Governor Greg Abbott says the Democrat who's running for US Senate against Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton is a serial liar.
James Talerico, who's running for incumbent Republican John Cornyn's Senate seat, says he's against new taxes, but Governor Abbott takes exception to Talerico's assertion.
"He voted to raise taxes in Texas including property taxes, he voted for an income tax for Texas, he is a liar about everything he is saying," the governor added.
Talarico has been joined by billionaire Mark Cuban, who appeared with the senate candidate at a fundraiser in Fort Worth on Saturday.
Gov. Abbott said Friday on Fox's Will Cain Show that Tallarico "is a pathological liar, and has been lying though the whole campaign, and he's been able to get away with it because he's been able to run these fake TV ads, that are full of lies and are only now being exposed."
