Texas Democrat Running for U.S. Senate Under Fire for Allegedly Making Racist Comment About Black Colleague
James Talarico is a Democrat rep. in Texas who is running for U.S. Senate, but he is not the only one vying for that nomination.
Jasmine Crockett is running for it as well, and so is another black Democrat named Colin Allred.
Talarico may have already nuked his campaign, because he allegedly made some questionable comments about Allred. Isn’t it funny when Democrats succumb to their own attack tactics?
FOX 4 in Texas reports:
Colin Allred blasts Senate hopeful James Talarico over alleged ‘mediocre’ comment
A dispute over alleged racial comments could impact voter preferences in the upcoming Democratic Senate primary.
On Monday afternoon, former congressman Colin Allred blasted Senate candidate James Talarico for comments the senate hopeful reportedly said about his Black former political opponent.
“I understand that James Talarico had the temerity and audacity to say to a Black woman that he had signed up to run against a mediocre black man, meaning me,” Allred said in a social media video.
“This man should not be our nominee for Senate. I was not going to get involved in this race, but don’t come for me unless I send for you, OK James? And keep my name out of your mouth.”
“This man should not be our nominee for Senate. I was not going to get involved in this race, but don’t come for me unless I send for you, OK James? And keep my name out of your mouth.”
TikTok influencer Morgan Thompson laid out the claims from a private conversation she had with Talarico last month, saying he told her he signed up to run against “a mediocre Black man,” referring to Allred, and “not a formidable, intelligent Black woman” referring to his current opponent, Jasmine Crockett.
Caolin Allred responded on Twitter/X.

Talarico is also under fire from Christians for some comments he made during an appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast where he tried to make a case that the Bible is pro-choice. Watch:

For progressives, their progressivism always comes first, before everything. That’s why Talarico twisted himself into knots trying to make the Bible sound pro-choice. Their politics always come first.
