No normal person takes two weeks off because of “the flu”.. A few days, at worst a week yeah, but two weeks? I don’t think so. There are all kinds of rumors about creepy Talarico going around, including from Spencer Pratt who says that Talarico has been in a mental health facility for the last two weeks..
Maybe he’s just using the Biden/Kamala strategy of hiding, I don’t claim to know what’s really going on, but this Talarico clown is beyond creepy.
My sources are telling me Talarico is in a mental health facility. His campaign has stopped actively planning events in the vital homestretch of the campaign.
If this is true, this is actually a time to pray for Talarico. We should, of course, savagely mock his smug, awful campaign advisors, by all means…and while yes, of course, this would be disqualifying for Talarico’s aspirations to be a Texas Senator, we must hold empathy for anyone undergoing crisis. Campaigns are brutal, and not everybody is cut out for it. You need very thick skin. As much as I don’t want Talarico anywhere near government, I also don’t want wish him harm, and no political office is worth having a breakdown. His awful advisors are at fault for this. They pushed him to be something he isn’t, and it didn’t work.
I’m praying that this isn’t true, and he’s OK. You want to win these fights on the battlefield of ideas, not the minefield of poor health.
