Showing Original Post only (View all)Did anyone else hear this response from Talarico to insults about his "masculinity"? [View all]

He is on a five-city tour of TX and talking to people as the matchup between him and Paxton begins. He addressed the masculinity thing by using his father as an example. He said, "A real man serves others."
Then he gave the example of his own father who used to mow the lawn every Saturday morning and then without telling anyone, would go next door and mow the neighbor's lawn. She was an elderly widow. He finished by saying, "That's what a man does." He serves others. And he does it without bragging or complaining.
Imagine that. I love that response.

He addressed that bs on MSNOW, said he eats meat just like all other Texans, loves BBQ and a good steak.
