Texas state Rep. and Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico addresses Republican attacks tied to remarks he previously made about God being “non-binary.” In an interview with CBS News, Talarico says he regrets some of his earlier statements, characterizing the comments as things he “certainly” regrets. He also argues that Republican attorney general Ken Paxton is using the past comments as a distraction, saying Paxton is “intentionally clipping” the remarks to divert attention from Paxton’s record.
Fox News similarly reports that Talarico, when confronted with claims about his earlier language, acknowledges the statements “missed the mark.” Both outlets frame the issue as part of the Texas Senate campaign, with Paxton’s campaign using the remarks politically and Talarico responding by expressing regret and disputing how the comments are being presented.
