Ken Paxton just released an AI deepfake attack ad against James Talarico — and it's raising serious questions about how far AI in political ads can go. In this video, I break down the real quotes behind the fake video, so you can see what Talarico actually said vs. how Paxton's campaign repackaged it.
The ad uses an AI-generated version of Talarico to deliver a mashup of his real past comments on faith, gender, and abortion — often cut and combined out of context. I'm going straight to the source material so you can judge for yourself.
Here's what's actually in the ad, with context:
🔹 "God is nonbinary" — Talarico's comments on the two different Hebrew words used in Genesis to describe God
🔹 "A Christian who hates Christianity" — his take on Christianity as a radical political philosophy
🔹 The "six sexes" comment — from a 2021 Texas House hearing on school sports and intersex variations
🔹 "Jesus is a radical feminist" — his argument connecting scripture to reproductive rights
🔹 "Christ didn't ask to be worshiped" — his distinction between worshiping Jesus and following his teachings
Paxton and Talarico are in a tight race for Texas's US Senate seat, and this deepfake has become one of the biggest AI-in-politics stories of the 2026 midterms.
