Dem Senate Candidate James Talarico Says He Opposes Voter ID for Elections – Twitchy

The Democrat Party believes it’s finally found a candidate who can win a U.S. Senate race in Texas. That seems unlikely since the party is pushing James Talarico. His social media history and resurfaced interviews show that he’s on the far left extreme on just about every issue. Online users have discovered a 2021 interview he did with Pete Hegseth on Fox News.

It reveals that Talarico is a firm ‘NO’ on mandating voter ID. (WATCH)

The fact it’s Hegseth grilling him makes it even better.

Secretary of War v. Secretary of Woke.

That’s the truth!

Of course, Talarico is yet another Democrat who is on the 20 percent side of a highly popular issue.

80% of Americans support Voter ID.

Talarico is against it because he thinks we aren’t capable of getting licenses

He thinks Americans are stupid.

Don’t let this deranged radical anywhere near public office https://t.co/tCGYIedP6e

For everyone who though Crockett was radical, Talarico is even worse

opposed voter ID in 2021 and forgot the internet keeps receipts

He’s making it easy for the GOP to create campaign ads, that’s for sure.

One commenter says the Democrat Party needs to get with the times and help its voters obtain proper identification.

“Hundreds of thousands without a driver’s license”? No ID at all?

That sounds like their problem in the 21st century.

Is he going to be asked about any of this stuff by the journos?

Rhetorical question.

‘Journalists’ have an election to win. The last thing they’re going to do is ask questions that will hurt their favored Democrat candidates.

Posters say Democrats needed to run a moderate candidate for their best chance of winning Texas, not a far-left weirdo.

I know we’ve seen the Devo plastic wig pic for him, but his look gives off Sam Neill Omen vibes…probably because of his cuckoo ideology? pic.twitter.com/hnDe4MSoGC

That may be a little too on the nose.
