Their latest conspiracy theory backfired on them, so now they're back to trying to paint James Talarico as gay or trans, when they know full well he's straight. As we already discussed here, the right wing was out there pushing a conspiracy theory that Talarico wasn't actually suffering from the flu, which took him off the campaign trail for nine days this month, but instead was in some mental health institution in Ohio.
Here's Fox's resident smarmy frat boy, Jesse Watters, taking his turn during a segment where he was trying to feed viewers some hope for their chances of keeping control of Congress in the upcoming midterms.
WATTERS: Minnesota turning into kind of a headache for Democrats, Texas too, where the Democrat candidate was in bed for two weeks with the tutti-fruity flu.
Freako says if he can beat the flu, he can beat anything.
TALARICO: David may not have been as big or as strong as Goliath. He may not have had as many weapons, but he had hope, and he had a slingshot. You are my slingshot. The people of Texas are my slingshot.
WATTERS: The flu flipped the race. Look at that. New insider advantage poll has Paxton up one. The rest of the polls are almost all within the margin of error right now.
