Emily Compagno Calls Texas Senate Candidate James Talarico a “Demon in Human Skin”

Fox News contributor Emily Compagno erupted on the show “Outnumbered,” labeling Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico a “demon in human skin.” She accused him of anti‑business, anti‑Texas positions and referenced his prior remarks about gender and the national flag.

Talarico, a state representative, secured the Democratic nomination in March and now faces embattled Republican Ken Paxton, who is under multiple criminal and ethics investigations. A recent New York Times/Siena poll showed the race deadlocked at 47 percent for each candidate, with Talarico leading among independents and Hispanic voters. The incident sparked a response from Talarico’s campaign, which said the candidate is “in fact a human, not a demon.”
