Ever since he secured the Democratic nomination for senator in Texas, state Rep. James Talarico has become a darling of the NeverTrump RINO class and progressive Christians for one reason and one reason alone: his self-declared faith.

Talarico’srainbow-huedpassive-aggressive Christianity is the kind of performative act that pretty much every legit person of faith can see through, but it’s the sort of stuff that makes leftists googly-eyed. Not only does it provide a path to victory in a traditionally red state, in their eyes, but it gives the left — in their eyes — a plausible claim to biblical morality.

Even NeverTrumpers are getting into it, like self-declared conservative and Christian David French over atThe New York Times: “If the primary American divide is between right and left then Talarico isn’t that interesting,” he wrote in a preposterous Saturday piece in which he called Talarico “a Christian X-ray” while praising him.

“There’s a long history of progressive religious activism in the United States just as there is a long history of conservative religious activism. … Yet if the primary American divide is between decent and indecent, then the equation changes. Talarico shines,” French wrote.

Which is a funny line to use, because somewhere along the way to the Democratic nomination, we forgot that Talarico has the very un-Christian habit of following loose women on social media.

FromAxios, November of 2025, in case you missed it:

Talarico follows 10 Instagram accounts of women who are popular porn actors, OnlyFans models, and have accounts on escort sites, according to publicly available accounts viewed by Axios in recent weeks.

Earlier this year, he “liked” separate photos of an Austin-based Instagram account holder who also has an OnlyFans account and a page on EscortBook.com — a site that claims to be the “#1 content management system in the escort industry!” …

Talarico also follows Instagram accounts of adult film actors such as @honky_tonkangel, who has nearly 250,000 followers and goes by the name Giselle Palmer.

Some accounts with matching usernames of the Instagram accounts he follows appear on sites such as datingpornstar.com and escortstate.com, while several have adult content on OnlyFans. All of those accounts include provocative pictures and some link to their other sites with explicit content, but don’t identify their holders as adult film performers.
