Texas Democrat James Talarico is sly and lies with ease. You may have noticed how the U.S. Senate hopeful is quick to ‘answer’ a question with a half-truth or even a lie, but ‘journalists’ quickly swallow his explanations and move on. We’ve seen this a lot as the James Talarico of today reverses (at least in words) the positions of the James Talarico of the recent past. He’s now even claiming he’ll do what’s right for Texas even if it goes against his Democrat Party. Sure, Jimmy.
Here’s more. (READ)
James Talarico is slippery as hell.
The problem is, even local media attempting to press him on his rhetorical and factual distortions either aren't equipped or refuse to ask the appropriate follow-ups.
Prime example:
Reporter asked Talarico why Texans should believe he will buck his own party when it comes to Texas' interests.
Talarico responds that he's "called out Biden on the border."
Reporter then asks when he's called out Biden policies -- *during* or after the admin ended?
Talarico responds that he called out Biden mid-presidency in a speech in 2022.
Notice the very precise language used here. He did NOT say he called out Biden on the border in 2022, just that he called out the admin's policies -- an artful dodge.
Ok, so let's take a look at what he said in his biggest speech of 2022 at the Texas State Democratic Convention.
He actually DID call out Biden.
But here's the rub: He called out Biden for NOT BEING AGGRESSIVELY HARD LEFT ENOUGH:
- Lease federal land to abortion providers
- Impeach SCOTUS Justices
- Prosecute Trump
- Call the filibuster a Jim Crow relic
No mention of the border crisis at all, of course. Which was raging at the time.
As an additional note, look at his tone and delivery in the speech to state Democrats vs the image he presents now in a general election.
Talarico somehow now wants Texans to believe he's some sort of centrist, independent maverick ready to fight his own party.
Total fraud. Slippery as hell. But a total fraud.
‘Moderate’ Talarico is a figment, not a fact. Sure, he called out former President Joe Biden... for not being far-left enough. Check this out. (WATCH)

He is a con artist...PERIOD.

There’s nothing authentic about him except his far-left radicalism, which he’s desperately trying to cover up.
Talarico is a gifted liar. A high level of research and commitment is required to unravel his deceptions.
The same guy who wants to put out a “Welcome Mat” on the Texas border.

He was trained
He's rhetorically gifted with deceptive responses.

But you can see why it flies most of the time. The lengths required to deconstruct the bullsht is evidenced from this post.
And as you can see from the performance of this post so far, it's hard to get eyeballs on it.
What’s even worse is that people have lost the ability to discern the difference.

This stuff is not the easiest to explain in a 30-second ad. Look what it took here to break down one micro example of his deceptive rhetoric.
Talarico knows that he can get away with answers like this for that reason, plus the media is either too ignorant, lazy, or partisan to care.

Fortunately, for Republicans, there’s a trove of crazy Talarico soundbites to mine, but his more involved lies will go unrevealed and unexploited in the lead-up to the midterm elections.
Here’s a rare example of a journalist catching Talarico in a half-truth. (WATCH)
James Talarico gets called out for voting against no income tax in Texas.
— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) September 6, 2026
CBS: “You voted against banning the state income tax...why did you do that?”
TALARICO: “Because it’s already banned.”
CBS: “Yeah but this would’ve banned it permanently.” pic.twitter.com/fYHLqJlOVY
They want your tax dollars to carry out their reckless spending. That's all these Communist do.

No Democrat is ever willingly going to abolish an avenue for future taxation.
Commenters say they’ve seen how Democrats immediately drop the ‘moderate’ facade as soon as they take office.
Sure, @jamestalarico is a moderate - just like @GovernorVA was a moderate and @JoeBiden was a moderate - until they got elected. And they both turned out to be left-wing puppets.

If elected, his primary objective will be to turn Texas blue, regardless of the means necessary to achieve this goal. Flipping Texas is the ultimate objective for the left, and they’ll resort to any means and say anything to accomplish it. It’s a war, nothing less.

And if Talarico wins in November, he’ll reveal his true self after he’s sworn into office in January. Count on it.
