Reporter: Ken Paxton has taken to calling you ‘Talafreako’ James Talarico: If Ken Paxton is worried about freaks, he should stop giving Epstein-style sweetheart deals to pedophiles. This is the guy who just released Adam Hoffman from jail, an admitted child rapist, after one of Ken Paxton’s wealthy lawyer friends got involved in the case. Ken Paxton even kept him off the sex offender registry. Adam Hoffman was supposed to serve 25 years to life, but instead he served less than a month. As of this week, he’s now back on our streets because of Ken Paxton’s corruption. Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America, and it is costing Texans, it’s endangering our children, and it must end. The Epstein class has no place in Texas.

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America. Calling him a crook is like calling Texas summers warm. We cannot allow him to become a United States senator. James Talarico can stop him.

🚨 JAMES TALARICO’S FIRST MOVE: CALL KEN PAXTON THE MOST CORRUPT POLITICIAN IN AMERICA James Talarico wasted no time. He went straight to calling Paxton “the most corrupt politician in America,” brought up his impeachment from three years ago, and claimed Paxton is the reason Texans “can’t afford anything.” This is the same James Talarico who believes in six genders, thinks eating meat is immoral, and says God is non-binary. But sure, the real problem in Texas politics is Ken Paxton. Talarico then declared it will be “the people versus Ken Paxton” as if the actual voters in the Republican primary didn’t just hand Paxton a win.
