At first, this editor thought this was just a clever parody. Then he checked the X bio of the poster, JT Ennis, which says that he's a spokesman for Texas Senate candidate James Talarico. It could still be a clever parody. Maybe "JT Ennis" isn't real, and the whole account was made up to ridicule the Talarico campaign.
Hmmm ... that's possible ... BUT, Talarico most definitely IS this moronic. He's the hilarious reincarnation of Beto "Pendejo" O'Rourke.
As Twitchy reported on Tuesday, a 2022 video went viral, showing Talarico (still wearing a COVID mask) telling an audience that it was “existential” to reduce meat consumption to fight climate change, and pledging that his campaign was only buying vegan products from local vegan businesses. That's not something you say when you're trying to be elected to represent the state that produces the most beef in the nation.
Bobby LaValley (@Bobby_LaVallley) ~ In 2022, James Talarico said it’s “existential” to reduce meat consumption to fight climate change.
"I am proud to say that our campaign has officially become a non-meat campaign ... We are only buying vegan products from our local vegan businesses."

A day later, Ennis has posted the official response of the Talarico campaign to "VEGAN ACCUSATIONS."
All I can figure is that this J.T. Ennis came highly recommended to the Talarico Campaign by Newsom's Communications Team, eh?

Browns Nihilist (@BrownsNihilist) ~ {Replying to @jt_ennis and @jamestalarico} So, he was just lying and pandering to the cause of the moment at the time of the video? Just to make sure I'm getting this right ...
mrFisturbuttNstuff (@rosegoldreeterd) ~ {Replying to @jt_ennis and @jamestalarico} Imagine having more meat on a cooked rib than you have on your arm.
Yeah, not that anyone would have thought it possible, but Talarico is even more of a pansified pajama boy than Beto!
