He’s supposed to give Texas Republicans a run for their money in the U.S. Senate race. Ken Paxton is supposed to lose, if you believe the polling. So, where the hell is Democrat James Talarico? He’s been missing for almost two weeks. No, it’s not an Unsolved Mysteries episode, but politically, he’s been MIA from the campaign trail in a race where Democrats can’t have their people running silent and deep. Is it because we learned earlier this month that Talarico is a Marxist? Where is this guy (via PJ Media):
Talarico's last public sighting in Texas came on Saturday, Sept. 26, more than a week ago. He then left for a fundraising trip to New York City, where the VIP dinner ran $27,000 a plate. The guest list included a filmmaker who called America a “s***hole" and a group that advocates child sex change surgeries.
The absences piled up from there. Talarico skipped his in-person Sept. 30 speech to the U.S. Hispanic Business Council in the Rio Grande Valley and joined virtually from a hotel instead. The explanation attendees got was, "His staff says he's ill and was unable to travel." During that remote appearance, Talarico said he had to seek treatment at an urgent care clinic in Dallas, and social media users have disputed that timeline.
Then came the recycled footage. On Friday, Oct. 2, the campaign posted video from a Feb. 22 rally, held before Talarico had even won the Democrat nomination, and tried to pass it off as current.
Paxton’s campaign is now requesting proof of life in a tongue-in-cheek statement today, wondering the location of “Low-T Jimmy.”
The Paxton campaign is officially requesting proof of life, including: A video of James Talarico holding a newspaper dated today The flight he took home from his New York fundraisers, which occurred on the very same night he allegedly went to an urgent care in Dallas A doctor’s note from the Dallas urgent care he allegedly visited
“Low-T Jimmy appears to be having a full-blown mental Tala-freak-out on the national stage. We have a simple request: proof of life,” said Madison Cercy, campaign spokeswoman. “James Talarico wants to represent 31 million Texans in the U.S. Senate, but for 12 days, he’s hidden from every one of them. There’s a reason they call it ‘Texas Tough,’ and it’s not because Texans hide at the first sign of trouble. If James Talarico is too fragile to face Texans, he has no business asking for their vote.”
What a moniker, but yes, Talarico. Where are you?

He’s off waxing his privates or something.
I need to get that poster! That is....AWESOME!!
No matter which way the Paxton campaign tries to spin it, it looks like they are mocking Talarico. That’s not gonna go over well in certain parts of Texas where Paxton needs to do well - the Dallas suburbs, the Houston suburbs, etc.
They need to dial it back.
Check NY. He was raising money there recently while whining about outside money going to Paxton.
This isn’t ping pong.
I see him. He’s working at The Kissing Booth. The one that says “$1 Donation: Men Only”
So, where the hell is Democrat James Talarico?
He’s with Waldo!
LOL. You don’t have a clue about Texas.
ICE has an Ice Cream booth with an agent dressed as an ice cream cone. Very clever.
Talarico is dodging that debate with Paxton.
Dialing it back has gotten us to where we are today while the lunatic democrats/marxists/commies absolutely hammer this country.
You like that??? Want more???
That’s what “dialing it back” gets us so imma gonna say nope. Pedal to the metal, crush them completely and ignore people like you.
NO pictures, PLEASE!
Honestly, he doesn’t have a clue about Minneapolis either and apparently he lives there… That’s why it’s been overrun with Islamic terrorists. Steve doesn’t want to hurt anybody’s feelings you know 🙄
Doubt if he’s on his honeymoon.
He is MIA to get everyone talking about him? Other than going “Eeeuu”, that is.
Viva Frei
Rumors of a Mental Breakdown? James Talarico Goes AWOL on the Eve of the Midterms!

““Low-T Jimmy.”” Paxton is reported to have too much “T” as per his ex-wife. But hell hath no fury like...
He’s been running ads nonstop on streaming services trying to refute what’s being said about him by Paxton and the Pubbies. IMO, that’s not a winning strategy with just a few weeks before the election.
Last time I checked it was Paxton ducking a debate with Talarico on Fox...but ok.
I wonder if he took the cash and left the country
