Claimant: Ken Paxton’s campaign
Claim: James Talarico said Jesus was a “radical feminist” and that Jesus never asked people to worship him.
Rating: MISLEADING
Explanation: Talarico did use both phrases, but the ad omitted the broader context of his remarks. He was arguing that Jesus emphasized love of neighbor, care for vulnerable people and opposition to religious supremacy, rather than making the statements in isolation as portrayed in the campaign ad.
