Prepare for a Non-Shock: Staffer for Rejected Liberal RINO John Cornyn Joins James Talarico Campaign

They spend years lying to us about being conservative, and after we eject them, they confirm that we were right all along.

James Talarico Poaches Cornyn Staffer

Poaches? I suspect this traitor went running to his real political allies.

Cross-party hires are rare, but the move could show the Senate Democratic campaign is hoping to reach out to Republicans in reliably red Texas.

Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico's campaign hired a staffer from Republican Sen. John Cornyn, NOTUS has learned.

Jacob Smith, who worked for Cornyn for five years as a deputy legislative director and policy adviser, is taking on the role of deputy policy director for Talarico's campaign.

"I've worked for Republicans like Senator Cornyn my entire career, but this year I'm proud to be joining James Talarico's campaign," Smith confirmed in a statement through the Talarico campaign. "Instead of playing partisan politics, Talarico speaks to the needs of everyday people who day in and day out work too hard for too little. In the Senate, James will fight to lower costs for all 31 million Texans, whether they're Republicans, Democrats, or independents, so that Texans of all ages have a fighting chance at the American Dream of starting a family, owning a home, and leaving a little behind for their children."

Smith also took aim at the GOP nominee, adding, "Ken Paxton is the most corrupt, self-dealing politician in Texas who would sell their futures to the highest contributor just to hold onto power. I'm encouraging all my fellow Republicans who know Ken Paxton is unfit to serve in the Senate to finally hold him accountable at the ballot box."

Smith previously worked on the House Science Committee for Rep. Frank Lucas (R-Oklahoma) and was a legislative aide for Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Mississippi).

When contacted for comment, a Cornyn spokesperson directed NOTUS to remarks the senator has made repeatedly in recent months where he's said he will "support the Republican ticket" in the fall.

Sure, sure.

Thanks to Buck Throckmorton.

JAMES TALARICO: "With the SAVE Act, they are trying to rob our neighbors, strictly our black neighbors, of those God given rights."

So conservative.
