James Talarico, the far left candidate running for U.S. Senate in Texas, seems to be a single-issue candidate. Every time his name comes up, so does the topic of ‘trans children.’
He is obsessed with the issue and has talked about it extensively. For him, it doesn’t seem to matter how the public feels about this.
Now we are learning that he is even campaigning with a doctor who has performed transgender surgery on children. How is this supposed to appeal to the voters of Texas?
FOX News reports:
Talarico campaigns with surgeon who operated on transgender minors: ‘Wolf in sheep’s clothing’
Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico is facing questions after fundraising with a “female-to-male” top surgeon who previously operated on minors shortly after saying that he does not support sex-change surgeries for children.
Talarico, a progressive Democrat, state lawmaker and Presbyterian seminarian, is running a highly competitive race to flip a Texas Senate seat for the first time in decades. He is opposing Republican state attorney general Ken Paxton. The seat is critical to both parties’ hopes of holding a Senate majority this next session.
During an appearance on the “Unity Over Division” podcast on June 8, Talarico responded to criticisms that he supports gender transition for minors by stating, “I oppose gender reassignment surgeries for minors.”
Days later, he participated in an Austin “Pride for Talarico” fundraiser that featured Dr. Dustin Reid, a female-to-male breast surgeon who confirmed with Fox News Digital that he previously operated on minors in “rare” cases prior to Texas banning the practice. He said that he no longer performs these surgeries in line with Texas law.
Speaking with Fox News Digital over the phone, Reid confirmed his participation in the event in support of Talarico. He said that “in the past, on a case-by-case basis, I would do that [female-to-male surgeries on minors] but not since they made it illegal in Texas.”
There are plenty of reasons to oppose Talarico’s candidacy, but this issue could be the one that sinks him.
Texas Dem Senate candidate James Talarico says he opposes gender surgeries for minors—then fundraises days later with a surgeon who performed them on kids. Actions speak louder than words, and voters are paying attention. #txsen #Texas #Paxton #Talaricohttps://t.co/Op4EyAwbyI

The public does not want this. They want children to be left alone.
Talarico doesn’t seem to care.
