James Talarico, the Democratic candidate for Senate in Texas, accused his rival Ken Paxton of “ignoring” survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse, as Democrats seek to increase pressure on Republicans ahead of November’s midterm elections.

Speaking in Dallas, where Republicans are holding a midterm convention this week, Talarico appeared alongside one of Epstein’s victims at an exhibit that featured about 3.5m pages of Department of Justice’s files related to Epstein.

“When did pedophilia become a partisan issue? When did holding sexual abusers accountable become controversial?” Talarico said.

    He is getting desperate. If he loses Congress he’s fucked as they start looking into all his shit and that means everything from the tariffs, Epstein Files, his family’s dealings, war in Iran and so on. Even if the Democrats don’t get enough power to get majorities they can still get enough power to shine a light on all his dirty diapers. And honestly I think there is so much they did we have no idea off.

    I personally am very excited to finally get rid of Mike Johnson, the man that’s third in line to be President but who has no idea of anything happening. Hope he sleeps well under the rock he calls a house.
