Democrat rising star called out for ‘creepy’ comment about transgender children
Are they actually going to vote on something real?
One of the Democratic Party’s newest rising stars, James Talarico, is being mocked for a "creepy" comment he made about children who identify as transgender in an unearthed podcast episode.
Talarico, a Texas state representative, is the Democratic Party’s nominee for the U.S. Senate. Since beating Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, for the nomination, Talarico has been in the spotlight for his track record of highly progressive comments and stances.
The latest is from a 2023 episode of the Superbloom Podcast in which host Candice King asks Talarico, "What is something that you love, other than family and friends?"
Talarico responds, "I love, I’m just saying this because it's on my mind, the trans children who showed up yesterday at the state capitol to advocate for their humanity." He added that "they shouldn’t have to, but it was an inspiration to watch."
Congressman Brandon Gill, R-Texas, responded to the video on X, writing, "Something that you love that's not family or friends?" TALARICO: "Trans children." Now that's just creepy."

Sen. Tim Sheehy, R-Mont., piled on as well, calling Talarico a "creepy goofball."
Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., called Talarico’s remark "Incredible," saying that "Talarico really does make Kamala Harris look like a social conservative."
In the same vein, conservative commentator Paul Szypula reacted, "And we all thought Crockett was woke."
The National Republican Senatorial Committee wrote, "Your Democrat nominee in Texas, folks."
Women’s sports activist Riley Gaines wrote, "James Talarico loves 'trans kids' so much that he advocates for them to cut off healthy, functioning body parts. Quite the display of love."
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, even joined in, writing that "James Talarico needs to learn the definition of 'humanity.'"
"It is the opposite of humane to advocate for the gender-mutilation of children," wrote Abbott, adding, "Texas rejects this radical ideology & will again in November."
SENATE CAMPAIGN CHIEF 'OPTIMISTIC' FOR GOP MAJORITY DESPITE DARKENING MIDTERM CLIMATE
Democrats are hoping that Talarico will be able to pull off a victory in November to become the first Democratic senator from Texas in decades. He will face either long-time incumbent Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, or state Attorney General Ken Paxton, who are currently locked in a bitter primary runoff.
