Looks like the process of mending
broken fences in the Democratic
Party is going to need some more
time.
Exhibit A, Congresswoman Jasmine
Crockett throwing out the R word
squarely at her primary opponent's
campaign.
People keep trying to say, well,
Jasmine has to go and
hold his hand.
No, I don't.
You see a lot of haters got a lot
of things to say about me and
my race and how I ran it.
But the reality is that there was
a lot of races, not a lot.
It was racist.
It was a racist race.
It is what it is.
Meantime, Teller Rico hammering
away at Republican Ken Paxton's
weak spots as in his decision to
allow an admitted child rapist to
skate with a misdemeanor plea and
less than a month of jail time.
Adam Hoffman was a well connected
lawyer who abused an eight year
old boy.
He should be spending his life in
prison.
But instead, Ken Paxton gave him
a sweetheart deal, letting him
out of jail after just 29 days.
Panel while team Teller Rico is
focused on their opponent.
They have to be worried about
Crockett giving their guy the
Heisman stiff arm.
I mean, they're going to need all
those African American votes if
they're going to prevail in
the fall tomorrow.
Absolutely.
And I will be very honest with
you all I have reached out to
some elected leadership who
has engaged him and I asked them
what is he doing?
He had a representative come down
and meet with a bunch of
Democrats, precinct chairs.
And when they asked him about,
are y'all going to be doing any
work or hiring down here?
He said, no, we're looking for
volunteers and they asked him,
is your ass a volunteer?
Well, then he left the room.
Then when he went to the Harris
County Black Area Democrats,
same guy, didn't do anything to
say, anything, they decided not to
endorse him.
Now, do I think he needs
Jasmine Crockett herself?
No, I'm not going to say that at
all, but he absolutely has to do
a better thing because Beto O'Rourke
came to this Black Pastors event.
And I remember speaking to his
assistant and I was like, okay, so
how are you all going to do?
We're not putting any money in
the black communities.
You're a fool if you do that.
They're going to vote anyway.
I said, his ass is going to lose.
Okay, because I know what Obama
did in the black communities,
in places where they had very low
voter turnout to help get
the people.
I said, I know what Republican
people do.
Come on now.
You didn't do that to him.
I'm just saying, no, no, no,
don't do me now, okay?
All right, Tallarico,
Tallarico, is this going to be
transactional?
Is Crockett just waiting for
to make a deal?
I mean, I'm cynical about
the process.
I don't know what's going on with
the Jasmine Crockett's team and
why she's doing this.
When you lose a race and
you have to turn around then and
do the right thing.
And I would hope that if
Tallarico had lost,
he would have immediately
supported Jasmine Crockett.
What Jasmine Crockett is doing is
burning down the house because
she lost is not helping the party
that she claims she supports.
And it's a mistake on her part to
be this upset about losing a race.
And I think it's a mistake on
Tallarico's part for
not sitting down with her directly
and saying let's mend this fence.
Paul, could the same be said for
John Cornyn not jumping on board
with Ken Paxton?
I mean- That's a good one.
I mean, he keeps quoting Bible
verses and stuff, so
he's been an interesting other
side of the election piece.
The thing I heard recently from
a friend who's pretty plugged in
in DFW on Tallarico is the same
complaints are being held there.
Which is the Tallarico team and
much less Tallarico himself,
they're not sitting down and
listening to the black community.
And what they're doing is they've
placed their bets that whites,
independent whites and Hispanics
are going to make up the
difference.
I think that is absolutely stupid
and tactically wrong.
All right, we'll be watching it.
Up next, rules for thee, but
not for me.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton
under fire for possible voter
fraud.
