DALLAS — During his acceptance address on Tuesday evening, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton derisively referred to Talarico using nicknames such as “Tof Talar” and “James Tala-freako,” among others, which his campaign has created for the Democratic challenger in the U.S. Senate race.

In his victory speech Tuesday, Paxton declared Talarico the “most extreme radical the Democrats have ever nominated.” After workshopping nicknames for Talarico on the campaign trail over the last week, Paxton rolled them out again in his remarks, referring to his opponent as “Tofu Talarico,” “Six-Gender Jimmy,” “James Tala-freak-o,” and “Low-T Talarico.”

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who clinched the GOP’s nomination for U.S. Senate on Tuesday night, released a new ad Wednesday —his first of the general election — accusing his opponent, state Sen. James Talarico, of being too “low-T for Texas.” “Low-T” is a reference to testosterone levels and often used as an insult by influencers in the so-called manosphere.

Republican Ken Paxton was quick to publicly denounce his fellow U.S. Senate candidate, Democrat James Talarico, for apparently changing his stance on gender-affirming care for transgender youth, according to the Austin American Statesman. ... In response to these comments, Paxton even made up some derogatory nicknames for Talarico, including “Talafreako” and “six-gender Jimmy.”

In his victory speech Tuesday, Paxton declared Talarico the “most extreme radical the Democrats have ever nominated.” After workshopping nicknames for Talarico on the campaign trail over the last week, Paxton rolled them out again in his remarks, referring to his opponent as “Tofu Talarico,” “Six-Gender Jimmy,” “James Tala-freak-o,” and “Low-T Talarico.”

Paxton also referred to Talarico by the nickname “Tofu Talarico.”

Following his victory in the Republican primary, Paxton unleashed a series of jabs at Talarico, referring to him with various derogatory nicknames. “He is known by several monikers, some call him tofu Talarico, others six-gender Jimmy, and I’ve even heard him called James Talafreako,” he quipped, prompting laughter and applause from the crowd. He then released an advertisement featuring Talarico alongside the phrase: “Talarico: low-T Texas.”

During his victory speech on Tuesday night, Paxton targeted Talarico with a series of derisive nicknames such as "Tofu Talarico," "Six-gender Jimmy," "James Tala-freako," and "Low T Talarico," while condemning his views on gender-affirming care, immigration, energy, and religion.

Within hours of winning the Republican nomination for the Texas Senate election, Attorney General Ken Paxton was attacking his Democratic opponent, James Talarico, as insufficiently masculine to represent their state in Washington. In his acceptance speech, Paxton rolled out the nicknames “Low-T Talarico,” “Tofu Talarico,” “Six-Gender Jimmy,” and “James Tala-freak-o,” reminiscent of the derogatory titles President Donald Trump gives his political enemies.

"[Talarico] goes by a few names that you may all have heard of," Paxton said. "Some know him as 'Tofu Talarico.' Some people call him 'Six-Gender Jimmy.' I've even heard some call him 'James Tala-freak-o.' And others refer to him simply as 'Low-T Talarico.'"

Scandal-plagued GOP nominee Ken Paxton is trying to convince voters that Talarico isn’t “manly” enough to serve as senator—another head-scratching attack. After Paxton won the nomination in a primary runoff against GOP Sen. John Cornyn, he tried to get the nicknames “Low-T Talarico” and “Talafreako” to stick. “He goes by a few names that you all may have heard of. Some people know him as ‘tofu Talarico.’ Some people call him ‘six-gender Jimmy.’ I’ve even heard some people call him ‘James Talafreako,’” Paxton said in his victory speech. “And others refer to him simply as ‘Low-T Talarico.’”

Following his victory, Paxton wasted no time in characterizing his opponent in the upcoming general election, Democratic Texas representative James Talarico, as lacking traditional masculinity. "My opponent is the most extreme radical Democrats have nominated," Paxton declared in his victory address. "He's even a vegan, whatever that means. He goes by a few names that you may have heard. Some call him Tofu Talarico. Others refer to him as Six-Gender Jimmy. I've even heard some call him Tala-freako. And some simply know him as Low-T Talarico."

In his victory speech Tuesday night, Paxton immediately labeled Talarico “the most extreme radical the Democrats have ever nominated.” He and his allies have used nicknames such as “Tofu Talarico,” “Low-T Talarico,” and “Tala-freak-o,” while highlighting Talarico’s past comments on issues including gender and border policy.

In rapid-fire succession, Paxton, at 63 years old, disparaged the 37-year-old Democrat with nicknames like "Tofu Talarico," "Tala-freako," and "Low-T Talarico." He ominously declared, "Regardless of what you call him, James Talarico poses a danger to everything we value in this state and nation."

Shortly after securing the Republican Senate nomination, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton called his Democratic opponent James Talarico a vegan: “He's a vegan who thinks God is nonbinary and that there's actually six biological sexes.” In the same May 26 speech, Paxton also referred to “Tofu Talarico” and “Low-T Talarico,” short for “low testosterone.”

In the Texas U.S. Senate contest, Democratic contender, state Rep. James Talarico, dismissed derogatory remarks amplified by President Trump and his Republican rival, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. When asked about the attacks on his masculinity, particularly Paxton's "Low-T Talarico" jab, Talarico replied, "Honestly, I had to look up what that meant. I don't believe guys my age are particularly concerned about that sort of thing, but I think these nicknames and personal jabs fail to address the needs of Texans."

On stage, Paxton's demeanor was calm and composed as he expressed gratitude to his supporters for selecting him as their Senate nominee. He reiterated some of the jabs he had previously directed at Talarico during his victory speech, including nicknames such as "Low T Talarico" and "Six-gender Jimmy," referring to Talarico's controversial statement about biological sexes.

Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico is embracing Attorney General Ken Paxton’s taunting nickname of “Talafreako” as the general election starts. In recent weeks, Paxton has taken a page out of President Donald Trump’s book and begun testing out nicknames for Talarico: “Tofu Talarico,” “Six-gender Jimmy,” “Low T Talarico,” and “James Talafreako.”

In recent weeks, Paxton has taken a page out of former President Donald Trump's playbook by assigning mocking nicknames to his rival, including "Tofu Talarico", "Six-Gender Jimmy" and "James Talafreako." Paxton's comments, made during a campaign stop in Dallas, were intended to cast doubt on Talarico's masculinity and suitability for office.
