2021年圣诞节当天，得克萨斯州民主党联邦参议院候选人詹姆斯·塔拉里科曾庆祝自己收到了安东尼·福西博士玩偶，如今他正因这一举动遭到嘲讽。
“我收到了最酷的可动人偶圣诞礼物！”塔拉里科当时在社交媒体上写道。“感谢所有在岗的医疗保健超级英雄。让我们通过接种疫苗和加强针来贡献力量吧！”
本周早些时候，这篇近五年前的帖子开始在X平台上重新传播，共和党议员和保守派评论员随即对塔拉里科进行嘲讽。

“你觉得詹姆斯·塔拉里科还在玩他的福西可动人偶吗？”得克萨斯州共和党众议员布兰登·吉尔周三写道。
面对资金雄厚的挑战者塔拉里科，共和党试图将他描绘成缺乏男子气概的形象，以损害他在得州选民中的形象。他的对手、得克萨斯州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿称他“对得州来说男子气概不足”，一个保守团体制作的人工智能广告则将这位民主党候选人描绘成穿着裙子四处招摇的样子。
“詹姆斯·塔拉里科拥有福西博士的可动人偶并不令人意外，”评论员本尼·约翰逊在X平台上打趣道。
美国全国步枪协会也持类似立场，提醒其X平台的粉丝：“永远不要信任玩玩偶的成年男性。”
兰德·保罗在福西援引第五修正案超过100次后寻求指控其藐视国会

周三，福西因在国会宣誓作证时多次拒绝回答问题、援引第五修正案权利避免作出自证其罪的陈述而重新进入新闻周期，塔拉里科的这篇帖子也随之重新浮出水面。
发布该帖子时，塔拉里奇正担任得克萨斯州众议院议员，这一职位他至今仍在担任。即便在他最初发布这个玩具的照片时，保守派就已经攻击这位得州议员依附于他们认为不受欢迎的封锁政策。
“詹姆斯·塔拉里科称福西为超级英雄，”得克萨斯州共和党参议员特德·克鲁兹周三在X平台上写道。“如今，福西援引了111次第五修正案。显然，追责权是需要额外购买的。”
这位参议员随后补充道：“你按下拉杆，它就会援引第五修正案。”

福西称，此次听证会是参议员兰德·保罗对他“精神错乱的执念”导致的。
共和党人似乎认为，塔拉里科对福西的钦佩会损害他的选举前景，得克萨斯州州长格雷格·雅培的竞选账号在回复塔拉里科的帖子时，配上了“七月圣诞节”的字样，并附带圣诞树和口罩表情符号。

这款玩偶带有“可拆卸口罩”，可在网上以约25美元的价格购得，属于一家名为FCTRY的公司生产的“现实生活可动人偶”系列玩具。该系列的其他玩偶还包括纽约州民主党众议员亚历山德里亚·奥卡西奥-科特兹、佛蒙特州独立党参议员伯尼·桑德斯以及前副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯。
周四，福克斯新闻数字频道联系塔拉里奇的竞选团队置评，但未得到回应。

On Christmas Day 2021, Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico celebrated receiving a Dr. Anthony Fauci doll — a decision he is now being mocked for.
“I got the coolest action figure for Christmas!” Talarico wrote on social media at the time. “Thank you to all the health care superheroes working today. Let’s help by getting vaxxed and boosted!”
Republican lawmakers and conservative pundits were quick to poke fun at Talarico when his nearly five-year-old post began recirculating on X earlier in the week.
TEXAS DEM NOMINEE JAMES TALARICO INVOKES FAITH TO DEFEND ABORTION RIGHTS, ‘THE BIBLE IS SILENT ON ABORTION’

“Do you think James Talarico still plays with his Fauci action figure?” Rep. Brandon Gill, a Texas Republican, wrote Wednesday.
Republicans, facing a well-funded challenger in Talarico, have sought to portray him as effeminate in an effort to harm his image among Texas voters. His opponent, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, branded him as “too low-T for Texas,” and an AI ad produced by a conservative group portrayed the Democratic hopeful prancing around in a dress.
“It comes as no surprise that James Talarico has a Dr. Fauci action figure,” commentator Benny Johnson quipped on X.
The National Rifle Association, along similar lines, cautioned its X followers to “Never trust a grown man that plays with dolls.”
RAND PAUL SEEKS CONTEMPT CHARGES AFTER FAUCI INVOKES FIFTH AMENDMENT MORE THAN 100 TIMES

Talarico’s post resurfaced Wednesday as Fauci returned to the news cycle following his repeated refusal to answer questions under oath before Congress, invoking his Fifth Amendment right to avoid making self-incriminating statements.
At the time of his post, Talarico was serving as a member of the Texas House of Representatives, a post he still holds today. Even when he first posted the image of his toy, conservatives attacked the Texas lawmaker for attaching himself to what they believed to be unpopular lockdown policies.
“James Talarico called Fauci a superhero,” Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz wrote on X Wednesday. “Today, Fauci took the Fifth 111 times. Apparently accountability was sold separately.”
“If you push the lever, it pleads the Fifth,” the senator later added.

Fauci suggested that the hearing was the result of Sen. Rand Paul’s “unhinged obsession” with him.
Republicans appear to view Talarico’s admiration for Fauci as something that will hurt his electoral prospects, with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s campaign account posting “Christmas in July” alongside a Christmas tree and mask emoji in response to Talarico’s post.

The figurine, which features a “removable mask” and can be purchased online for around $25, is part of a line of toys called “real life action figures” manufactured by a company called FCTRY. Other figures in the series include Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and former Vice President Kamala Harris.
The Talarico campaign did not respond to a request for comment when reached by Fox News Digital Thursday.
