Victor Davis Hanson Notes That James Talarico Isn’t the Only Democrat Running for Office Who Has Recently Disappeared (VIDEO)

Everyone has been talking about James Talarico this week after he went missing for about twelve days. He finally resurfaced, but no explanation for his disappearance has been given.

Meanwhile, conservative historian and scholar Victor Davis Hanson is pointing out that Talarico is not the only Democrat running right now who has gone missing.

Has anyone seen California governor candidate Xavier Becerra lately?

Transcript via the Daily Signal:

Sami Winc: Well, let’s turn to the California governor’s race, and Steve Hilton is closing the gap, which was a huge gap.

Victor Davis Hanson: It was an internal poll, but it might be correct.

Sami Winc: Yes. And Xavier Becerra has angered the Latino community because he’s been pushing the lie that his own parents were immigrants, and his father, we’ve all found out, was actually born in Sacramento. And yes, he did go back and forth between Mexico and California, but nonetheless, he was born an American.

So the immigrant story has really angered the Latino community.

Victor Davis Hanson: Everything he said is untrue. He said he had nothing to do with losing, what, three hundred thousand people when he was [Health and Human Services Secretary]. He couldn’t even find them, right?

And then, I watched that debate, and he canceled. He just walked out of the second debate. He’s not gonna debate. It was all scheduled the day before. I think it was supposed to be tonight. He just canceled.

His advisors came to him and said, obviously, we looked at the tapes, Xavier, and you got slaughtered. You’re just a sphinx. You just sit there quiet, and then you turn to him and say, “Trump, Trump, Trump.” And then you get your little racist tidbit in, and you said you’re just wanting to get people into the country that only look like you. And then you don’t mention anything about your record or defend it. You have no idea what you want to do as governor. You can’t give an answer on high-speed rail. You can’t get [an answer] on the water bond we haven’t used. You don’t know about the homeless. You don’t know how to stop the fires.

And then he, I guess he says, yeah, but people in California don’t vote for the people. They just look at their little ballot and they say D, and 60 to 65% of the state, so they punch it. And that means to them, the SEIU and the teachers union and all these people are gonna get me more money, whether I’m a government employee and I work for the state in some fashion, or a school district, and I’m gonna get more money. And there’s all these fat cats that can pay me more money.

Here’s the video:

Victor Davis Hanson: Becerra and Talarico Are Taking a Page from the Kamala Harris Playbook

In California, Xavier Becerra canceled his second debate and is banking on union-driven mail ballots to overcome a tightening race with Steve Hilton.
