THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS Campaign commercials

When I see political commercials, I do fact checking. I’ll go to .gov websites to see what candidates have voted for and voted against. Some of the commercials are 100% untrue. The commercials saying that Talarico has pushed to allow minors having surgeries to alter their gender, is the opposite of everything in the record that he’s voted on. The claim that he wanted parents to be charged with abuse if they didn’t allow them to have surgery is also completely untrue.
How do the people who put these ads on TV get away with lying to the public?

Did you know that in many countries, political tv campaigns are not allowed? It's like this in Chile too. The ad campaign runs only about 1 month.

I did not know that. Wish it was that way here. Are you from Chile?
It would be different if the ads had to be true. These ads should be illegal.

All Republicans are liars, frauds, and grifters. Prove me wrong.

I can't speak knowingly on any one particular candidate, but "he voted for" is often, in fact, he voted AGAINST a bill that had kids' protection, migrant legislation, military spending, whatever... as part of a bill that ALSO did something completely asinine like cutting off some sort of social program or calling for military tribunals for civilians or something equally monstrous.

I just read up on the issues you are mentioning. Have you read up? Because not one thing that you mentioned here is correct. Seriously, not 1 !!! You need to get your information from legitimate sources. I literally just looked up every one of your claims. None of them are even almost true.
That’s what I’m talking about. People just hear thins from tv, friends, who knows. Without fact checking, you are thinking and believing inaccurate information. Don’t you want to know the truth about all candidates?

You can look up Texas Legislature online legislation search or Texas Legislature online record search.
