James Talarico has bad week; Epstein-Tied Backer Revealed

Saturday, July 18, 2026

Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, a Democrat, faced a week of hell thanks to the release of multiple bombshell reports about him and his allies. The first report revealed that LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, a prominent billionaire venture capitalist, donated $10 million last month to a PAC supporting Talarico's campaign. This is problematic because Hoffman has ties to deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. "The release of the Epstein files' showed Hoffman maintained contact with Epstein after the financier pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor in 2008," according to The Texas Tribune. Yet Talarico has repeatedly insisted in his attacks on Republicans that "the Epstein class has no place in Texas." Unless, it appears, the so-called "Epstein class" is donating to one's campaign?

Paxton went off to Europe with a woman not his wife; after a long history of adultery with other women.

Paxton is man who actively protects sex offenders.

If the game is whatabout come November, Paxton loses

Donald Trump, who endorses Paxton, has ties to deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Struggling to defend your pernicious point of view has rendered you daft.

-In fairness, a Talarico spokesperson argued in a statement to the Tribune that the campaign "has no control over contributions to any super PAC."

This the same guy who told everyone all his contributions were from individuals, and under $100 dollars.

Now he's linked to the Epstein-class billionaires.

"the Epstein class has no place in Texas."

Does lfthndthrds believe this?

We don't even know the full count in this Epstein Class, because the prime member of that class, Trump, refuses to release the files.

As Trump himself says, because he wants to protect his "friends".

Have you ever sat back to contemplate what a sad, stupid, and vicious place this would be with people like you wholly in charge?

Oh look, lfthndpedo the pedo supporter thinks one guy donating to a PAC that supports a candidate is suddenly dire news.

F*&^ off, idiot. You're exactly the reason our country is circling the drain.

That idiot has always been daft.

He's used this "reasoning" more than a few times whereby he absolves himself of any moral or value based assessment of a Republican by finding a single Democrat doing something he paints as similar to what he preferred scumbag is doing, thereby putting a "but they do it toooo" argument into play and *pooof* concerns gone.

It doesn't matter how tortured or circuitous the logic (if you can call it that...) is, he just needs to convince himself one Dem somewhere, some time and somehow did the horrid things his preferred Republican s*&^bag did. Probably him as well. I can't see any other reason for the sudden flexibility on pedos other than he's a creepy piece of s*&^ himself.

Talarico apparently believes the Epstein class has a place in Texas, because he's taking their money.

Here's your chance to shine, Zed. You can renounce the billionaire, pedo money and distance yourself from Talarico.

Is being associated with Epstein bad now?

Turds voted for Epstein's best friend, Trump, three times and can't want to vote for pedophile protector Ken Paxton.

But people donating money to a PAC is unacceptable!

Well, that's just as bad as Trump raping children!

Just as bad as Ken Paxton helping release pedophiles back into the community!

Looks like Turds has no opinion but to vote for Pedophile Trump and Pedophile Protector Ken Paxton.

That's not what's unacceptable.. It's the silence... Silence is consent. We know how these things work. You can polish this turd all you want, but he's just another grifter.

Imagine being so dumb you don't know the difference between a person and a PAC.

That's a MAGA Pedo for you.

And LeftHandPedo, how far do they say you have to stay away from schools again?
