Colin Allred discusses his clash with James Talarico, campaign for 33rd Congressional District

Published | Video Starts at 02:16

I would never attack him on the basis of race. How do you respond to that? Well, I think that he did not deny saying what was said. And I spoke with the young woman who was said to, and I believe her, and she was not a supporter of mine. She's a supporter of his [Talarico]. We should remember that. And it would not have been upsetting to her to hear a commentary on a campaign, it was the formulation of the race and also talking specifically about me, that was what upset her. (02:16–02:23)

CLAIM

Asserts that the young woman who reported the comment supports Talarico, not Allred.
