Stephen Miller made an anti-trans post about James Talarico. The DNC response hit its mark

Stephen Miller posted on X that Texas Senate candidate James Talarico was a transgender candidate. Talarico is cisgender and heterosexual and won a Democratic Senate primary in March. The claim followed the DNC promoting Talarico on its official X account after Texas Republican voters nominated Attorney General Ken Paxton over incumbent Sen. John Cornyn. President Donald Trump endorsed Paxton. The DNC replied directly to Miller with a profanity-laden message. Talarico has not directly responded to the false claim but has defended his positions, including remarks about God being “nonbinary,” which he described as intentionally provocative and tied to the idea that God cannot be defined by human categories. He also said there are two sexes and that people with chromosomal abnormalities deserve dignity and respect.

"“The Democrats made history in Texas by nominating their first transgender senate candidate,” Miller posted on X. Talarico, who won a Democratic primary for Senate in March, is cisgender and heterosexual. He has drawn attention for his outspoken allyship and advocacy for LGBTQ+ equality, something Republicans have pounced on as the Democrat poses the first serious threat in years to flip Texas blue."

"The DNC, from its official account, posted a blunt reply to Miller, writing, “shut up you ugly fuck.” Talarico has not directly responded, but he has stood by his positions even as Republicans take issue with various speeches, including one where he said God was “nonbinary.” He told CBS News the remarks were “intentionally provocative” but that “God can't be defined by human categories.”"

"“I know there are two sexes, men and women,” Talarico told the news outlet. “I also know there's a very small percentage of people who have these chromosomal abnormalities, and I believe they deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.” He has addressed a number of bizarre attacks seemingly aimed at painting him as liberal and soft. For example, Republican National Committee Chair Joe Gruters on Tuesday repeated one lie about Talarico and attacked several of the Democrats' pro-LGBTQ+ positions."
