‘CRAZIEST thing I ever heard’: Talarico BLASTS GOP conspiracy theories about his absence
Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico is dismissing Republican conspiracy theories about his extended absence from the campaign trail after battling the flu. Talarico returned to public view over the weekend for the first time since sharing his diagnosis at the end of September. His rival — Trump-backed, scandal-plagued Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton — and other Republicans posted fake “missing” posters online, demanding “proof of life” from Talarico’s campaign during his absence. Meanwhile, online conspiracy theorists claimed Talarico suffered a mental health episode and sought treatment in Ohio — rumors amplified by many Republicans and their operatives. The Morning Joe panel discusses the role of conspiracy theories in politics and whether this one could affect Talarico’s chances in the Senate race.
