《周末大秀》联合主持人讨论得州民主党联邦参议员候选人詹姆斯·塔拉利科的争议过往言论。

据报道，得州联邦参议院民主党候选人詹姆斯·塔拉利科将于9月前往洛杉矶，与好莱坞名人一同出席高端筹款活动。
据《政客》报道，《迷失》联合创作者达蒙·林德洛夫与妻子海蒂将于9月10日在布伦特伍德为塔拉利科举办筹款活动。据该媒体消息，本次活动门票起价500美元，最高可达13500美元。这将是塔拉利科数月内的第二场好莱坞筹款活动。第一场于6月举办，据《第六页》好莱坞版描述，这场“浮华的民主党筹款活动”在好莱坞制片人彼得·彻宁的家中举行。福克斯新闻数字频道已联系林德洛夫夫妇和彻宁置评。
与此同时，塔拉利科的对手、得州州检察长肯·帕克斯顿将与唐纳德·特朗普总统及其他共和党人一同在达拉斯参加共和党全国委员会中期代表大会。据《纽约时报》报道，就在共和党人在达拉斯集会的当晚，前总统贝拉克·奥巴马将在纽约主持一场民主党众议院筹款活动。两场活动让知名民主党人现身沿海地区，而共和党人则齐聚得州。
福克斯新闻数字频道此前报道称，根据第一季度竞选财务记录，得州以外的捐赠者约占塔拉利科募集资金的50%。

塔拉利科因跨州筹款遭到共和党人的抨击。共和党全国委员会发言人扎克·克拉夫特告诉福克斯新闻数字频道：“詹姆斯·塔拉利科在疯狂的自由派加州感到更自在，而非在其幕僚强迫他戴上假牛仔帽、租一辆皮卡假装成‘真正的’得州人的时候，这一点不足为奇。”
福克斯新闻数字频道已联系塔拉利科的竞选团队置评，但截至发稿未收到回复。
塔拉利科目前是得州州议会的进步派民主党议员。自赢得联邦参议院民主党提名以来，共和党人一直在抨击他有争议的言论记录，包括称上帝“非二元性别”、声称存在六种性别，以及称减少肉类消费对应对气候变化“至关重要”。

尽管遭到攻击，塔拉利科与帕克斯顿的选情仍十分胶着，许多民主党人认为今年可能是得州最终转向蓝色的一年。福克斯新闻7月的一项民调显示，塔拉利科以51%对48%领先帕克斯顿3个百分点，处于调查抽样误差范围内。
与此同时，帕克斯顿告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，考虑到塔拉利科在与现任参议员约翰·康恩进行格外混乱的初选决选后，在大选初期就占据了优势，他的领先并不令人意外。
周日，参议员约翰·肯尼迪（路易斯安那州共和党人）在接受福克斯新闻采访时表示，资金是这场竞选的“关键问题”。

“塔拉利科一直在从加州、好莱坞筹集大量资金，”他说。
他呼吁特朗普帮助帕克斯顿筹集资金，称：“我们参议院没有为得州划拨预算；我们需要总统的帮助。”

他吹嘘自己曾三次在该州赢得总统选举，并称：“我会前往得州，我们正在全力以赴。我们想赢得这场竞选。”特朗普称帕克斯顿是“非常优秀的候选人”，同时嘲讽塔拉利科：“大家都叫他‘塔拉怪咖’，因为他有点怪异。”

Texas Dem candidate to hold high-dollar Hollywood fundraiser while GOP gathers in Dallas: ‘Fake cowboy’
The Texas Senate race heats up as Democrats court California donors while Republicans gather in Dallas for the RNC convention

‘The Big Weekend Show’ co-hosts discuss Democratic Texas U.S. Senate nominee James Talarico’s controversial past comments.
NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico is set to travel to Los Angeles in September for a high-dollar fundraiser with Hollywood celebrities, according to a report.
Politico reported that “Lost” co-creator Damon Lindelof and his wife, Heidi, will host a fundraiser for Talarico in Brentwood on Sept. 10. Tickets for the event start at $500 and go as high as $13,500, according to the outlet. This will be Talarico’s second Hollywood fundraiser in a few months. The first was held in June and was described by Page Six Hollywood as a “glitzy Dem fundraiser” at the home of Hollywood producer Peter Chernin. Fox News Digital reached out to the Lindelofs and Chernin for comment.
Meanwhile, Talarico’s opponent, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, will gather in Dallas for the Republican National Committee’s midterm convention, along with President Donald Trump and other Republicans. The same night Republicans rally in Dallas, former President Barack Obama will headline a Democratic House fundraiser in New York, according to The New York Times. The events put prominent Democrats on the coasts while Republicans gather in Texas.
Fox News Digital previously reported that donors from outside Texas accounted for roughly 50% of the funds raised by Talarico, according to first-quarter campaign finance records.

Talarico is taking heat from Republicans for his out-of-state fundraising. RNC spokesperson Zach Kraft told Fox News Digital that “it is no surprise that James Talarico feels more comfortable in crazy liberal California than when his handlers force him to wear a fake cowboy hat and rent a pickup truck to pretend to be a ‘real’ Texan.”
Fox News Digital reached out to Talarico’s campaign for comment but did not receive a response by the time of publication.
Talarico currently serves as a progressive Democratic lawmaker in the Texas House of Representatives. Since winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate, Republicans have continually knocked him for his record of controversial statements, including calling God “nonbinary,” saying that there are six sexes and saying that reducing meat consumption was “existential” to fight climate change.

Despite the attacks, Talarico and Paxton are running a tight race, and many Democrats believe this could be the year Texas finally flips blue. A Fox News poll from July gave Talarico a 3-point edge over Paxton, 51% to 48%, which was within the survey’s margin of sampling error.
Paxton, meanwhile, has told Fox News Digital that Talarico’s lead is not surprising given his head start in the general election following his particularly messy primary runoff against incumbent Sen. John Cornyn.
Speaking with Fox News on Sunday, Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., said that “money is an issue” in the race.

“Mr. Talarico has been raising bucketloads of money from California, Hollywood,” he said.
He called on Trump to help Paxton with cash, saying, “We in the Senate don’t have the money budgeted for Texas; we need help from the president.”

For his part, Trump has promised: “I’m going to help Ken Paxton, and I’m going to spend a lot of time in Texas.”

Touting his history of winning the state three times on the presidential level, he said, “I’ll be going to Texas, and we’re working really hard. We want to win that race.” Trump called Paxton a “very good candidate,” while taking a jab at Talarico, saying, “‘Talafreako,’ they call him, because he is a little freaky.”
