Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico is leaning into the interesting nicknames that his Republican opponent, Ken Paxton, has thrown his way. His response was to take the jabs and turn them into a brand. Talarico is now selling T-shirts that read, “I’m a Talafreako,” a moniker that Paxton first coined to attack the Democrat during his campaign.
According to Fox News, Talarico encouraged his supporters to grab the new merchandise during a general election kickoff event in Houston this week. He told the crowd, “I also saw that Ken Paxton started calling me ‘Talafreako,’ and I am proud to announce that we have ‘I’m a Talafreako’ T-shirts on our website. So, when you go home tonight, make sure you grab one.”
