Talarico Campaigns With Haynes, Who Called ICE the 'New KKK' in Texas Race
1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Nov 2
Summary
James Talarico shared a get-out-the-vote event with Democratic House candidate Frederick Haynes III, praising him from the stage as "your next congressman" during Talarico's Clear Eyes Full Hearts tour.
Haynes used the event to attack President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement, saying ICE had become the "new KKK" and calling to "abolish ICE."
The appearance puts pressure on Talarico's pitch as a moderate Democrat who can win in Republican-leaning Texas, especially as Republicans already highlight his past positions on race and gender as too progressive.
Haynes, a Dallas megachurch pastor running for the open 30th District seat, has also backed reparations and framed conservative politics through race, while Talarico has likewise voiced support for reparations.
Talarico's campaign did not say whether his remarks amounted to an endorsement of Haynes or of Haynes' broader views, leaving the joint appearance as a fresh flashpoint late in the Senate race.
