Democrat James Talarico, the nominee in a close Texas Senate race against Republican Ken Paxton, took questions from voters at a town hall hosted by CNN and Jubilee on Wednesday, sitting face to face with them. Voters asked about abortion, immigration and the SAVE America Act. Talarico said his remark that God is nonbinary was an attempt at being provocative, and said he backs what he called Fair Voter ID. CNN commentator Scott Jennings said Talarico misrepresented his position on the SAVE America Act, which Jennings said Talarico had opposed. Steven Crowder threatened legal action, saying the town hall used his registered trademark “CHANGE MY MIND”.

What is contested

Where accounts differ

Points the coverage does not agree on, and who says what.

  • Talarico misrepresented his position on the SAVE America Act at the town hall.

    Scott Jennings and the Daily Wire say he misrepresented it, citing his past opposition to the act. Talarico said he did not know enough about it to speak intelligently on it and backed what he called Fair Voter ID.

  • Talarico is a ‘border security Democrat’ whose record supports that description.

    Talarico said he is a ‘border security Democrat’ who rejects extremism on immigration. The Daily Signal says his votes on House Bill 888 and a 2021 border security bill contradict that description.

  • Talarico’s remark that God is nonbinary was a considered statement.

    Talarico said the remark was an attempt at being provocative. Just the News describes it as a walk-back of the remark.

Every side reports that Talarico faced voters’ questions at the CNN and Jubilee town hall, and that some of his remarks drew attention.
