Rep. Jolanda Jones Says James Talarico Must Pay for the Black vote
Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico is facing harsh criticism by ‘leaders’ in the black community after he defeated Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett in the Democratic Primary back in March.
The black community hasn’t forgotten, or forgiven, Talarico for the sin of defeating their candidate. Recently, at a Talarico rally in Houston, a black woman claiming to represent the her community really put Talarico through the wringer:
An angry woman screamed at Talarico that he would “suffer the consequences” for not engaging the black community.
Editor’s note: Current Revolt reached out to the hostile woman in the video. She claimed we would use “ragebait language” calling her “hostile and angry” and told us not to message her again. We have obliged.
Talarico’s own Texas House colleague, Jolanda Jones, even said multiple times on video that Talarico would lose his election if he failed to secure the black vote.
Jones was voted off the island on Survivor back in 2005 and has been forming alliances ever since.
What would Talarico need to do to get the black vote?
In a recorded interview with Jones, Talarico needs to give black people money in order to win.
