BREAKING: Democrat James Talarico pounces on his MAGA opponent Ken Paxton just moments after he won the Republican primary — airing his dirty criminal laundry to the entire world.
This Senate seat is really in play now...
"Something just happened in Texas. The most corrupt politician in America just became the Republican nominee for the United States Senate," Talarico said in a video posted to X. "Three years ago, Ken Paxton was impeached by his own party for using his public office to enrich himself and his donors at the expense of the people."
"That kind of corruption is the rot at the core of this broken system. It's why we can't afford anything. It's why we can't get ahead no matter how hard we work," he continued.
Paxton beat out Republican incumbent Senator John Cornyn in the Texas primary, largely because the former was endorsed by Trump. Paxton represents the very worst that this country has to offer. He was impeached by his own party for taking bribes as state attorney general and his wife divorced him for adultery.
Paxton said that the horrific Uvalde school shooting — during which 21 people died and 18 others were injured — was just "part of God's plan."
Worse still, Paxton's office offered a sweetheart plea deal to a man who repeatedly sexually abused a young boy. That deal would have let the child molester plead guilty to two misdemeanors and serve just a single day in jail. Paxton is a pedophile protector, which explains in part why Trump likes him so much.
"For 50 years, mega donors and their puppet politicians like Ken Paxton have stolen from us with their bribes, their bailouts, and their billionaire tax breaks. Ken Paxton has gotten away with it," Talarico continued in his video. "They've all gotten away with it. "
"But that ends this year, in this state, in this race. If we the people can come together to defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system. We can start unrigging this economy," he said. "We can start raising our pay, cutting our taxes, lowering our costs. We can finally get ahead. It's time to come together."
"The people versus Ken Paxton," Talarico concluded.
In a separate tweet Talarico, who is a state representative, welcomed Cornyn's supporters to join his coalition.
"I want to thank Senator John Cornyn for his years representing our state," he wrote "We don’t agree on everything, but we both still believe in public service. To Senator Cornyn’s supporters: you have a place in our campaign."
Texas deserves a real senator for once.
In James Talarico, they've finally found one.
