At a recent event with billionaire Mark Cuban, Democrat Texas Senate candidate James Talarico laughably declared he was now a capitalist. Sure, Jimmy. Those who’ve been following Talarico have seen him reverse his past stances daily in an attempt to appeal to sane Texans. It's hard to square Talarico’s sudden, inexplicable capitalism epiphany with resurfaced video from 2020 showing him claiming it's oppressive while linking it to climate change and white supremacy.
Here’s the real James Talarico telling Austin Sierra Club activists that he wants to dismantle capitalism. (WATCH)
James Talarico says that capitalism is "white supremacy" and needs to be "dismantled."

Talarico is the most extreme candidate for office in the history of Texas.

NEW: In a 2020 Zoom forum with climate activists, James Talarico spoke of “dismantling” capitalism, grouping it with White supremacy and climate change.

In the same forum, he compared Texas’ oil industry to “cassette tapes,” saying it's "not gonna last.”https://t.co/z7SDj0pBAg
Talarico campaign tells CNN his “cringey,” past comments “missed the mark," and he's a capitalist who supports oil and gas.

Yes, he ‘believes’ this until he assumes office. Are people really this gullible?
Remember, ‘capitalist’ Talarico once said white Americans were infectious carriers of racism too. (WATCH)
Talarico once tweeted that white Americans spread a racism virus.

He tried to walk that one back, like he does with everything else.
Talarico's core campaign message is basically "don't believe anything I've ever said up until about five minutes ago."pic.twitter.com/U59sRd0pv4 https://t.co/W83fci1xMa

We’re supposed to believe that all of Talarico’s once-deeply held beliefs and convictions suddenly did a simultaneous reversal. Oh, and this about-face happens to coincide with his Senate candidacy.
Posters cannot believe the Democrat Party found someone worse than Beto O’Rourke to run in Texas.
He's even more of a freak than Beto O'Rourke was.

He actually makes Beto look electable. While Beto was a joke, this guy is dangerous.

He’s literal dollar store Beto. Worse policies, worse gaffs, less charisma

As if voters on the left even care.

Leftist voters may not care, but hopefully independents are seeing the scam Talarico is trying to pull on them.
