Texas Dem candidate to hold high-dollar Hollywood fundraiser while GOP gathers in Dallas: 'Fake cowboy'

Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico is set to travel to Los Angeles in September for a high-dollar fundraiser with Hollywood celebrities, according to a report.

Politico reported that "Lost" co-creator Damon Lindelof and his wife, Heidi, will host a fundraiser for Talarico in Brentwood on Sept. 10. Tickets for the event start at $500 and go as high as $13,500, according to the outlet. This will be Talarico’s second Hollywood fundraiser in a few months. The first was held in June and was described by Page Six Hollywood as a "glitzy Dem fundraiser" at the home of Hollywood producer Peter Chernin. Fox News Digital reached out to the Lindelofs and Chernin for comment.

Meanwhile, Talarico’s opponent, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, will gather in Dallas for the Republican National Committee’s midterm convention, along with President Donald Trump and other Republicans. The same night Republicans rally in Dallas, former President Barack Obama will headline a Democratic House fundraiser in New York, according to The New York Times. The events put prominent Democrats on the coasts while Republicans gather in Texas.

Fox News Digital previously reported that donors from outside Texas accounted for roughly 50% of the funds raised by Talarico, according to first-quarter campaign finance records.

Many native Texans are thinking about voting Talarico. It pains me greatly to watch that play out.

This should backfire on Talarico. In addition to all the anti-Texas positions he holds, his chummy association with Hollywood elites will further distance himself from the average Texas voter.

Not only should the state attorney general investigate every dollar the Talarico raises from outside of Texas, but Ken Paxton and the Department of Justice should mandate that the Talarico campaign not raise money outside of Texas.

“If you want to turn Texas into Commiefornia, vote Talarico.

“It pains me greatly to watch that play out.”

Cost of living has gone through the roof in Texas. Quality of life has gone way downhill in Texas. It is crowded, and expensive in Texas. Public schools are shit in Texas. The same party has been running the state for decades. Why would it be surprising for Texans to vote for someone else? Even if it is a shumck like Talarico.

Hollyweird is a natural for Talafreak-o. I expect this race to be fairly close, but if the Republicans can keep hammering Talafreak-o on how far out of the mainstream he is religiously and otherwise, I can’t help but believe that Paxton will pull this out. 🤞
