Talarico Described Capitalism as ‘Oppressive System’
CNN resurfaced a 2020 clip of James Talarico linking capitalism, white supremacy and climate change as he faces Republican attacks in Texas.
- On Tuesday, CNN reported that Texas Democrat U.S. Senate nominee James Talarico described capitalism as an 'oppressive system' during a September 2020 climate forum, calling for 'dismantling' it alongside white supremacy and climate change.
- Talarico, then a 31-year-old state representative, made the remarks during a virtual meeting with the Austin Sierra Club, which resurfaced as his Republican opponent Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton launched a major ad campaign.
- During the 2020 forum, Talarico compared the Texas oil industry to 'being the leader in cassette tapes in the 1980s,' suggesting it 'is not gonna last' and linking climate change to racism and capitalism.
- Campaign spokesperson JT Ennis told CNN that Talarico acknowledged some past comments 'missed the mark,' while Paxton's campaign deployed $15 million in ads across 18 Texas markets attacking the Democrat's record.
- Polls show the candidates in a dead heat, with prediction market Kalshi listing each with a near 50% chance of winning, while Paxton has won three statewide elections—a feat no Texas Democrat has achieved in 32 years.
