Things are already getting as spicy as a habañero between State Rep. James Talarico, Texas’ Democratic U.S. Senate nominee, and national figures in the Republican party.
And national Democrats are rushing to their candidate’s aid armed with a bushelful of expletives.
Following Tuesday’s punishing Republican primary runoff to determine Talarico’s opponent in November’s general election, top Trump advisor Stephen Miller took off the gloves and delivered a cheap shot.
“The Democrats made history in Texas by nominating their first transgender senate candidate,” the architect of the White House’s virulent immigration policies said in a tweet.
In response, the Democratic Party’s official social media accounts fired back a blistering — and similarly lowbrow — five-word response: “shut up you ugly fuck.”
No asterisks, no self-censorship. Full on F-bomb.
Forgive us, Democrats, we were unfamiliar with your game.
After years of rolling over and playing dead, the Dems’ response was more than a little surprising. It’s worth noting that fiery clapbacks on X and bold policy are two totally different things, so take it for what it is: some social media manager feeling froggy.
But a Democratic Party that seems a little less uptight is probably heading in the right direction.
Still, buckle up as Talarico faces off against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in November’s general election. It can only get way bloodier.
Also, Stephen Miller is an ugly fuck.
