have totally skated. That sort of loophole is in the works to get dealt with in the next legislative session, per conversation with my state House rep.

The bar is already set in Hell by the Left and the next level up by the Cornyn type stooges. But by making the Ken Paxtons of the world the face of your morality - you are setting the tone for the next generation of conservatives and what you’re willing to put up with.

I said Ken Paxton isn’t running for pastor, but his behavior is in keeping with what many will put up with in their churches and in their church leadership.
