Texas Dem Talarico's ‘culture of violence’ remarks resurface as he denies defund police ties

Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico is facing scrutiny over 2019 remarks linking school police presence to a 'culture of violence,' as Republicans highlight his past comments to challenge his moderate image. Talarico denies supporting defunding police, while the GOP frames his proposals as aligning with progressive agendas.
