James Talarico, the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Texas, once described parents who refused to acknowledge their children’s gender identity as potentially engaging in "abusive" behavior.

"I think there are some folks that would think that if you deny your child's gender identity, that's incredibly harmful. And whether or not we label it with the term abuse, it's abusive for sure," Talarico said while speaking at a committee hearing in the Texas Legislature in 2019.

Talarico’s resurfaced comments add to a growing pile of past remarks that cut against his efforts to paint himself as a moderate on issues like gender, policing and border security as he attempts to win over Texas, a historically Republican-leaning state.

From this article: When asked about the bill and his statements in committee, the Talarico campaign said he supported and respected parental decisions about their children.

My comment: "supports and respects" parental decisions that conform to his far left ideology.

This guy is as, or more, dangerous than Al-Sayed. They are both awful.

Those quotes were recorded in 2019, but Traitorico is like that character in Ghostbusters who said, “If there’s a steady paycheck in it, I’ll believe anything you say!”

Steve Toth (Texas Republican and former pastor)
said Democrat James Talarico is evil

Steve said that he fought against Talarico
in the Texas Legislature (maybe Republicans
fighting against Talarico)

Steve said this and it was on Fox News
about 6-7 months ago

Right now I am unable to find the video

In 2018 during his first run for office in TX, he was given a $59,000 donation by Trump mega donor, Miriam Adelson.

I am on assignment near Lubbock, TX, and I can say that the weekend football games had plenty of anti-Talarico ads and a few Pro-Paxton ads (Paxton putting child traffickers behind bars).

Well, if Texas does the unthinkable, and elects a radical leftie like him,

they can also start selling t-shirts saying “KEEP TEXAS WEIRD” along with their “KEEP AUSTIN WEIRD” ones!

[SaveFerris]

Talarico has certainly proven just how bizarre he is the past 7-8 years

I don’t know how anybody could support him NOW with all that has come out

[SaveFerris]

Good

There is no way whatsoever this weirdo wins a legitimate state-wide election in Texas. Only 175% turnout in Austin can do it.

In other words, the WORST of the Gay Mafia.

.....and despite all of us who knew Obama was a total fraud, he was elected President anyway...it is disturbing that Telefreako, another total fraud, is within striking distance of that Senate race.....

[volare737]

Exactly, nothing surprises me anymore—after someone with a middle name of Hussein could get elected President not that long after 9-11…..

and I sure don’t rule anything out now after Mamdani, a SHIITE muslim,,,,, could get elected mayor, only one generation after 9-11, in the same city that experienced that tragedy!

Yeppers

[SaveFerris]

Exactly

I told everyone I knew

Virtually no one listened

It was like the Antichrist had arrived

HOWEVER Talarico had 19 people
show up at a recent rally

The look on Talarico’s face...😂

Where’s that picture?
