Texas Democratic Senate hopeful James Talarico once lavished praise on a self-described “TransQueer, Latinx” activist theologian as a major source of inspiration for his left-wing philosophy.
“When you started following me on Twitter, I couldn’t contain my inner fan boy, because I read your book last year and it continues to inspire me and y’all’s work continues to inspire me,” the state lawmaker told Roberto Henderson-Espinoza during a March 2021 podcast appearance.
“I told you I was a boring, straight, cis white man, and I added ‘Presbyterian’ to spice it up,” Talarico added. “My imagination is also just limited by my own background and identity.”
“My whiteness, my masculinity, all those things limit my imagination about what’s possible,” he went on. “And that’s where … your book helps me do that.”
Henderson-Espinoza, a PhD scholar, uses He/They pronouns and self-describes as Mestizaje (mixed race), autistic, non-binary, transgender, and Latinx.
*** GOP critics have pointed to Talarico’s past remarks, including from 2021, when he explained that “In my faith, God is non-binary,” argued that the Bible is fine with abortion, and suggested that there are six biological sexes. *** Recently, Talarico publicly vented that his GOP foe, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, “is clipping my past cringey comments” and clarified his belief that “you can’t use human categories to define God.”
*** “While Ken Paxton clips a few cringey comments to distract from the fact that he gave an Epstein-style sweetheart deal to an admitted child molester, James will continue demanding that Paxton release the Hoffman Files so Texans can get answers about the corrupt deal that let a pedophile back on our streets.” ***

Soy boy and then some. Good Lord. Poor Texas, if this guy has even a smidgen chance of getting elected, well....I’m at a loss for words.
p.s. I’m talking about talarico, not the mixed up Latina.
Who needs Ozempic when all you have to do is put that picture on your refrigerator?
It isn’t just Texas. There has been a trend in which the grossly ethically-challenged, and outright crackpots, wind up in public office. I know that politics has always attracted those who are not the best among us, but c’mon — this is getting ridiculous. The disturbing thing, and a deeper problem, is not that they can be elected, but that there are people who willingly vote for them.
What the hell is a latinx? Is that the same as a whitx or blackx? or asianx? Only different?
These two are both given over to an evil spirit.
The fact that they can somehow reasonably expect a large enough population to support them tells us just how far down into hell our nation has descended.
Yep, just like Thomas Aquinas
My whiteness. Oh Brother - the sooner this clown returns to public obscurity, the Better. BARF.
