Quote:We now know where James Talarico really was when he disappeared for two weeks from the campaign trail.

His excuse was that he was suffering from the flu, but it appears he was suffering from a breakdown of sorts.

Talarico just vanished out of thin air after a September 28 fundraiser with TDS-infected actor Robert DeNiro and allies of NYC Mayor Zohran Mandani in New York. He was also raising money from the gay Human Rights Campaign in New York.

Talarico finally resurfaced on Friday, October 9, at the ACL music festival in Austin, Texas, the Gateway Pundit reported. His team tried to gaslight the country. “Hate to disappoint the conspiracy theorists, but James is still alive and meeting with voters at ACL today,” a Talarico spokesperson said as if it’s totally normal to disappear for two weeks in the heat of an election.

Trump called BS on his so-called flu last night while speaking at a rally in Clarksville, Tennessee.

Trump previously said that “bad rumors are coming out” as Talarico remained in hiding. Many speculated a mental health crisis or that he had fallen ill with a disease much worse than the flu.

It turns out he had a mental health crisis and was holed up at the Lindner Center of HOPE, an inpatient mental health treatment facility and psychiatric hospital in Mason, Ohio.

In a phone call placed by political strategist Rhein Amacher and journalist Nick Sortor to the Lindner Center, an employee confirms that Talarico had been "just discharged" from the facility on Saturday. He was seemingly discharged the day before, on Friday, but his discharge was likely not processed or finalized immediately. She did, however, confirm that he was at the facility.

Nick Sortor broke the news on X after he and Amacher called the facility.

Due to HIPAA privacy laws, it is unclear whether the employee's disclosure of Talarico's name being in the Lindner Center system was legal.

As previously noted by GOP fundraiser Caroline Wren on Saturday, Talarico appeared to have taken a private plane from Hamilton, Ohio, back to Austin, Texas, on Friday morning, just before he emerged at the music festival. Wren also pointed out that this is the same facility where Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo stayed for nearly two months during an episode back in 2023.

And the facility hosts drag shows, which is an added bonus for Talarico. Maybe his favorite drag queen was there.

Former Los Angeles Mayoral Candidate Spencer Pratt also sounded the alarm on Friday, noting that while Talarico deserves "empathy," he also deserves people to "savagely mock his smug, awful campaign advisors" for lying to the people of Texas and trying to hide this.

"Campaigns are brutal, and not everybody is cut out for it. You need very thick skin. As much as I don't want Talarico anywhere near government, I also don't want wish him harm, and no political office is worth having a breakdown. His awful advisors are at fault for this. They pushed him to be something he isn't, and it didn't work," Pratt wrote.

We have contacted the Talarico campaign to ask for confirmation of this story and a statement. We will update this story when we hear back.

This is a developing story.

Unreal what bad candidates the Dems pick.

But the employee, assuming it’s true, should be fired.

He'll just dismiss it just like he dismisses anything not relating to "ORANGE MAN BAD! REEEE! " and "REPUBLICANS BAD REEEE! "

Exactly.

He's learned well from You-Know-Who.

In all fairness, every Democrat in America needs to be in a mental institution.

Horrendous candidates. Lies. Coverups.

Your democrat party.

Agreed.

I would not be surprised if Talarico was, in fact, hospitalized.

Nor would I be surprised if this story is complete BS.

Not total BS. He DID disappear for 12 days with no explanation.

As I understand it, Talarico's aides claim his absence was because he had a severe case of the flu, T-A. So there seemingly was, in fact, an explanation. But I would not be surprised one bit if that explanation is complete garbage and the man is, indeed, suffering mental illness.

And, as noted, I would not be surprised if the explanation being circulated by the political right — that Talarico was absent from the campaign trail to receive mental health treatment — is total BS.

I don't trust either the hard left or the hard right — with anything. Both sides are dishonest, cutthroat and willing to cheat and lie so as to win. And I definitely don't trust either Talarico's camp or Paxton's camp specifically regarding this matter. Both would lie if necessary.

Unfortunately, I am not sure anyone will be all that surprised. Even his supporters.

Quote:Sortor’s allegation depended on a recording purportedly capturing a telephone conversation with an employee at the Lindner Center of Hope.
Amacher said the calls took place on the evening of October 10. In the recording circulated by the influencers, the purported employee appears to say that the patient in question was discharged that evening.
But the Texas Tribune had already reported on October 9 that Talarico was back on the campaign trail after recovering from the flu.
Talarico was also publicly appearing in Austin around the time of the supposed hospital discharge, including an appearance at Austin City Limits music festival with concert-goers on October 9 and with musician Kacey Musgraves on October 10.

Oh look Talarico was at a Hawkeyes game and not a Hawks game.

Yep. I was right. Gitanole and other leftists are dismissing this.

Even if it were true what does it prove? That conservatives want to vilify mental health but vote for PDFs. Good job holding the line.

If the flu thing was true, X, he would've gotten better soon than he allegedly did.

But hey, keep dismissing the real story. It's rather typical of you and your fellow leftists.

Lindner Center or Hope and the Democrats are denying this. Seems awfully random that the story is he was admitted there, although that randomness adds credence IMHO. My guess is he was checked in under a pseudonym and all sorts of NDAs were signed, so there will be no way to prove it.
