Gonzalez Hides as James Talarico Faces Creepy Teacher Backlash

April 27, 2026

Democrat Senate nominee James Talarico is facing backlash over resurfaced social media posts and behavior that many Texans find deeply inappropriate for someone entrusted as a teacher and role model. It’s another embarrassing reminder of how far Texas Democrats have fallen. But instead of speaking out, out of touch Vicente Gonzalez is doing what he does best: staying silent and hoping nobody notices.

Texans deserve leaders with convictions, not career politicians who go mute whenever their party implodes.

“Out of touch Vicente Gonzalez always finds his voice when it helps his political survival, but when Texas Democrats embarrass themselves, attack common sense, or insult voters, he suddenly disappears. Gonzalez’s silence says everything: he’s more loyal to the radical party machine than the people he claims to represent.” – NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez
