The liberal media uses terms like ‘Republicans seize’ and ‘Republicans pounce’ so often that they have become a running gag among conservatives.
In this case, the liberal Washington Post is complaining because Republicans are ‘painting’ James Talarico as a radical. Talarico is the left wing nut who Democrats have nominated for a U.S. Senate seat in Texas.
All Republicans are doing is sharing videos of Talarico speaking in his own words. It is not the fault of conservatives that Talarico believes that God is nonbinary or that displaying the Ten Commandments in schools is violence. These are his positions in his words.
Quoting his own words is painting him as a radical? Whatever.
From the Washington Post:
GOP, fearing tough fight for Texas Senate seat, paints Democrat as radical
Fearing a tougher-than-expected race for one of Texas’s two Senate seats, Republicans are trying to cast Democratic candidate James Talarico as a radical leftist out of step with voters.
They have resurfaced videos of Talarico’s past comments, including one in which the state representative declares that “God is nonbinary.” His two potential GOP opponents — who are headed to a bitter runoff in May — have shared sound bites of Talarico speaking on border security and attacked him for supporting trans rights.
National Republicans ratcheted up their attacks this week with a digital ad that shows an artificial-intelligence-generated Talarico reading similar, years-old social media posts about pronouns and “radicalized white men.”
The torrent of videos Republicans are resurfacing across social media points to how they will try to erode that image and paint Talarico as something very different: a liberal wolf in Christian sheep’s clothing.
“James Talarico thinks ‘God is nonbinary’ and wants to lay a welcome mat on our southern border,” said Samantha Cantrell, a spokeswoman for Senate Republicans’ campaign arm, which made the AI-generated ad and has shared other video clips. “He is radically out of touch with Texans, and they will not vote for this in November.”
Talarico has not directly addressed his past comments but instead said the attacks are part of a well-worn Republican playbook.
James Talarico said in an interview that he loves trans kids. Is that Republicans painting him as radical or is he doing that all on his own?

Talarico is a total wingnut and he has painted himself that way. He needs no assistance from Republicans.
