Another day, another Republican In Name Only getting exposed for lying about President Trump to line his own pockets. This time it's Texas Senate candidate James Talerico, who Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow absolutely torched on Wednesday's "Alex Marlow Show" for his despicable fundraising tactics.

"He's lying to you to make money. It's noteworthy how blasphemous this guy is," Marlow declared, calling out Talerico's shameless attempt to cash in on anti-Trump sentiment following his appearance on Stephen Colbert's late-night propaganda show.

What makes this particularly disgusting is the timing. Here we are, just three weeks into President Trump's historic second term, watching him deliver on his America First agenda with mass deportations, border security, and economic prosperity – and this RINO is still trying to make a quick buck by stabbing our President in the back.

"He was the guy who said flat out" – Marlow began exposing Talerico's lies before detailing the candidate's brazen deception of potential donors.

This is exactly the kind of swamp creature behavior that We the People are sick and tired of. These establishment Republicans think they can play both sides – kiss up to the liberal media elites like Colbert while simultaneously begging conservative donors for money by spreading lies about the most successful President of our lifetime.

Patriots in Texas need to take note: James Talerico has shown his true colors. He's more interested in impressing Hollywood liberals and filling his campaign coffers than standing with the MAGA movement that's actually delivering results for hardworking Americans.

The RINO Problem Persists

This Talerico situation perfectly illustrates why the Republican Party still needs a massive cleanup operation. While President Trump and his loyal allies like Governor DeSantis, JD Vance, and others are fighting for America First principles, we still have snakes in the grass looking to profit off division and deception.

Texas conservatives deserve better than a candidate who goes on anti-Trump comedy shows and then lies about our President to raise money. The question is: will Lone Star State voters see through this charade, or will they let another establishment fraud slip through the cracks?

Another reason why we need to drain the swamp at every level, not just federal. These local RINOs are just as dangerous to our movement.

Does anyone know if there's a primary challenger lined up against Talerico? We need to get this swamp creature out of office before he does more damage.

Finally someone's calling out these fake conservatives! Talerico has been playing both sides for years and we all knew it.

Exactly! His voting record never matched his campaign promises anyway.

I met this guy at a town hall last year and something felt off about him. He gave all the right answers but seemed rehearsed, like he was reading from a script.

That's the RINO playbook - tell voters what they want to hear then do whatever benefits them politically.

Going on Colbert was the dead giveaway. No real conservative would give that liberal hack the time of day, let alone appear on his show to bash Trump.

The fact that he's fundraising off of attacking Trump while pretending to support him shows you everything you need to know about his character. These establishment types have no shame.

This is exactly why I research every candidate thoroughly now. Too many RINOs pretending to be America First while stabbing us in the back for donations.

Same here. Can't trust anyone at face value anymore, even in red districts.
