Isn’t Paxton the pedophile?

NPR i guess is pro pardons for pedophiles. are you going to defend epstein next? bsky.app/profile/mtsw...

weird to write a headline about the guy who helped a self-admitted child rapist walk free without mentioning that paxton pardoned a serial child rapist? dont you think that deserves a headline or do you not care about the fact that paxton proudly helps pedophiles?

Ha, pedo protectors are deciding what’s manhood now?

Paxton has a point, he, himself never needed high testosterone for any 8 year old that didn't know any different. Or ever seen a GOmicroPenis before.

Soon after Paxton won the Trxas Republican Senate primary runoff, his opponent, the Democratic nominee James Talarico, began pointing out how corrupt Paxton and Republicans are. It's not that hard, NPR. They already cut your funding so why carry water for these corrupt people?

What the hell is wrong with you people? Trump already cut off your funding, you don't have to fluff his corrupt and flagrantly criminal candidate.

What is a man is a great argument to have. Trump shifted American culture to celebrate the pedophile and the thug over the virtuous. Attacks on woke are attacks on liberal values classed as unmanly. This even embarrassed centrist Democrats But @jamestalarico.bsky.social is our rat catcher lol

“YOU AINT A MAN UNLESS YER PARDONING PEDOPHILES!!” - The Texas GOP, literally

You all are so weird, manhood? That’s what you think? You’re such dorks!

What the fuck is this? NPR you are pathetic

dafuck is this?

You guys know that you can decide what stories to bring and what angles to highlight, right?

Like I truly believe we need a free press but holy fuck do you all make it nigh impossible to empathize with when you pull stuff like this Y’all are worried about style guides and keeping your interview sources open while they’re working on throwing your entire profession into the wood chipper

There's literally nothing about Paxton that indicates he can do this.

I'm sorry, what? Is Andrew Tate determining your editorial direction? Why are you framing this in line with toxic manosphere bullshit instead of exposing how that's all Republicans have to fall back on?

I don’t know, though. Talarico’s anecdote about his dad mowing an elderly neighbor lady’s yard for her seems like a better definition of manhood, if we’re intent on using it as a central issue, than speculation on testosterone levels.

Front and center? Are you guys OK?

Hey, NPR, let's make the next article be, "Do Republicans have a pedophile problem?" You don't always have to frame things the way the GOP wants.

If I had to guess, $$$$$

‘Putting manliness front and center’? Do you have any editors left? Fire them, NPR. This framing, of RW talking points, is utter BS. Shameful.

Fuck you

NPR you’re making me reconsider my donations. Honestly, I expected better but am losing faith. Taking Paxton’s reprehensible notion as a valid concept that warrants examination is absurd and uninformed.

Shame on you.

Doesn’t Paxton mean go low C …for crook? And if Texas votes Paxton in over Telerico they are happy to have Paxton to steal their money and vote against anything that would make their daily lives better.

i dont know what happened to npr but this is based and embarassing

Republican sez “this is important.” NPR sez that this is now the biggest issue on the planet. Fuck off

TY!!!

When NPR gets dumb, it gets really dumb.

So you repeat GOP claims that Talarico is queer, but you don’t report on the overriding vibe of the entire GOP of openly thirsting for Trump’s rancid microdick?

The Failing NPR loves cucking themselves for trump

Paxton: *gives sweetheart deal to his pedophile buddy* Legacy Media: “How manly!!” *swoons*

CC: @titonka.bsky.social

GOP views of 'masculinity' as cruelty, violence, dominance, appearances, etc are immature & childish. Adults protect others, don't waste resources, have perspective, are kind to kids & animals, ignore slights, & accept differences without fear. Men don't need steroids, they need to GROW UP. 2/2

Kindly, shut the fuck up about "manhood" in a political race. I beg of you.

Ken Paxton, paragon of manhood

NPR sanewashing the right wing in the headline today, complaining about how the politically motivated right wing funding cuts result in layoffs tomorrow...

I scratched my nuts today NPR, report on that

You’ve made a choice with this framing, and it fucking sucks.

Well, it didn't take long for NPR to get down in the gutter.

Paxton is pandering to the ignorant base

There’s only one right way to report on this, and this ain’t it. Gross, NPR. Do way better.

@npr.org Have you written a similar story about Talarico attacking Paxton for granting an extremely early release to a convicted child-rapist, putting Paxton's "soft on child rape" views front and center in the race? If not, why not? Why are you deliberately prefer a particular candidate's framing?

Are you really fucking doing this? This is straight-up adopting Republican framing of this race; Paxton’s campaign could have written this for you. Your political coverage is a fucking disgrace. Never again wonder why I stopped giving you money after decades of loyal membership.

There’s no way anyone who would write the words” putting manhood front and center in the race” should ever have any job where other people are exposed to his/her fucking moronic thoughts. 🤝

Oh. They will go lower.

Curious that Republicans think that “What is a woman?” is some kind of gotcha but keep a long list of all the things one has to do to be a “man.”

Pathetic. Do better

really disappointing and shitty framing, NPR. seriously, you dont have to parrot vile GOP framing.

Maybe you should emphasize that Paxton exonerated a convicted child rapist. Maybe that should be front and center.

How far NPR has capitulated and fallen. This fascist admin defunded you and you still carry water for them. You won't get another dime from me til you call a spade a spade. Paxton and Trump are fascist felons ushering the fall of American democracy. Do better ffs.

The theme in this race is “What it means to pardon pedophiles.”

Paxton is a serial criminal who just pardoned a known pedophile. How's that for manhood, NPR?

Adam Hoffman manhood? That's the child rapist Paxton set free.

I believe it’s telling that NPR chooses to commit more resources and visibility to Paxton’s insults towards Talarico instead of Paxton’s affair, his corruption, and the possibility that he made a deal with a pedophile to get him less jail time.

You’re helping him

"Low-energy, waning, scandal-ridden man-child lobs High School insults at person who may handily defeat him." Not exactly a Headline; we kinda expected this. 🤷‍♂️

Putting manhood? Come on- do better NPR

Hey did Ken Paxton also let a child rapist walk? Is that something y’all cover or are we just amplifying dumb manosphere takes?

Lol Ken is not one to talk.

You could have ignored it. Now you are putting it front and center, instead of how corrupt Paxton is for example

Lick that boot! Swallow and regurgitate GOP talking points.

“Manhood”!? Are you kidding me?

really making the case that you deserve to be defunded

What a terrible take. Paxton is unfit for the office because he’s less mature than a high schooler, and his only argument is to rely on slurs and lies.

Supporting or committing rape, especially thevrape of children, seems to the Republican definition of manly.

Ridiculous. Their idea of sufficient manhood is a corrupt, immoral lout.

bsky.app/profile/elli...

Paxton is a pussy ass bitch

WTF? Are you gonna measure each candidates T levels? Or you just parroting GOP bullshit?

@titonka.bsky.social

So, you prefer Paxton the pedo protector?

And they surely thank you for helping them, NPR

Childish and cowardly

It's not a theme but a desperate attack.

WTF, NPR? You won’t see a dime from me. Go ask the *manhood folks.

Maybe consider making Paxton's corruption front and center instead of allowing Paxton to dictate what you write.

Seconding this. Mr. Talarico seems to be on-point in raising this concern in particular.

No it isn’t. Why are you promoting propaganda?

I get that you’re scared of Trump, his administration, and #PedoPleaDeal Paxton, but if you you’re so scared that you can’t do a bare minimum of journalism, you should do the honorable thing and quit. Accepting an impeached criminal adulterer’s finger-sniffing nickname for his opponent is a choice.

No. The economy and fascism is front and center no matter how Paxton is able to manipulate your journalists.

Meanwhile, as usual, men say that what makes a man a real man is taking care of his family. Paxton cheated on his wife twice. So who is the real man in this race? Talarico shouldn't take the bait. paidleaveforall.org/new-nationwi...

Creepy

They're not putting it front and center without your help.

Like, seriously? myferretsatepepethefrog.blogspot.com/2026/05/amer...

Jesus, really? myferretsatepepethefrog.blogspot.com/2026/05/miss...

Instead of engaging childish taunts will you please focus on candidates’ records?

Hard for a race between two men to turn on manhood unless you’re adopting one side’s premise

Talarico should just challenge him to a fist fight at the debate.

“By manhood, we are referring to Paxton’s micro-penis.”

Ken Paxton appreciates the free advertising. Have they learned nothing in the last 10 years? Are you really that stupid, NPR? Paxton said a thing, NPR, like a puppet, reports it.

I challenge the manhood of that one-eyed church bigot running for senate in TX.

Ok, so @npr.org apparently doesn't know what manhood is if they think that's what happened.

C'mon. Do better as a news organization.

neither paxton nor npr has standing

NPR, you truly are unable to meet these precarious times.

Considering Talarico is younger and much fitter this is a funny line of attack for the old fat-ass Paxton.

🤔 Irony should be front & center.

Jesus F. Christ, NPR...can't you just blow Brendon Carr behind a 7-11 to get your funding back? It would be less cringey.

Hey NPR, there is nothing more girlie than a tote bag. You fucking cowards.

Fuck NPR.

As someone born and raised in TEXAS I have a big problem with bullies, really hate frauds and cons, and pedophile protectors belong in prison next to the pedophiles they protect.

At least he is not a cyclist!

@npr.org this is trash. Do better

Why am I continuing to support NPR if you are going to roll in the gutter with Fox News? This is not the journalism that I expect from you guys. I may as well take my money and invest in another outlet dedicated to presenting issues worthy of my time and interest.

You can look it up, solid red states don't even make it in the top 10! (Maybe in a blue moon, but damn!) It's really telling that radical republicans hate how they cannot swindle smarter people(liberals), so they chose to convince everyone else that the "Liberals are the enemy/threat from within."
