Democratic U.S. Senate nominee James Talarico is aiming to win over Texas voters by campaigning with anti-white Texas State Rep. Gene Wu, who encouraged minorities to “take over this country.”
Talarico appeared alongside Wu on a Tuesday campaign stop in Houston, Texas, saying, “Asian Americans need a fighter in the Senate.” While Wu urged the Democratic Senate hopeful to embrace his particular ethnicity, he has not always treated white Americans with the same sensitivity.
“Gene Wu and James Talarico are two peas in a pod, bashing white people to fuel their woke agenda,” Republican National Committee spokesman Zach Kraft told the Daily Caller. “The embrace of blatant racism is disgusting, and Talarico needs to apologize for smearing hardworking Texans.” (RELATED: Texas Democrat Who Said Non-Whites Should ‘Take Over This Country’ Facing Widespread Backlash)
During a 2024 podcast episode of “Define American with Jose Antonio Vargas, Wu criticized whites as the source of “oppression” in America, saying non-whites should replace their “oppressors.”
“It’s not just Latinos. It’s not just Asians. It’s not just African Americans. It’s everybody. It’s everywhere,” Wu said. “Our country, and the powers that be, have spent tremendous time, effort, and money making sure those groups are never united, that they always see each other as enemies or competitors, without ever realizing that they share one thing in common: their oppressors are all the same.”
“The oppression comes from one place,” Wu added. “I always tell people the day the Latino, African American, Asian, and other communities realize that they share the same oppressor is the day we start winning. Because we are the majority in this country now. We have the ability to take over this country and do what is needed for everyone and to make things fair.”
Talarico himself has an anti-white track record, likening whiteness to a contagion that spreads racism. (RELATED: After Being Asked About ‘God’s Sausage,’ James Talarico Says Christians Don’t Care About God’s Gender)
“White skin gives me and every white American immunity from the virus,” Talarico wrote in a 2020 post. “But we spread it wherever we go—through our words, our actions, and our systems. We don’t have to be showing symptoms—like a white hood or a Confederate flag—to be contagious.”
