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.
