唐纳德·特朗普总统确信，他在孤星州支持的参议院候选人将轻松击败民主党人詹姆斯·塔拉里科。他称塔拉里科“在德州当素食主义者根本不可能当选”。
塔拉里科是一位知名州议员，今年早些时候赢得得克萨斯州民主党参议院提名后，近期才进入全国视野。他因一系列有争议言论遭到保守派广泛抨击，其中包括声称“上帝是非二元性别的”以及“性别是一个光谱”。
周三上午在登上空军一号前接受记者采访时，特朗普预测，他本周刚背书的得克萨斯州总检察长肯·佩克斯顿将在即将到来的共和党初选中“以大幅优势击败现任联邦参议员约翰·科宁”。
随后他预测佩克斯顿将“继续击败一位极其不合格的候选人——这位候选人信奉六种性别，攻击耶稣基督，而且六个月前还一直戴口罩，任何六个月前还戴口罩的人都没搞清楚状况”。

随后他猛烈抨击塔拉里科：“而且他是个素食主义者，在德州当素食主义者。”
“在德州，你靠素食主义者身份绝对选不上，”特朗普坚称。
特朗普的言论援引了一段2022年被挖出的塔拉里科演讲视频，当时他称减少肉类消费“具有生存意义”。
“我们听到越来越多关于动物福利的议题，我认为这不仅是正确且符合道德的选择，同时……对抗气候变化也必不可少，”塔拉里科说道，并补充道，“现在，我们必须努力减少肉类消费，尊重动物，这已是关乎生存的大事。”
“因此，我很自豪地宣布，我们的竞选活动正式成为无肉竞选，”塔拉里科继续说道，“我们只会从当地素食企业购买素食产品。”
视频中可以看到塔拉里科在演讲时佩戴口罩。

他这些被重新翻出的言论在得州引发轩然大波。牛肉养殖是该州规模达数十亿美元的产业，也是该州最大的农业板块。
“谁来告诉他，肉牛是德州第一大宗商品？”参议院共和党竞选机构全国共和党参议员委员会在X平台上写道。
得克萨斯州联邦参议员特德·克鲁兹称塔拉里科是个“怪人”，想要“禁止烧烤”。
“今年11月请投共和党一票，局势至关重要，”科宁写道。
在一片反对声中，塔拉里科的竞选团队发布了一张候选人身着德克萨斯州旗帜衬衫、大口啃火鸡腿的照片。
“詹姆斯·塔拉里科就素食指控发表官方声明，”竞选团队写道。

针对特朗普周三的批评，塔拉里科竞选团队发言人JT·恩尼斯告诉福克斯新闻数字频道：“随着生活成本持续上涨、华盛顿腐败横行，詹姆斯专注于为工薪阶层夺回权力，降低汽油、食品杂货和医疗保健价格。”
“詹姆斯正在发起一场由民众推动的运动，挑战这个腐朽、腐败的政治体系——不是挑战某一位政客，也不是挑战某一个政党，而是挑战那些让德州民众生活成本飙升、中饱私囊的亿万富翁巨鳄金主和傀儡政客，”恩尼斯说道。

President Donald Trump is confident that his pick for U.S. Senate in the Lone Star State will easily defeat Democrat James Talarico, whom he called unelectable because “he’s a vegan in Texas.”
Talarico is a prominent state lawmaker who was only recently propelled to the national stage after winning the Democratic Senate nomination in Texas earlier this year. He has been widely lambasted by conservatives for his history of controversial statements, including claiming, “God is non-binary” and that “sex is a spectrum.”
While speaking with reporters before boarding Air Force One on Wednesday morning, Trump predicted that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who he endorsed this week, will “win very substantially” in the upcoming primary runoff with incumbent Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas.
He then forecasted that Paxton would “go on to defeat a very defective candidate that believes in six genders, and he takes hits at Jesus Christ, and he’s wearing a mask six months ago, anybody wearing a mask six months ago doesn’t get it.”

He then ripped into Talarico, saying, “And he’s vegan, he’s a vegan in Texas.”
“You can’t get elected as a vegan in Texas,” Trump insisted.
Trump’s comments reference an unearthed 2022 clip of Talarico giving a speech and calling reducing meat consumption “existential.”
“We have heard, I think, heard more and more issues of animal welfare. I think, not just because it’s the right thing to do, and it’s the moral thing to do, but also… necessary to fight climate change,” Talarico said, adding, “It is now existential that we try to reduce our meat consumption, and that we try to respect animals.”
“So, I am proud to say that our campaign has officially become a non-meat campaign,” Talarico continued. “So, we are only buying vegan products from our local vegan businesses.”
Talarico can be seen wearing a mask during the speech.

His resurfaced comments caused a significant stir in Texas, where beef cattle production is a multibillion-dollar industry and the state’s largest agricultural segment.
“Who wants to tell him that cattle is the #1 commodity in Texas?” the National Republican Senatorial Committee, Senate Republicans’ campaign arm, wrote on X.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, labeled Talarico a “freak” who wants to “ban BBQ.”
“Vote Republican this November. The steaks couldn’t be higher,” Cornyn wrote.
Amid the backlash, the Talarico campaign blasted out a photo of the candidate wearing a Texas flag shirt and taking a large bite out of a turkey leg.
“Official Statement from James Talarico on Vegan Accusations,” the campaign wrote.

In response to Trump’s criticisms on Wednesday, JT Ennis, a spokesperson for Talarico’s campaign, told Fox News Digital that “as costs continue to rise and corruption in Washington runs rampant, James is focused on taking power back for working people and bringing down the price of gas, groceries, and healthcare.”
“James is building a people-powered movement to take on this broken, corrupt political system — not any one politician, not any one political party, but the billionaire mega donors and puppet politicians who have made life more expensive for Texans while enriching themselves,” said Ennis.
