  • Deceptively edited Talarico clip spreads after Texas Democratic primary win | Fact Check

    Elon Musk's pro-Donald Trump political action committee is claiming James Talarico, the projected Democratic nominee for Texas's open US Senate seat, called for turning the nation's southern border with Mexico into a "front porch" with "a giant welcome mat out front."

  • Trump Hilariously Mocks ‘Defective’ Dem Wacko Talarico

    President Donald Trump roasted the deranged Democrat candidate for Senate in Texas, and it’s as entertaining as James Talarico’s bizarre balderdash. Trump endorsed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the Republican primary for Senate, and he is confident Paxton will defeat RINO incumbent John Cornyn in the fast-approaching primary. Trump is also quite certain that Paxton will defeat his Democrat opponent, Talarico, a radical whose views on abortion, transgenderism, and religion have made him a laughingstock not only in Texas but around the country.
