Abdul Carter says he will only address Jaxson Dart introducing Donald Trump one time: "Some things are bigger than football, and this is one of those things. Jaxson is one of our leaders - he's the face of our franchise. He represents himself and what he does, and he represents all of us. If he chooses to align himself with a man like President Trump, it's my responsibility based on what I believe and what I stand on to not only show my teammates that I'm against that, but to show the world. That doesn't mean that we have to spread hate. That doesn't mean that me and Jaxson hate each other or we have beef. I sit next to Jaxson every day - we're close, we talk. As long as we make sure we have the same goal as a team, and our goals align - which they do -that's all that matter. I just want to move past this."

Paxton's an adulterous sleazewagon who reeks of corruption & would help Democrats break the filibuster to their advantage. There's nothing virtuous about supporting him. I would never vote for him for an executive office, including the one he currently holds. But electing Talarico gets us one step closer to Court-packing & the whole Democratic package of efforts to shatter the American constitutional system of government permanently beyond repair. Throw in teaching Christians false things about their faith that will cost them their immortal souls, and I'll take Paxton over that any day.

Since I’m going to be hearing this for the next 6 months as a Texas voter, let me answer the question: “You would vote for an adulterer over James Talarico? That’s not very Christian.” Here’s the truth: I would rather vote for almost anyone else who is going to at least advocate for conservative *policies* over a literal heretic who wears my faith like a skin suit, advocates for policies that harm children, endorses immorality and generally harm society. Ken Paxton has personal baggage. I don’t deny that. But Talarico has plenty too — and he openly mocks God’s law and treats Jesus as a political mascot all while pushing a radical far-left agenda that would be a disaster for my state. You see, I’m an adult. I do not expect those who are seeking political office to be my moral superiors or even trustworthy. They are tools to be used to do the least amount of damage via policy. I wish more pastors and men who live godly lives were running. I really do. But the options we get are what they are. Paxton supports secure borders, law enforcement, lower taxes, unleashing American energy, the Second Amendment, just to name a few. Talarico supports unlimited abortion, trans-ing children, higher taxes, government-run “healthcare,” and is incredibly comfortable blaspheming the word of God. I’m not voting for a priest. I’m voting for an imperfect person to represent my interests. That’s how it works. You’re not going to guilt trip Texans into supporting a looney tunes candidate like Talarico. Paxton will win by 5+. It’s about policy, not personality.

That Talarico nerd is going to be the most memed Democrat since Beto O'Rourke. Why can't Texas Democrats just find a semi-human to run for Senate?
