.@JamesTalarico takes cancel culture head-on with Rogan: "Nothing is more antithetical in my faith than canceling another human being The way you win in a democracy is you persuade people To write someone off for disagreeing with you—that's diametrically opposed to my values.”
.@jamestalarico: "Before I went on Rogan's podcast, I went on Fox News. I've been on the Christian Broadcasting Network. I've been on The 700 Club. I'm trying to go into places where Dems don't typically go, because politics is about addition, not subtraction. If you want to…
.@jamestalarico: "Now that Trump's in office, you see that he's cutting taxes for himself and his rich friends. He's kicking his own voters off their healthcare and food assistance. And he's not even releasing the Epstein files... I hope people are realizing that Donald Trump is…
