The Democratic candidate trying to keep the party’s hopes alive of flipping one of the two U.S. Senate seats in Texas is doing his pandering best.
In a recent interview on “The Breakfast Club” radio show, Talarico was asked about the controversial guilty verdict against Karmelo Anthony, the black high schooler who stabbed and killed Austin Metcalf, a white student-athlete, in Texas. A clip of his response went viral this week, thanks to a tweet from Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas).
‘I know that there were no black members of the jury. And to me, that’s the only evidence you need to really prove that the system is not working for black Texans.’
The jury found there was enough evidence to convict Anthony of murder, and he was sentenced to 35 years in prison.
The case has become a national flashpoint, especially regarding anti-white racism. In discussing the Anthony case, Talarico pounced into the deep end of the woke pool.
“I’ve done a lot of work in the statehouse on justice reform, and right now we got a system that doesn’t serve all Americans equally. And we know that black Texans have not gotten the justice they deserve in many cases,” he said on the show.
“I’m not an expert on this particular case, but I know that there were no black members of the jury,” he added. “And to me, that’s the only evidence you need to really prove that the system is not working for black Texans.”
In the clip, Talarico appears to have been expounding on his decision to nod along as a white-hating radical at a town hall meeting claimed that “Karmelo Anthony’s case is just a f**king tragedy.”
“The Breakfast Club” is a New York City-based radio show very popular with members of the black community. The episode featuring Talarico was released August 5.

Talarico had previously signaled his support for the anti-white sentiment in the racial debate over the Karmelo Anthony murder case.
A recent poll found Talarico’s race against Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to be in a dead heat, with only 5% of voters undecided. The victor could determine which party controls the U.S. Senate after the midterms.
