James Talarico Agrees the Karmelo Anthony Verdict Was a 'Tragedy'
townhall.com ^ | 8/3/2026 | Amy Curtis

Back at the start of June, Karmelo Anthony was found guilty of stabbing Austin Metcalf in the chest at a track meet. Both Anthony and Metcalf were 17 at the time. The Left was very angry about the case and the verdict; many of them believe Anthony acted in "self-defense," and that he shouldn't have faced charges at all, let alone prison time.

Now that case is coming up in the Texas U.S. Senate race, with Democrat James Talarico falling squarely on the side of the leftists who think Anthony did nothing wrong. Watch as Talarico nods sycophantically as a woman calls the Anthony conviction a "f***ing tragedy."

They simply cannot help themselves. They have to spout their “alt” version of the world or they will lose their “crazy” base. At that point they get no votes.

What is a tragedy is people like tallywacker are called men and even more that people vote for him. I give Texas about another decade of this constant immigration from west and east coast (and foreigners) and it will be lost. Sad, I hope I am gone before it happens.

The only thing that’s tragic is Anthony supporters lack of character, including this fruitcake wannabe Senator.

Lots of tragedies here ... starting with a thoroughly corrupt and depraved “black” culture that encourages folks to run around stirring up trouble.

The only thing NOT tragic is Karmello Anthony being held accountable for his crimes ... something he was apparently taught to believe wouldn’t happen.

Makes sense. Talarico beat a black woman for the nomination so he must believe that he has to go all out pandering to win black voters in November.

I think its way past time the God fearing folks of this country wake the heck up and realize people like this guy are demonic...and mean that literally.

How could someone say a guilty verdict in a cold blooded murder was tragic otherwise?

Anyone who has spent any time Reflecting on Ephesians 6:12 should understand it.

Problem is, a lot of people just refuse see evil even when it’s right in front of them.

Now’s the time for an intrepid reporter to ask what his response is to the family of Austin Metcalf.

He’s trying to appeal to the ‘Jasmine Crocket wing’ of the Dem party.

It is a tragedy! The kid should’ve gotten life, instead of the paltry 10 years or whatever he got.

As always the problem is the MSM buries every outrages stance and statement he makes to protect him like every rat. The clueless middle who decide elections never hears most of this stuff.

Democratic socialist are reaching all the way to the bottom of the outhouse for votes.

Because it's where all the " i hate trump" voters live.

These people would literally run into the path of a semi in the middle of I-95 on a Friday afternoon, just to get away from a trump bumper sticker.

and thats what the candidates are looking for. Deranged -TDS voters! People too consumed with hate that they dont see the devil they are electing.

its suicide by voting.

these kids were never forced to eat their vegetables.... and it shows.

The scary part is these people exist in large enough numbers to screw normal people's lives up. IE: NYC!!!!!
