Rep. Chip Roy didn’t mince words on Friday’s Finnerty, telling Newsmax that James Talarico is “100% out of step with the average Texan” — and he’s right to call him out. Roy pointed to Talarico’s record and past pronouncements on faith, crime, and the border as proof that this Democrat is not the moderate foil the left tries to sell him as. The warning from a conservative Texas voice should be heard loud and clear across the state.
Talarico’s political résumé includes moments that should make any serious Texan uneasy about sending him to Washington — including a now-infamous floor line where he declared that “God is nonbinary” while defending radical woke positions. Those remarks are not small gaffes; they reveal a worldview at odds with the faith and common-sense values that animate so many working families in Texas. Voters deserve to know the whole record before anyone tries to package him as a Bible-bearing moderate.
It gets worse: on the substance of policy, Talarico voted against conservative measures that protected children and backed positions favoring unrestricted gender ideology before he suddenly tried to “moderate” for the general election. Republicans are rightly calling this a flip-flop — you don’t get to campaign as a protector of kids and then defend votes that stripped parents and doctors of clear authority. Americans, especially parents, will not be fooled by polished ad copy when the voting record tells a different story.
On the border, Talarico’s “front porch” line — often clipped and weaponized by opponents — does have a factual basis in his rhetoric, even if he later points to fuller context. Texans know what a secure border looks like: a front porch with a welcome mat and a lock on the door, not an open invitation to chaos. Anyone who shrugs at the crisis at our southern border is failing the duty to protect neighbors, businesses, and communities from the violent cartels and criminal networks exploiting Biden’s lax policies.
Roy also accused Talarico of being “radical on crime,” and that’s not empty talk — Democrats like him have repeatedly opposed commonsense measures that put bad actors behind bars and back the police. In cities where left-wing policies have been tried, citizens watched the slow corrosion of public safety; Texans won’t allow the same experiment at the federal level. If the choice is between law and order or experiments in soft-on-crime governance, conservatives should make their voices heard loudly and early.
This race is razor-tight, and that’s why conservative activists, churchgoers, and working families can’t stay home. Multiple polls show the contest with Ken Paxton and James Talarico in a dead heat, meaning turnout and grassroots energy will decide whether Texas keeps sending commonsense representatives to the Senate. The stakes are enormous: judges, border policy, fiscal sanity, and the preservation of our social fabric hang in the balance.
Americans who love liberty, faith, and safe communities should treat Talarico’s candidacy the way Chip Roy did: with skepticism and a refusal to be lectured by left-wing PR work. Conservatives must keep reminding voters about the record — the votes, the rhetoric, the real consequences — and make sure Texas does not hand a pivotal Senate seat to someone who’s spent years championing woke ideology. It’s time for patriots across the state to stand up for common sense and secure, prosperous communities.
