Why would Talarico let us mess up so badly? What is he hiding?

This is their whole playbook. Spend 3 days straight calling James Talarico a liar and spreading that hospital rumor to every Facebook group in Texas, then when the NYT pulls the time-stamped security footage that proves he was never even there, they go "well why didn't HE debunk it faster?" They are never going to apologize. The damage is the point.

And if he had debunked it faster, they would have said it’s unverified, and you can’t believe his campaign without verification.

"It's suspicious how fast his team was to silence this."
