Yesterday Texas Senate candidate James Talarico was interviewed on Fox News and basically did a one-eighty on all the lunacy he's on record of supporting because the election is just weeks away and his campaign is desperate to fool as many voters as possible.
The interviewer read many of Talarico's previous remarks back to him, and of course the Democrats considered that an "attack":

If anything the interview wasn't a difficult one for Talarico because, though the reporter did ask about his previous radical remarks, the follow-ups and challenges were light.
This was one example of that after Talarico was asked if he opposed biological males playing in girls' sports.

"Talarico said he would oppose trans athletes competing in girls' sports if it poses a risk to safety and fairness — a notable shift for a candidate who once claimed there were 'six' biological sexes and said "God is nonbinary."
There have been many "notable shifts" in what Talarico is saying now vs. just a couple of years ago.

Talarico very vociferously opposed and voted against both SB 14 and SB 15 which banned surgical mutilation of minors and banned men on women's sports teams, respectively. He said at the time of his opposition: "Some things are more important than… https://t.co/S5LnGPLDlD

Did Team Talarico forget the internet exists?
That’s the exact opposite of what he’s said previously. It’s obvious that he’s lying because he knows his radical agenda won’t get him elected.

It is hilarious watching people like James Talarico desperately try to walk back all the things they actually believe and said they believed now that they realize they’re on the wrong side of 90-10 issues https://t.co/f8OBB73YJa

If Talarico were to win he'd return to being the person he's trying to pretend not to be the day after the election. That's why he must be defeated.

Editor’s Note: The 2026 Midterms will determine the fate of President Trump’s America First agenda. Republicans must maintain control of both chambers of Congress. That of course includes keeping James Talarico out of the Senate.
