President Donald Trump compared Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico to MAD Magazine mascot Alfred E. Neuman on Wednesday. Trump also separately vowed to campaign for his Republican challenger, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
Paxton gained Trump's endorsement just one week ago. He recently defeated longtime Republican Senator John Cornyn in Tuesday's runoff election for the Republican nomination.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump congratulated Paxton on his tremendous win. He also praised Cornyn for having run a strong and powerful race and for having a truly great career.
"His opponent, Alfred E. Neuman, may be the worst TEXAS candidate I have ever seen," Trump said about Talarico. Talarico currently serves as a state representative.
"A strong Open Borders advocate, he is WEAK ON CRIME, believes there are 6 genders, is insulting to Jesus Christ, will never support the Military, was a big Mask Wearer until recently, and is a Vegan who dislikes meat, not exactly a good way to be if you’re wanting to win an Election in Texas," Trump claimed.
Trump previously compared Pete Buttigieg to Alfred E. Neuman. This occurred when the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, ran for president in 2019.
"Jasmine Crockett, a very low IQ individual, who is no relation to the legendary frontiersman, Davy Crockett, would have been a far better choice for the Dumocrats," Trump added on Wednesday. "I will do some nice, big, beautiful rallies for Ken. Texas, this will be FUN!"
Talarico topped Crockett in the March primary. Crockett is a vocal Trump critic. Talarico is now trying to become the first Democrat in nearly four decades to win a Senate election in Texas.
Talarico's campaign posted a mugshot of Paxton on social media on Tuesday. The post highlighted Paxton's past legal issues.
"He was indicted on 3 felony counts for investment fraud. He was reported to the FBI by his own staff for bribery. He was impeached by his own party for corruption," the campaign post stated.
"Now he’s the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Texas. Together we will stop him," the Talarico campaign declared.
