Trump is already lying about Talarico

Trump is already lying about Talarico
What a surprise.

He says he is vegan.
He says he attacks Jesus Christ.

Of which, none is true.
When will the press call him on his lies.

and he is very religious. He has a master's in divinity from the Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary. Baptist and Presbyterian roots while Trump can't even hold a bible right side up.

For anyone who wants some background - this is a great article from Politico from 3 years. James was elected to the Texas House of Representatives in 2018.

https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/06/16/james-talarico-texas-democrats-00101231

An excerpt from the article - this is who he is:

He looked squarely at the bill’s sponsor, state Rep. Candy Noble, whom he acknowledged as a fellow “devout Christian,” before letting loose a two-minute and nine-second exchange that would go viral on TikTok and Twitter, racking up more than 1 million views on Twitter alone.

“This bill to me is not only unconstitutional, it’s not only un-American, I think it is also deeply un-Christian,” he told her, as she stood motionless. “And I say that because I believe this bill is idolatrous. I believe it is exclusionary. And I believe that it is arrogant, and those three things, in my reading of the Gospel, are diametrically opposed to the teachings of Jesus.” He cited Matthew 6:5, in which Jesus urges his disciples to not pray publicly like the hypocrites.

Also, Talarico talks about the actual teachings of Jesus from the Bible. Trump supporting "Christians" advocate for every single thing that is the complete opposite of Jesus teachings.

No exceptions, he no longer knows the truth from a lie.
