James Talarico is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and I can give you a detailed story as to why…
During the 88th Texas Legislature, we fought for HB 900. HB 900 was the bill that worked to remove s*xually explicit materials from Texas public schools.
Talarico vehemently fought against HB 900 with the argument that explicit photographic material was covered by the Constitution. Keep in mind, he was defending making sure it stayed in CHILDREN’S school libraries in the name of the First Amendment.
Many people say this is a “myth” and that there was no p*rn in the libraries. Facebook AND X have both removed my posts that showed examples of some of the images in these books for explicit content and nudity. Even when I blurred them, I could not show the images. Some of the images showed men with men, women with women, and a man with a boy. (No, I’m not joking.)
Here are a few excerpts in image form. In 2021, 2022, and 2023, I was finding these books all over Texas in high school and middle school public libraries. Talarico found the following subjects to be suitable for 11- and 12-year-olds: foul language, rpe, incest, and detailed descriptions of sx. One book was a “how-to” guide on how to have gay s*x and how to search for gay partners on online hookup apps.
This is what a man who calls himself a “pastor” and a “Christian” was defending giving to children.
You just need to ask yourself why.
The only four talking points of the left in Texas right now:
1) You all must be very scared of Talarico! You're talking/acting like you're scared! Ooooh! SO SCARED!!!
2) You're not a true Christian if you can vote for an adulterer. King David? Who was that...? I don't know your Bible...
3) PeDo PrOtEcToRs!!!!1!1!!!
4) The Bible says all the things Talarico has said, even the things it hasn't, and from a certain point of view, he's objectively right, and everyone's always said God is non-binary in every church ever since the beginning of time, what are you talking about? And why do you care about God having a penis and trans kids so much? It's weird. He's also the perfect candidate for Texas because he alienates Evangelicals by weaponizing their religion against them! Atheists love him for the way he bashes Christians. There's no way he could lose Texas, everyone knows Latinos will all vote for a leftist who is pro-abortion, gender transition, and anti-masculinity. (Not in these words, but this is the overall message)
It's pretty ridiculous at this point.
Just In! 🙏🏼Texas Pastor Josh Howerton rips the mask off Texas Democrat James Talarico, calling him out for exactly what he is: a false prophet leading people into hell — even though he’s in politics.
1. He misquotes Thomas (a disciple of Jesus) to make his words align with the LGBT agenda.
2. Claims “trans communities need abortions too” — whatever that means.
3. Believes there are 6 genders.
4. Openly stated in the Texas House that he believes God is non-binary.
If this doesn’t hit a nerve I don’t know what will.
James Talarico is someone that Republicans in Texas will go out of their way to vote against. He’s that repellant to conservative voters in Texas. Yes, I’m not from Texas but I’m echoing what I hear Texans say. I am a conservative Christian and his fake pastor act is not just off-putting; it’s insulting in ways that Biden’s and Pelosi’s never was.
He is nothing like Beto or Allred. Beto was charismatic, inspirational, humble. And Beto was trying to sneak up on Cruz. Allred similarly ran a low-profile campaign and depended on quietly winning crossover votes against Cruz.
Both Allred and Beto lost despite running what I would characterize as smart campaigns.
A Democrat was going to lose in now Trump +14 Texas even if they focused solely on Trump. But Talarico has made the election a referendum on him.
