James Talarico Fails to Walk Back His Far-Left Record

Rapid Response

Yesterday, James Talarico desperately tried – and failed – to walk back his radical record and distance himself from Democrats’ far-Left agenda that voters in Texas overwhelmingly opposed in 2024.




Instead, Talarico has proven that he is a complete and total fraud:

LIE: James Talarico claimed that he opposes sex changes for children.

  • FACT: Talarico voted in favor of child gender mutilations.
  • FACT: Said he “loves” “trans kids” as much as his family.
  • FACT: Said denying the gender mutilation of children is "abuse."
  • FACT: Said "Trans children are God’s children, made in God's own image.”

LIE: James Talarico said “We have to protect good paying oil and gas jobs.”

  • FACT: Talarico introduced a bill in the Texas Legislature to try and eliminate the oil and gas industry in Texas.
  • FACT: Said “You can't call yourself a Christian and destroy God's creation with greenhouse gases.”

LIE: James Talarico claimed he is a "border security Democrat."

  • FACT: Talarico called to defund immigration enforcement officers.
  • FACT: Supports groups who have called to abolish ICE and CBP.
  • FACT: Smeared ICE as “a secret police force.”
  • FACT: Complained that Obama's failed border policy was too extreme.
  • FACT: Said “Our southern border should be like our front porch…”

LIE: James Talarico said he's "a believer in the Second Amendment."

  • FACT: Talarico said having guns "encourages violence against black sons and black daughters."
  • FACT: Led legislation restricting handgun sales.
  • FACT: Tried to prevent Texas from being a constitutional carry state.

James Talarico’s failed attempt to lie about his woke agenda only proves to Texans what they already knew: Talarico is a fraud who is dangerously out of touch with Texans and has no business representing them in the Senate.
