The Democratic Party spent months telling America that James Talarico was their secret weapon to flip Texas.
Then Stephen Miller got on Fox News.
And what Miller said about Talarico on Jesse Watters Primetime is the kind of thing that gets clipped and forwarded to every group chat in the Lone Star State.
Miller Drops the Soy Milk Line Heard Round Texas
Miller did not hold back.
"When Talarico goes in for a blood test," Miller told Jesse Watters, "blood doesn't come out – instead, soy milk comes out."
He kept going.
"This man has less testosterone than Jasmine Crockett."
Miller called Talarico the Democrats' "first transgender Senate candidate" – a line that detonated across social media before the segment even ended.
He finished with the kill shot: "I have a hard time believing the people of Texas – the pioneer heritage, the frontier history, from the Mexican-American War through the Alamo – are going to choose somebody with that much soy to be a U.S. Senator compared to a real conservative, patriotic, God-fearing figure in Ken Paxton."
The audience went wild.
The DNC apparently did not take it well.
Their official party account fired back at Miller with a profanity-laced response that the party's own strategists are quietly describing as a catastrophic unforced error – the kind of thing that confirms every suspicion Texas voters already had about who these people actually are.
Why Talarico Is a Gift to Republicans
Democrats convinced themselves Talarico was different.
He's a seminary student.
He talks about Jesus.
He beat Jasmine Crockett in the primary, which they spun as proof the party was moderating.
The problem is the receipts.
In 2021, Talarico stood on the Texas House floor and announced that "God is nonbinary" and that "modern science obviously recognizes there are many more than two biological sexes – in fact, there are six."
This past week, confronted on camera, Talarico admitted those comments "missed the mark" and that some of what he said was "cringey."
That is not a good answer.
That is a Democrat who knows his own record disqualifies him in Texas and is sprinting away from it six months before voters decide.
Republicans have been running ads using Talarico's own words in his own voice since March.
The NRSC called him "the most radical, woke Democrat Texas voters have ever seen."
The RNC chair said Texas "won't break a 32-year streak for a woke freak like James Talarico."
Ken Paxton, who will face Talarico in November, was more direct – calling him "the most extreme radical the Democrats have ever nominated."

Talarico Admitted It Himself and That Is the Whole Story
This week, on camera, James Talarico told a CBS reporter that some of his past statements "missed the mark" and that he'd made comments that were "cringey."
That is a Senate candidate calling his own record an embarrassment six months before Election Day.
Think about what that actually means.
This man spent years building a brand around being the brave Christian progressive who says what everyone else is afraid to say – God is nonbinary, there are six biological sexes, white men are the greatest domestic terror threat.
He posted it.
He said it from the Texas House floor.
He let it define him.
And the moment it became a liability he walked into a CBS studio and told Texas voters to ignore what they heard with their own ears.
Miller didn't destroy Talarico's campaign on Jesse Watters Primetime.
Talarico destroyed it in 2021 – Miller just turned the lights on.
The DNC dropping an F-bomb at Miller on their official party account didn't help.
Texas hasn't sent a Democrat to the Senate in 38 years.
James Talarico just spent the last week reminding every voter in the state exactly why.
