Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico has been living rent-free in the heads of Ken Paxton, Jesse Watters, and Steven Miller since the Republican primary runoff. The attacks: that his girlfriend is fake, that he's transgender, gay, a soy boy, a vegan. The reality: his girlfriend is very real, very present, and the whole narrative has collapsed.
Hawk pulls apart the hypocrisy of MAGA men who spend enormous mental energy fixated on Talarico's gender and sexuality while their own track records tell a very different story. Jesse Watters' well-documented history with his former employee-turned-wife gets a full airing. The projection runs deep.
Ken Paxton, a man indicted multiple times whose own staff reported him to the FBI, can't run against Talarico on policy or substance, so the attacks go straight to LGBTQ fearmongering. Hawk argues this is textbook projection from men who are, in his words, one gigantically closeted mess.
