During last night's town hall on CNN, Texas Senate candidate James Talarico spent a great deal of time pretending to not be the nutcase version of himself that we're all familiar with which his campaign has been trying to keep covered up.
One such moment came when Talarico said the Bible is silent on the subject of abortion, at which point a Texas Christian obliterated that claim.
Another example of Talarico's phoniness came when the subject of voter ID arose:
Talarico, knowing that the SAVE America Act is extremely popular in Texas and that he'd have to vote on it if he were to become a senator, plays dumb, acting as if he doesn't know what it does. "From what I understand, the bill is about our elections, right?" https://t.co/GnXU9H4c4L

Don't fall for this fake, Texas!
Add up all the lies and obfuscations though, and MS NOW's Joe Scarborough was impressed:
Joe Scarborough can barely contain himself as he gushes over James Talarico. "This guy is so good!" "Struck all the right notes!" "He was real!" "Paxton's sacred!" There's fangirling and then there's whatever Joe is doing here. https://t.co/tSUlHotOB4

There are a lot of words to describe Talarico, and "real" is NOT one of them.
@WesternLensman The fact that this clown is on the air after his “this is the Biden best ever” lecture is beyond insane.

@WesternLensman Reminds me of when Scarborough said Joe Biden was, "better than he's ever been intellectually" in March of 2024. 😂

Remember this?
Not long after that the Democrats shoved Biden out the door.
If history repeats itself, Talarico's campaign is toast.
