President Donald J. Trump unloaded on ‘weird’ Texas Democrat Senate hopeful James Talarico, a Bible-thumping, trans-worshipping vegan.
The president has yet to endorse one of the two Texas Republicans in the closely watched Senate race, but he shared his thoughts on the bizarre candidate that the Democrats are running.
The Texas state representative is the party’s great white hope after he clobbered the ghetto trash-talking Jasmine Crockett in the primary in March and will face either embattled incumbent RINO Sen. John Cornyn or Attorney General Ken Paxton, giving Texans a clear choice between more left-wing freakishness and rationality.
When asked about which GOP candidate he plans to endorse in the Lone Star State on board Air Force One on Friday, the president ducked the question and instead focused on the quirky Talarico.

“Well, I’ll maybe make a decision,” Trump said of the two Republicans. “I know them both very well. I like them both a lot, and you know, my record of endorsements is extraordinary,” touting his clout in the recent GOP Indiana primary.
He then turned to the Democrat hopeful, whom, to put it mildly, he isn’t a big fan of.
“I’ll tell you what I do think,” he said. “I think the Democrats have a weird, a weird candidate.”
“Six genders, a real hit on Jesus. I mean, this guy is bad news with his mask from relatively recently,” Trump continued. “And he’s vegan. He’s a vegan, all of a sudden, he’s not a vegan. He’s a vegan. Now, all of a sudden, he’s not. Texas doesn’t like vegans.”
“I do believe either one of them will easily win the race,” the president added, referring to the two Republicans. “I think that the candidate the Democrats have in Texas is a very flawed, very weak, very. I think he’s a pathetic candidate, especially for Texas.”
Turning Texas blue has long been the Holy Grail for the Democrats, and the importation of millions of illegal alien voters has seemingly put it within their reach, with the Senate race being a test run for the party’s larger scheme.
Dems are already bringing out the big guns for Talarico, who has been a guest on the party’s late-night propaganda shows and is being boosted by none other than former President Barack Obama.
When I was a student at UT, I registered voters for Obama’s 2008 campaign — a campaign of hope.
President Obama just showed up at UT and told young Texans: “Now you have the chance to join a campaign of hope.”

The candidate was also accompanied by Obama during a visit to a taco eatery in Austin, with his vegan order being mocked. Trump’s reference to the six genders refers to Talarico’s 2021 proclamation that “there are six” biological sexes.
Beto O’Rourke just wasn’t weird enough for the Democrats.
