President Trump Calls Out Senate Candidate James Talarico And Gives Him A Hilarious Nickname

Not many political candidates have survived after President Trump gave them a nickname.

Just look at “Crooked Hillary” or “Low Energy Jeb”.

Now President Trump has given a nickname to U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico of Texas.

On Wednesday, President Trump congratulated Texas AG Ken Paxton on his Senate Republican primary run-off win but, in his congratulation post, he also called out Talarico who he nicknamed Alfred E. Neuman the character from MAD Magazine.

Read Trump’s post on Truth Social below:

Congratulations to Ken Paxton on such a tremendous win, and to John Cornyn for having run a strong and powerful race but, more importantly, having had a truly great career. John will remain my friend for a long time to come, as we both watch Ken become a fantastic, common sense Senator, one who is respected by all.

His opponent, Alfred E. Neuman, may be the worst TEXAS candidate I have ever seen. A strong Open Borders advocate, he is WEAK ON CRIME, believes there are 6 genders, is insulting to Jesus Christ, will never support the Military, was a big Mask Wearer until recently, and is a Vegan who dislikes meat, not exactly a good way to be if you’re wanting to win an Election in Texas. Jasmine Crockett, a very low IQ individual, who is no relation to the legendary frontiersman, Davy Crockett, would have been a far better choice for the Dumocrats.

I will do some nice, big, beautiful rallies for Ken. Texas, this will be FUN! GOD BLESS AMERICA. President DJT

Trump later posted a photo of Talarico besides Alfred E. Nueman:

Fox 7 Austin reported shortly after Paxton won his Republican primary run-off, Talarico released a video calling Paxton a “corrupt politician”:

Shortly after Texas AG Ken Paxton was announced as the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, his Democratic opponent, state Rep. James Talarico, released a video in opposition to the nomination.

Talarico used the moment to decry Paxton as “the most corrupt politician in America.”

“Something just happened in Texas,” Talarico began the video. “The most corrupt politician in America just became the Republican nominee for the United States Senate.”

The Austin Democrat then called back to Paxton’s impeachment trial, when the attorney general was exonerated by the state Senate after being condemned by the House. Talarico, reflecting the House’s opinion at the time, went on to accuse Paxton of using his office to “enrich himself.”

“That kind of corruption is the rot at the core of this broken system,” Talarico continued. “It’s why we can’t afford anything. It’s why we can’t get ahead no matter how hard we work.”

.@JamesTalarico: Ken Paxton is morally unfit for office.

He’ll lie to you with a straight face. He’s failed the character test. He’s the most corrupt Attorney General of our lifetime, and he puts the interests of himself over the laws of Texas.

Those aren’t my words. Those… pic.twitter.com/dj8D9kdeNA

Talarico has a lot of explaining to do to the people of Texas after making statements like this:

Wild statement from weirdo James Talarico:

"The American flag is such a complicated symbol for most of us. And in many ways, like Jesus, like the cross, it's been co-opted, and in some ways, its true meaning has been betrayed." pic.twitter.com/ThSVqlhr5i
