What was said
"Why is a teacher texting a student at all? Why is a teacher texting a young girl student at midnight? And if this is what he put on Twitter, imagine what other conversations are happening."
A resurfaced 2013 tweet shows Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate James Talarico, then 24, texting with a 13-year-old former student at midnight on a Tuesday. The panel called it automatically disqualifying, noting Talarico himself posted the screenshot publicly with hashtags. Conservative operatives reportedly have extensive opposition research ready now that the Republican primary is settled.
