Trump was pontificating on the TX Senate race on Airforce One on the way back from China and he tried to rip James Talarico, the Democratic nominee who is currently leading in the race.
He said that Talarico was bad news because he wore a mask recently, and he was a vegan. I mean....that's pretty weak sauce.
Compared to all the mud being slung between the Cornyn and Paxton, is that supposed tp turn people away from Talarico? Are people in TX really that skeered of masks?

I know when I go to Methodist Hospital on certain floors, they might still request masks. That is only as absolutely necessary for the most fragile patients.

(37,126 posts)Anyone can go on social media and see what James is doing lately. If he was wearing a mask he was probably visiting kids in a cancer ward, and that is what I'd tell Trump. Moron.
Trump is not only stupid, he's terrified of James Talarico because he knows he can win. When they lose Texas it's game over.

(2,074 posts)Not that it should matter (but Texas can be kind of stupid about our bbq, so there is that), but the last time this "Talarico is a vegan" smear came up Talarico's team had to post a big picture of him on social media chewing on a turkey leg at the Texas State fair... lol.
