The Democrat Party has a self-sabotage problem, and at this point, it’s honestly impressive. Every cycle, they trot out candidates in deep-red states who sound like they wandered out of a Portland faculty lounge and accidentally filed paperwork in the wrong zip code. You’d think after years of brutal losses across the heartland, someone at DNC headquarters would pull up a map and notice that what plays in Brooklyn doesn’t exactly light up the scoreboard in Beaumont. But no. They keep doing it.
And now Texas — a state forged on faith, freedom, cattle ranches, and Friday night football — has become the latest laboratory for this experiment in political malpractice. Somebody looked at the Lone Star State electorate and decided what those voters really needed was a lecture about meat consumption and a seminar on how many genders exist. Spoiler: it’s not going well for them.
From the Daily Wire:
President Donald Trump ripped into “weird” Democrat U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico over his far-Left views, hammering him for his promotion of veganism and transgender ideology.
Trump made the comments when asked Friday if he would endorse Senator John Cornyn or Attorney General Ken Paxton before the Texas Senate GOP primary runoff election later this month. While he declined to say which way he was leaning, Trump said he thought either would easily defeat Talarico.
The president didn’t just weigh in on this one. He torched it. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump dismantled Talarico with the kind of effortless, off-the-cuff savagery that only he can pull off. Honestly, the man doesn’t even need a speechwriter for this stuff.
“I’ll tell you what I do think — I think the Democrats have a weird, a weird candidate. Six genders, a real hit on Jesus,” Trump told reporters. “I mean, this guy is bad news with his mask from relatively recently, and he’s a vegan. He’s a vegan. All of a sudden, he’s not a vegan.”
Then came the seven-word knockout: “Texas doesn’t like vegans.”
No focus groups. No polling data. No consultant fees. Just pure, distilled political instinct wrapped in a punchline. That single sentence probably did more damage to Talarico’s campaign than any opposition ad ever could.
The vegan who wasn’t
Here’s the thing — Trump wasn’t riffing on nothing. The receipts are real. A 2022 video surfaced showing a masked Talarico earnestly declaring that reducing meat consumption was “existential” and proudly announcing his campaign was “officially” a “non-meat campaign.” He went further, insisting his team was “only buying vegan products from our local vegan businesses.”
In Texas. Let that marinate.
Fast forward to a U.S. Senate run, and suddenly the tune changed. Talarico told interviewers he denied “all accusations of veganism” and insisted his “campaign runs on barbecue.” You almost have to admire the audacity. He went from scolding Texans about respecting animals “in all aspects of society” to pretending he’d been manning a smoker in his backyard the whole time. If he’ll reinvent himself over what he eats for dinner, voters have every right to wonder what else he’s willing to fabricate.
Six genders and a ‘hit on Jesus’
The veganism was just the appetizer — pun fully intended. During a Texas legislative committee hearing, Talarico declared with a straight face that “modern science obviously recognizes that there are many more than two biological sexes. In fact, there are six.” He’s also claimed that Christianity supports abortion and that God is “non-binary.”
I’m not paraphrasing. Those are his positions.
In a state where Sunday church attendance isn’t a cultural relic but a cornerstone of daily life, those aren’t just controversial opinions. They’re political suicide notes. Trump calling it “a real hit on Jesus” was characteristically blunt — and completely accurate. When the president is doing your opponent’s opposition research from 30,000 feet and delivering it like a stand-up set, your campaign has a terminal problem.
A candidate only a faculty lounge could love
Trump called Talarico “pathetic” and “very flawed.” Blunt? Sure. But examine the record. This is a candidate who has to deny his own dietary history, who contradicts basic biology during official proceedings, and who reinterprets Scripture to match progressive fashion trends.
The Democrat Party had an entire state to recruit from. This is who they chose to take on either John Cornyn or Ken Paxton. Trump’s confidence that “either one of them will easily win” isn’t bravado. It’s arithmetic — the same arithmetic Texas voters have been running for decades. Some lessons the Democrats simply refuse to learn.
Key Takeaways
- Trump masterfully exposed Talarico’s radical positions in a single devastating Air Force One takedown.
- Talarico’s vegan flip-flop reveals a candidate willing to fake his own identity for votes.
- Claiming six biological sexes and calling God “non-binary” is political poison in Texas.
- Democrats keep fielding far-left candidates in red states — and keep losing because of it.
