Travis County Republicans make new rule: no more pro-Talarico posts allowed
The Travis County Republicans Facebook group is in disarray as it grapples with a problem: too many members are posting positive things about state Rep. James Talarico, the Democratic nominee for Texas’ contested U.S. Senate seat.
Finally, an admin in the Austin-area group had enough and posted a message to the group on Thursday.

However, Hogue also raised the possibility that the group had been infiltrated by Democrats masquerading as Republicans to sway them with Talarico’s Christian values as opposed to … whatever Paxton’s values are.
Yeah, unless this group’s members are unusually free-thinking and find Paxton too awful even for a Republican, I’m damned if I can understand why they’re posting pro-Talarico comments at all in a Republican group if they’re not secretly Democrat operatives. I find it quite mirthsome either way, of course.
