> Political texts funded by a conservative PAC ask Texas voters, “Are you white?” before directing them to a website that claims Democratic candidate James Talarico called white men “America’s top terror threat.” The messages cite remarks he made after a mass shooting, when he said radicalized white men were the country’s greatest domestic terror threat.
