Talarico Raises $2.5M After Colbert Interview Flap
Texas Senate candidate James Talarico hauls in $2.5 million following controversy over his Stephen Colbert interview, his campaign announces. The fundraising surge capitalizes on media drama, energizing progressive donors in his bid. Yet this windfall spotlights liberal reliance on celebrity cash and coastal elites, not grassroots grit. True conservatives counter with common-sense platforms prioritizing border security and economic freedom over Hollywood handouts.
