He has not posted any statements or reflections about 9\/11 or its meaning, and his campaign appears to treat the day as a non-event. A recent Houston Public Media show briefly discussed 9\/11 but shifted focus to Donald Trump and Kimmel towards the end. Talarico shared a late-afternoon YouTube video on issues like insulin costs but offered no explicit commentary on 9\/11, only a cautious Instagram post referencing &#8220;the lives lost.&#8221; he seems to avoid engaging with the anniversary\u2019s deeper meaning, and his campaign did not address the day directly.
