James Talarico “may be the worst Texas candidate I have ever seen”, said the US president, claiming the Austin state representative and Democratic nominee for Texas senator was weak on crime and an advocate for open borders. [Trump and Paxton are both criminals who have done little about the border]
Reaching for a favored Republican attack line against Talarico, Trump claimed he was a vegan who “dislikes meat, not exactly a good way to be if you’re wanting to win an Election in Texas”.
The Democrat has denied being vegan. “I’ve been eating barbecue since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment,” he told a podcast earlier this week. [love that answer]
While Texas has not elected a Democrat to the Senate since 1988, Republican operatives have privately worried that Paxton’s long trail of legal troubles would make him a riskier standard-bearer than the incumbent.
Of the outgoing Cornyn, a veteran US senator who enjoyed the support of many of his Republican colleagues on Capitol Hill, Trump was more measured. “John will remain my friend for a long time to come,” he said.
Let's ask John in private, shall we? lol SAY ‘NO’ TO WAR! RESIST!
