Jimmy’s interview with Democratic Senate candidate from Texas James Talarico was not televised because of threats from the FCC so we're hosting their discussion here on YouTube. James talks about Republicans being scared of him winning, Jesus being co-opted by MAGA, the RNC Convention being held in Texas, not taking money from corporate PACs, Trump calling him a “freaky guy” and having second thoughts about endorsing his opponent Ken Paxton, and the GOP making it harder for people to vote.

He has since done an interview where he expressed regret over his vaguely supportive statements on gender.

I guess he didn't say those things then, false alarm everyone.

You're being sarcastic, but I genuinely wouldn't trust Fox News not to misrepresent or straight up fabricate shit for the purpose of undermining and dividing the "left" (as in: anything left of Republicans). It may be accurate in this case, but a certain distrust is warranted.

I also can't imagine the Republican candidates to do better on that point, but Fox aren't gonna rub that in people's faces if they're trying to smear a "leftist" candidate.

What a fucked up shituation.
