Heated Battle for U.S. Senate in Texas Begins
The candidates for U.S. Senate in Texas, the Democrat James Talarico and the Republican Ken Paxton, traded barbs this week in what is expected to be a bitter general election campaign.
“My opponent is the most extreme radical the Democrats have ever nominated. James Talarico is going to be nothing more than a Texas-based puppet for Chuck Schumer and the national Democrats.” “Ken Paxton is morally unfit for office. He — he has failed the character test. He’ll lie to you with a straight face. He’s the most corrupt attorney general in our lifetimes, and he has put his own interests above the laws of Texas.” “He’s even running a vegan campaign, whatever that is. [laughs] He goes by a few names that you may all have heard of. Some people know him as Tofu Talarico. I’ve even heard some people call him James Talafreako.” [laughs] “They’re going to throw everything they’ve got at us. They’ve already called me a radical leftist. They’ve already called me a fake Christian. They’ve even called me a vegan, and those are — [cheers] those are fighting words in the state of Texas. You know, I’m an eighth-generation Texan. I’ve been eating barbecue since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment.”
