Catholic Texas Prof Busts Talarico After Absurd

We’ve written before about how two Democrat Senate nominees are testing the waters to see how far their “progressive Christianity” can take them in pink states where conventional Christian values on issues of household and religion might be the distinction between a successful and dropping marketing campaign.

One of them is Kansas Democrat nominee Adam Hamilton, the senior pastor of the Church of the Resurrection, a United Methodist Church (UMC). Some of Hamilton’s unearthed sermons are real doozies, just like the one where he urged congregants needed to be “repentant” for their supposed contributions to climate change as meat-loving Kansans who love to drive. He’s also been instrumental in pulling the UMC to the left on LGBTQ points.

The other one is Texas Democrat nominee James Talarico, who, as PinkState has extensively documented, has been making wacky, supposedly “biblically based” assertions about political issues for years as a state consultant. “When I take on the politicians who are serving themselves and not the people, I’m doing it on biblical grounds,” Talarico just lately (and falsely) proclaimed.

Abortion, though, is one issue that Talarico has beforehand (and wrongly) asserted the Bible is “silent” on. The absurd assertion has been resoundingly debunked, which we reported right here, but Talarico continues to make the declare, as we noticed during a GWN city corridor Wednesday evening, which was held in the Lone Star State.

Watch this clip, where not only does the purported Presbyterian seminarian repeat the lie, but he also tries to persuade an orthodox Catholic Texas voter to discover common ground with him on contraception. The absolute nerve of this man:

Texas voter Jody Hunt: If you can not present insurance policies that defend the most harmless among us, the unborn little one, how can we trust that you’ll defend the remainder of Texans? TALARICO: “We’re both Christians, and the Bible is silent on abortion.” IS THIS TRUE??? https://t.co/UWaiVX1xWj

Survey says… NOPE. And Ms. Hunt, who is also a distinguished theology professor, busted him over it in what, in a truthful and just world, ought to be the start of the end of his marketing campaign:

“I just want to add that the Bible is not silent on abortion. There is the 10 Commandments: ‘Thou shall not kill,’” Hunt shot back.

She added, “And as Catholics, we take great insult, I guess sometimes, when it’s described that way.”

Hunt additional famous that Talarico’s call for increasing access to contraception and what he described as “age-appropriate sex education” is a “very trying thing” for Catholics.     

WOW

Texas voter and precise Christian CLAPS BACK

Here’s the fuller exchange. She dunked all over Talarico with a smile on her face:

That, associates, is how it is performed. No-nonsense. Texas-style. Now Texas voters need to do their factor at the poll box and keep the state pink – and Talarico out of Washington, D.C.

Editor’s Note: The 2026 Midterms will decide the destiny of President Trump’s America First agenda. Republicans must preserve control of both chambers of Congress.
