After Pledging to Eliminate 620,000 Texas Jobs, Talarico Jets Off to California

Commentary

Yesterday, we learned James Talarico believes the 620,000 Texans who work in the oil and gas industry have "outdated" jobs that he wants to "dismantle."


Talarico even tried to make it reality by introducing a bill requiring a 93% reduction in emissions in Texas, all but killing the oil and gas industry and every job it supports in Texas.


But instead of answering for his past positions and statements, Talarico hid behind a staffer statement and refused to explain when he changed his past positions and why Texans should trust that he won't eliminate their job.


Don't expect those answers soon. Talarico is jetting off to California to fundraise with Hollywood elites.

 

Will he be taking an electric vehicle to save the climate, or is he flying private on a gas-powered plane like every other climate hypocrite?

 

“This is peak liberal hypocrisy from James Talarico. He wants to kill Texans' jobs to stop white supremacy but that won't be stopping him from flying private all around the country to rub elbows with California billionaires and Epstein clients." - RNC spokesman Zach Kraft
