Republicans have indicated they intend to portray Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico as a "freak," but he pushed back strongly against his GOP rival in Texas, Ken Paxton.

The Donald Trump-endorsed Texas attorney general Paxton slurred the state legislator as "Tala-freako" in his victory speech after beating Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) in a closely watched GOP runoff election.Talarico leveled an attack of his own after Paxton and other Republicans smeared him in thinly veiled homophobic language.

"If Ken Paxton is worried about freaks, he should stop giving Epstein-style sweetheart deals to pedophiles," Talarico told CBS News. This is the guy who just released Adam Hoffman from jail, an admitted child rapist, after one of Ken Paxton's wealthy lawyer friends got involved in the case. Ken Paxton even kept him off the sex offender registry."

1. This is how you beat maga: run their own ads against them but cite your sources

Exactly how Talarico is doing it. The Hoffman deal will be exhibit A of this campaign.

It wont be long before the billionaires funding the superpac ads realize they arent doing anything

2. They want to paint a straight-laced Christian as a freak?

One of the few honest, decent people in politics? That dog won’t hunt. Just look at his picture, does that look like a freak to you? Especially next to beady-eyed Crooked Ken.

3. By late June, when the ad buys begin in earnest,

the evangelical mask will come off the TX GOP. The self-styled conservatives will reveal themselves for what they are: apostates kneeling before a golden calf, treating religion as just another tool of power. Once faith no longer serves their ambitions, it is discarded, reduced to a meme they themselves no longer believe (e.g., Conservative Family Values... the mere mention of it today wounds them as they struggle to forget its now-inconvenient existence)
