My final statement regarding the @JamesTalarico and @LindnerCtrHope situation: I’ve made all the recordings publicly available on my 𝕏 account so everyone can listen and draw their own conclusions. Frankly, this entire situation has been blown completely out of proportion. Here are the facts: I contacted the medical facility after receiving a tip suggesting that Talarico might have been a patient there. During that conversation, I pressed an employee for information, and the employee ultimately stated that Talarico had been discharged from the facility within the previous 24 hours. Approximately 12 hours later, the Lindner Center issued an official statement contradicting what its employee had told me, denying that Talarico had ever been a patient at the facility. That’s where the facts stand. I reported what I was told, released the recordings in full, and acknowledged the facility’s subsequent denial. I have no independently verified evidence establishing that Talarico was ever a patient there. I’m not going to speculate beyond the information available or continue fueling a controversy based on an unverified claim. As far as I’m concerned, this matter is closed. It’s time to move on to more substantive issues facing voters. From now until Election Day, my goal remains clear: to do everything within my ability, in whatever capacity possible, to help elect @KenPaxtonTX as the next United States Senator from the great state of Texas.

I'm a Texan, and I don't eat any of this junk. I'm also not aware of anyone else who does—the closest I've ever heard of as a signature Texan breakfast is Texas toast, and even then, I don't know anyone who eats it. Texas is a big state, so it's easy to overgeneralize, but this? Tell me steak, BBQ, or Whataburger are Texan, and then I'll believe you.

You clearly have no idea why the Civil War was actually fought. The government school indoctrination screams in your reply. Good luck with that.
