James Talarico is doing what many Democrats in red states have done for decades ... he's lying about how much GOP support he has. Oh, we get it, running as a Democrat in Texas is still not easy (thank God), but if he expects anyone to believe that he has a bunch of GOP support but they're only WHISPERING that support, he has another think coming.
Of course, this feels a lot like his invisible girlfriend who is also totally real and not at all from Canada or something.
Talarico: GOP voters ‘whisper’ support for him ‘like they’re in … witness protection’https://t.co/JmIXLmBe09

From The Hill:
Texas state Rep. James Talarico (D) said Tuesday that his campaign for Senate is attracting some support from previous President Trump voters who are becoming more disillusioned with the president’s policies, saying they whisper to him at rallies “like they’re in the witness protection program.”
Talarico argued during an interview on MS NOW that Trump has done “the exact opposite” of what he promised in 2024, pointing to the administration’s initial reluctance to release the Jeffrey Epstein files and the conflict in Iran, among other issues.
RIIIIIGHT.
Then again, he may be attracting members of the Woke Right who are technically really Democrat but we digress.
