Paxton won’t agree to debate Talarico, and we all know why. He doesn’t want to answer these questions: “Why did you give an Epstein-style sweetheart deal to an admitted child predator? Why were you impeached… by your own party? Why do you own 15 homes on a government salary?” James Talarico

Paxton & all TX GOP are able to see how thin their arguments for their reelection after 40 years as majority; lack of TX humanitarian integrity & medical, educational & financial decline in TX.

Corruption in full display by Ken Paxton/Texas 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 #TurnTexasBlue #TurnTexasBlue #TurnTexasBlue #TurnTexasBlue #TurnTexasBlue

How can you debate some one when the only thing you have to say is "Trans! Immigrants! How much steak does this guy even eat any way?!" "We need to win so us GOP can make sure we fix every thing!" -A state that's been red for nearly 30 years. What an empty headed clown.

He needs to just keep asking these questions into the ether, often and with a slightly puzzled expression. Every time the media gives him time to draw breath near a microphone

Paxton is behind in the polls. Underdogs almost always agree to debate, unless they have a LOT to hide. And of course, Paxton has a LOT to hide lol. It is a REALLY bad look that he is afraid to debate Talarico.

The "refusal to debate" is the ultimate political firewall. Why risk a live demo when you can just let the lawyers handle the bug fixes in court?

That’s only part of the reason why. He is also a moron and will get completely gutted by Talarico. Looking stupid in TX isn’t really a political liability for Republicans but it is uncomfortable to have all Those memes popping up in your feed.

We're really going to see the depths of Republican depravity in these races. Even if Talarico wins by a few points, Republicans will still have overwhelmingly voted for one of the worst people in America again.

Although it may seem trivial, Parks’s theft of an expensive pen was caught on camera. The incident could resonate with independent voters and some Republicans by raising questions about his character and moral judgment when he thought no one was watching.

Talarico should show up at every proposed debate without Paxton and use that time to do a little free campaigning! Spread the word please, Mr. Talarico!

And why do have Voter Registrations from two different properties That you own? Are you "Voting by Mail," from either or both of those properties? If so that is committing VOTER FRAUD! SO YOU SHOULD BE LOCKED UP A D DISQUALIFIED FROM THE RACE FOR THE US Senate !

Republicans are afraid to debate. They've got nothing! Only eating cats and dogs. And, gee I thought you weren't going to fact check me. wth

😱🥶👏The more we know and the more we see. Don't let the wild lies tell you that you are misguided. The love and affection Trump feels for him is one of coverups. Trump owes to him for the distortions and lies. Now Trump is expecting you to help him save to the lies that kept him out of jail.😱

Talarico’s rad. He’s got Richie Cunningham’s squeaky clean vibe, Pete Buttigieg’s stealthy calm and charismatic command of the facts, and, dare I compare, MLK Jr’s deeply rooted real-Christian inspiration for what’s just. Talarico for Texas.

Your description is spot on. I was thinking Cary Grant, but Richie Cunningham is more like it. Then you add Buttigieg's stealthy calm & MLK Jr's real Christianity, and this three-circle Venn Diagram perfectly describes this young man's persona.

I wish we had someone like him in Florida running against any of the loud family values Christian Nationalists who leapt for joy when Alligator Alcatraz opened and cretins in MAGA hats shot selfies of themselves laughing, pointing at, and touching the sign out front.

It's time to start SUING the child rapist in the oval office. He's unleashed domestic terrorists upon our populace who murder, rape and assault our residents. He's fucked up all our food collection and processing functions. He's fucked up our economy and insulted our allies. IT IS TIME TO SUE!

He and Rodgers are using the same playbook. Neither he nor Paxton will debate their opponents. Paxton doesn't want to look like a fool next to Talarico and Rogers doesn't want to look like a fool next to El-Sayed! Why would anyone vote for these cowards?

Paxton won't debate because he's not the least bit worried about losing; the same goes for all the other #FascistGOP candidates and their #DearLeader. They will never willingly or peacefully give up power. Hope I'm wrong. #Resist #PERSIST #RiseUp #FightBack #Vote #GoodTrouble #WeThePeople

Don't be fooled by all these GOP Senators suddenly having a change of heart. THAT'S THEIR MOTO. LIE TO GET THE VOTE THEN DO THE OPPOSITE. Any GOP senator saying they are 'breaking with Trump' is LYING. If they retain their seat they will continue to vote with Trump....they've been doing it 10 yrs!!

Ken Paxton & Greg Abbott are examples of rich CORRUPT REPUBLICANS trying to take over government for their own GREED. They have no empathy or understanding of the working class. They have not represented the interests of Texas! TEXAS DO BETTER VOTE IN JAMES TALARICO & GINA HINOJOSA! VOTE BLUE!

Mostly true, but the "own 15 homes on a government salary" comes from a brand of disingenuous arguments. A person's wealth isn't necessarily based solely on their day job. There's any number of scenarios where it can happen legally. Not saying that's the case with him. Just calling out the rhetoric

Or...and this may be the most troubling...his insider polls are telling him he doesn't have to. It is Texas after all...they vote GOP when the time comes. If Talarico wins...it will be after many recounts and days after the election.

A more pointed question would be "HOW do you own 15 homes on a government salary?" and follow-up "Why do you need to own 15 homes at all?".

Ken Paxton built his initial fortune as a corporate attorney for JCPenney and through private legal practice, later expanding it significantly through private company investments—such as a $2.2 million payout from a body camera firm—and extensive real estate ventures.

Either that, or he doesn't have to because he knows his corruption daddies are going to swoop in and take over the voting. Or make such a big stink and contest the outcome that there won't be a sure winner for months.

You’d have to be moral sleaze and extremely stupid to vote for someone as corrupt as Paxton. Except for his girlfriends, adult children, and himself, Paxton should receive NO votes

More to the point how is it he keeps getting elected in Texas - I am baffled by the shit candidates that get elected- show up somewhere for a regular job and I’m sure he’d get passed over

And Presidential material... Love him ❣️ Come on Texas.. do the Right thing... 30 years of Republicans, Is that what I heard??? Time for Better things to come 🫶

Don't you know? When these people own that many homes they "earned it by hard work" and any body without "is just too lazy and wants entitlement hand outs."

The Republicans have cheated on elections in Texas for years. Just drive around the empty spaces of the alleged “red rural Texas.” It is empty, yet they sure find lots of votes. Paxton has been promised a win by the same scheme that beat Beto.

🚨 In just a few days his ‘Love Thy Neighbor’ grocery drive has brought together thousands of Texans. James Talarico is proud to announce that his campaign has collected over 20,000 pounds of groceries for working Texas. 🔹Talarico organizes MASSIVE grocery drive for Texans. @jamestalarico.bsky.social

Ken Paxton is and always has been THE slimiest, most corrupt, lying bastard AG in the entire country. Only Texas would tolerate him and keep him in office.

Paxton said he’d debate Talarico. Now, his campaign has gone silent. Paxton talked for weeks about a debate, but he has not responded to messages since Aug. 24. Coward... you decide!

Fifteen homes?!! Now that’s just greedy af! What’s he doing, living in one a month with 2 homes left over? Paxton is just the kind of guy Texans need representing them in Washington He may not be “‘efete”’but he sure is elite Most of us Texans can live in one house at a time and afford only one
