James Talarico Changes His Flu Story While Denying Mental Hospital Rumors

Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico is speaking publicly again after a two-week hiatus. In interviews with NBC and MS Now, Talarico said he had been dealing with the flu while denying reports that he was admitted to a mental-health facility in Ohio.

“I just had the flu,” Talarico said. He also insisted that he was feeling better after the unexplained absence, which had prompted speculation online.

The Gateway Pundit had previously reported an allegation that Talarico was admitted to the Lindner Center of HOPE in Mason, Ohio. According to that report, an employee at the facility allegedly confirmed during a recorded phone call that Talarico had been “just discharged.”
