Notable Quotable: James Talarico Addresses Low-T

James Talarico has been the brunt of countless unfounded, crass "low-T" jokes, spread by Republican political strategists, right-leaning political cartoonists, and Pete Hegseth. Secretary Hegseth whipped up such a frenzy over low-T that his pastor called for Talarico's death by crucifixion.

Texas voters want genuine solutions to the problems they face instead of more character assassination and droning on about low-T.  So, recently, Talarico called out the juvenile behavior:  

"Guys my age aren't really worried about that kind of thing. People are really tired of this kind of professional wrestling in our politics.

"These old guys are lathered up in their fake tans, throwing these corny nicknames at each other. People are wanting serious leaders who are going to get this economy back on track, who are going to start to lower costs, who are going to start to raise pay. And people are catching on to the fact that these corny nicknames don't lower the cost of groceries, don't lower the cost of prescription drugs, don't lower the price of gas.”

The Republican Party is no longer a distinguished organization. By hitting so low below the belt, it models an extreme form of outrageous behavior beyond what this nation has ever seen. By stooping to crudity and vulgarities, it positions itself as a soiled porta potty rather than a solution-oriented political party. Ultimately, by sanctioning this behavior, it teaches fans to use their fists in a discussion, not their hearts or brains. For this reason alone, the Republican party does not deserve to win in November.
