Dem ripped for ‘disgusting’ absence on bill to punish violent criminals after girl strangled in grisly killing

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico is being criticized for his absence during a vote on a Texas bill to automatically deny bail to illegal immigrants charged with violent felonies. The bill was dubbed 'Jocelyn's Law' in honor of slain Houston preteen Jocelyn Nungaray, who was strangled to death. Talarico's absence has sparked outrage, with critics accusing him of prioritizing criminals over the safety of Texans.
