HOUSTON \u2014 Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick on Friday said Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate Rep. James Talarico will \u201cgo to hell\u201d for his interpretations of the Bible, as Talarico has made his Christian faith a cornerstone of his campaign.<\/p>

Speaking at the Republican Party of Texas\u2019 convention in Houston, Patrick accused Talarico, an Austin state representative, of introducing faith into the contentious Senate race, expected to be expensive and brutal as Democrats seek to capitalize on anti-Trump sentiment to claim the minority party\u2019s first statewide victory in more than three decades. <\/p>

“It’s James Talarico who decided to bring the Bible into this election. And let me tell you, that’s not a Bible I’ve ever read. I’ve never seen so much blasphemy from anyone running for office,\u201d Patrick said to an uproar of applause. \u201cLet me tell you what, I’m going to pray for that guy, because when he loses the Senate race, if he campaigns against God as he’s been doing, he’s going to Hell, for sure. That’s what we’re up against. That’s the darkness. That’s the light. That’s why we must be one.”<\/p>

In a statement Friday evening, Talarico responded saying that Patrick had “sold out the poor, the sick, and the vulnerable to enrich his donors” for decades.<\/p>

“Love feels like blasphemy when you worship power,” Talarico wrote in a social media post.<\/p>

Attorney General Ken Paxton, Talarico’sgeneral election opponent, also spoke at the convention.<\/p>

A GOP leader, Patrick has also been a staunch advocate for Christian values \u2014 often championing proposed legislation as the presiding officer of the Texas Senate that historically failed in the Texas House until recent victories, like requiring the display of Ten Commandments in public schools.<\/p>

President Trump also tapped Patrick, a close ally, to lead the Presidential Religious Liberty Commission tasked with drafting policy proposals regarding religious freedom.<\/p>
