NEW: Talarico Called Capitalism “Oppressive” & Slandered Texas Oil and Gas

Rapid Response

In a newly unearthed clip, Texas Democrat James Talarico said his plan is to “dismantle” American capitalism, calling it an “oppressive system” and comparing it to “white supremacy.”

Talarico – who has called to eliminate the oil and gas industry in Texas – slandered the vital Texas industry, saying it “is not gonna last.”



These new revelations come as no surprise considering Talarico has a long history of being completely out of touch with Texas values:


  • Said border security "violates a lot of the values we have as Texans."
  • Introduced a bill in the Texas Legislature to try and eliminate the oil and gas industry in Texas.
  • Called defunding the police an "exciting" opportunity.
  • Wants to see "a world without prisons."
  • Said “You can't call yourself a Christian and destroy God's creation with greenhouse gases.”
  • Supports reparations.
  • Said he “loves” trans kids.
  • Voted to allow the Chinese government to buy up as much Texas farmland as they wanted.
  • Called protecting children from gender mutilation surgeries "Christofascism."
  • Said it's "spot on" to think Christians are "villains" and "mean people."
  • Said doctors have a "moral obligation" to provide hormonal therapies and perform gender mutilation surgeries on children.
  • Said denying the gender mutilation of children is "abuse."
  • Said "God is not a Christian."
  • Fought to let men compete in girls' sports in Texas schools.
  • Voted to allow "sexually oriented performances" in front of children because he didn't want to "target the drag queen industry."
  • Called men in girls’ sports a "far-right conspiracy theory."
  • Said there are 6 genders.
  • Justified the gender mutilation of children by claiming "God is non-binary.”
  • Led legislation restricting handgun sales.
  • Tried to prevent Texas from being a constitutional carry state.
  • Said struggling with his “whiteness” is a “never-ending process.”

Talarico is a woke lunatic who is trying to hide his insane, radical agenda from Texas voters because he knows he is too far-Left and too extreme to represent the values of hardworking Texans.
