Far-left Texas Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico’s attempt to humiliate his opponent, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, over a seemingly racist post from another GOP statewide candidate backfired yesterday when his own bigoted words were tossed back in his face.
Over the weekend, Bo French, the Republican nominee for Texas Railroad Commissioner, sparked massive outrage among Democrats and his own party after posting a tweet criticizing the fact that students of color were celebrating the Texas Longhorns’ dramatic comeback win over the Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday night.
The students in the picture appear to be of Asian origin.
“I heard UT graduation this year looked like this. I didn’t believe it,” French wrote. “The problem is now obviously far worse than anyone imagined.”

Sensing a cheap political opportunity, Talarico eagerly shared a post from RINO Texas Senator John Cornyn that blasted French’s tweet and taunted Paxton over whether he would join the pile-on or “cower to extremists”.
Thank you @JohnCornyn for your leadership.
Racism has no place in Texas.@KenPaxtonTX: will you condemn this blatant racism or will you cower to extremists? https://t.co/MWHEvrPdPV

Paxton fired back with an absolutely perfect response. He made it clear that not only did he deplore racism, but he also turned the tables on Talarico by pointing out his multiple anti-white statements over the past several years.
“I condemn racism in all its forms, including James Talarico saying white men are America’s top terror threat and that he prays to overcome his own ‘whiteness,’ whatever that means,” Paxton wrote. “Only one person in this race has a history of dividing Texans by race, and it’s James Talarico.”
“I will continue to focus on uniting our State and bringing together the broadest possible coalition to fight for Texas, our values, and our families,” he added.

Americans were fired up over Paxton’s brilliant reply.

This was the correct path for you to take. Talarico is the racist running for Senate. pic.twitter.com/UwexfEZkxg
