Karol Markowicz writes for the New York Post about a left-wing politician’s current disguise.
Sixteen months after Kamala Harris cackled her way into a loss to President Trump, the Democratic Party seems to have realized its candidates need an image makeover to get voters to forget what their team actually believes.
The name of the game is acting normal and talking like a moderate.
For Democrats, that’s a stretch.
James Talarico of Texas is their bright new “moderate” hope.
He won a US Senate primary election this week largely by touting his Christianity, being respectful to his opponents, and generally presenting himself as the boy-next-door counterweight to his excitable opponent, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas).
Look at this sane man, declared the media. …
… But the moderate façade may already be crumbling.
In 2020, Talarico was tweeting about the “virus” of “racism.”
Who had it? White people, he said — all of them.
“White skin gives me and every white American immunity from the virus,” he posted. “But we spread it wherever we go — through our words, our actions, and our systems.
“We don’t have to be showing symptoms — like a white hood or a Confederate flag — to be contagious.”
This is what passes for “normal” among Democrats?
Ironically, Talarico defeated Crockett, a black woman, for the nomination.
Maybe he’s the one with that infection.
In 2021, Talarico, a member of the state legislature, argued in favor of a bill that would allow biological boys to play in girls’ sports.
“God is nonbinary,” he declared on the state House floor.
“The thing I want us all to be aware of is … modern science obviously recognizes there are many more than two biological sexes,” he went on. “In fact, there are six.”
Believing in six (or more!) genders is insane enough to most of us — but six biological sexes?
The mind reels.
That same year, Talarico very proudly announced that his office was the first to put pronouns on staffers’ business cards.
