Texas Senate candidate and newfound meat, truck, and Cracker Barrel aficionado James Talarico has been bragging about his grassroots campaign in The Lone Star State.
You see, Talarico is going to represent every day Texans and not out of state interests and the wealthy elite:
BREAKING: Our grassroots campaign raised $30 million since April.

Over 780,000 individuals have donated to this movement.

6 months ago we launched this grassroots campaign for the US Senate to bring working people together.

Because the biggest divide in our politics is not left vs right — it’s top vs bottom.

"Grassroots," eh?
This month, Talarico, joined by Georgia's Jon Ossoff, will head to California to extract some money from some of their "grassroots" supporters in Los Angeles:

Jon Ossoff and James Talarico are doing a finance event called "Two Visionaries, One Night" in Los Angeles on Thursday night.
Fundraiser is hosted by Shonda Rhimes + others.https://t.co/4SVTD2zqE2 pic.twitter.com/yXVntGMyte

For an extra laugh they referred to Talarico and Ossoff as "visionaries." Sure, because trying to take other people's money is such a visionary goal.

So much for that grassroots support of @jamestalarico in Texas, lol

All the "grassroots" support Talarico said he's been getting in Texas must not have been quite grassroots-y enough.
