Trump Nemesis Reveals Deranged Insult Has Brilliantly Backfired

YouTube/Jimmy Kimmel Live Rising Democratic star James Talarico has revealed that one of Donald Trump’s insults has actually worked in his favor.

The Texas Senate candidate presents a threat to Donald Trump as he runs against his controversial, scandal-strewn pick, Ken Paxton, who is the state’s attorney general.

The 80-year-old president’s favorite line of attack is his made-up nickname “Talafreako.” In several interviews , Trump has called Talarico “freaky,” and on Truth Social, he has repeatedly posted exaggerated, AI-generated images of Talarico captioned with the nickname.

“I call him Talafreako because he’s a freaky guy,” the president told Fox News.

The T-shirts read “ I’m a Talafreako ” and cost $36.

Talarico is leading the race against Paxton in the traditionally red state.

According to an AARP poll , 48 percent of Texas voters support Talarico, while 44 percent are backing Paxton.

The Democratic candidate appeared on Kimmel on Thursday night, but the interview did not air live.

Kimmel released their conversation on the internet instead, citing pressure from the FCC and its Trump goon chairman Brendan Carr.

Kimmel said that the FCC “has threatened me, threatened our show, threatened our network, ABC, our affiliates, our local stations, based on simple, traditional, editorial decisions, guest bookings it would seem they don’t like.” “They’re very nervous about the midterms, and rightly so...
