Colin Allred unleashes on James Talarico over alleged ‘mediocre Black man’ comment

Talarico called the allegation a mischaracterization of a private conversation in which he critiqued Allred’s campaign strategy, not his life or service: ‘I would never attack him on the basis of race.’

State Rep. James Talarico, a 31-year-old candidate for U.S. Senate who held campaign rallies in the Houston area over the weekend, is embracing the “wilderness” state of the Democratic Party.

In a fiery speech Thursday night in Houston's Fifth Ward, Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Colin Allred criticized the state’s response to the deadly floods in the Texas Hill Country and condemned Gov. Greg Abbott’s call for redistricting.

Democrats in Texas were thrashed in last week’s election. It wasn’t supposed to go like this. For @TexasObserver, Gus Bova looks at how it happened, and offers a couple of things to think about.

To win in Texas, U.S. Senate candidate Colin Allred aims to appeal to Democrats and moderates

@rightwingwatchdotorg
These people are STUNNINGLY disconnected from reality.

During last Tuesdays #debate between #ColinAllred and #CarnivalCruz... in response to a question about #Jan6 no less... Cruz tried the #PeeWeeDefense ("I know you are, but what am I?") to accuse "The Left" of being the *true* angry/violent ones, pointing to the assassination attempts upon T**** (by Right-Wingers) and accusing (fictional) #AntiFa and #BLM of "burning down" cities (a ludicrous & wild over-exaggeration.)

I previously noted the weird attack ads against Colin Allred citing the case of Mack Beggs as evidence that Allred fails to protect girls sports.

https://www.outsports.com/2024/10/16/24102818/ted-cruz-trans-athlete-mack-beggs-ad-senate-campaign-colin-allred/

From the article: The UIL regulations said that he has to compete in the category corresponding to the sex denoted on his birth certificate. Beggs was forced to compete in the girl’s competition, which is exactly the rules Republicans like Cruz endorse now.

This is nice to see:

"67% of viewers polled say #ColinAllred won last nights' debate" against #CarnivalCruz.
https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/article/cruz-allred-debate-19838807.php

I JUST WATCHED the #Texas Senate #debate between #ColinAllred & #CarnivalCruz. Cruz played to his base and I doubt changed many minds.

But I'd like to spotlight one line:

#Cruz repeatedly vilified Nancy #Pelosi… then called #Democrats "violent" (during a question re: #Jan6). Accused #Antifa & #BLM of "burning down cities".

PELOSI IS NO LONGER SPEAKER. And the REASON is b/c a RW psychopath driven by T****'s vitriol went to her house to kill her and ended up bludgeoning her husband w/a hammer.

#RepublicanParty #mailer attacked #TedCruz’s opponent #ColinAllred for allowing a #trans #girl to compete in #girls #sports. As usual, their #hateful #falseclaims were based on #lies.

#Trans #Boy #MackBeggs fought to #compete with #boys but was forced to wrestle #girls due to the #gendermarker on his #birthcertificate, enforced by transphobic officials from the #TexasUniversityInterscholasticLeague, which oversees #publicschool #sports in the state.

https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2024/10/gop-mailer-bashed-ted-cruzs-opponent-for-letting-a-trans-girl-play-girls-sports-it-was-all-lies/

Ted Cruz's “#FetalPersonhood” measures could outlaw not just #IVF, but access to #BirthControl. He is too extreme for #Texas.

#TX can trust #ColinAllred to make #RoeVWade the law of the land.

I've learned that Mack has gone on to compete in college wrestling in men's competition. He’s now an advocate for trans rights in Texas and works to protect trans youth.

I've also learned people in the trans community are pretty decently aware of him. As a cishet dude, I was not.

Thanks, Texas GOP, for making me aware of this awesome man, and confirming I should vote for Colin Allred over Rafael Cruz.

NOW he's vilifying #transgender #KIDS, saying "Allred can't tell the difference between boys & girls" and "wants boys in girl's locker rooms."

Can these #Republicans get any more offensive? #GOPHatred #GOPViolence #Trans 🤬
