| “ | Talarico’s positions are discordant with many other Christians, progressive or conservative. ... Talarico has received tens of thousands of dollars from a political action committee (PAC) backed by GOP megadonor Miriam Adelson. Although Adelson is perhaps best known for her Israel advocacy, her and her late husband’s wealth is tied up in casinos.[1] | ” |
