Texas Senate candidate James Talarico likes to brag about his totally "grassroots" campaign backed by Texas voters.

BREAKING: Our grassroots campaign raised $30 million since April.

Talarico and his friends are doing even more lying because they're trying to claim his Kimmel interview was censored and as a result had to be posted on YouTube instead. Kimmel hopes his regular viewers are idiots who don't know how things work, and Talarico was of course happy to take advantage of that generosity.

During the interview, Talarico lied yet again when he claimed that all his donations come from "hard working Texans."

Kimmel of course could be counted on to not ask Talarico what else he was doing while in Los Angeles:
