I especially noticed the one about how electing Talarico was a danger to everything his supporters believed in, using the trans and children endangered lies that Trump did. Which is funny considering Trump was a close friend of Epstein. Talarico needs to do what Democrats are usually hesitant to do -- kick him back just as hard. But the good thing here is he won't have to lie to do it.
