The DNC called Stephen Miller an "ugly f**k" on national social media – and he made them pay for it on live television.
Now Texas Democrats are going to be feeling the sting of his response for the rest of this campaign.
Miller just went on Jesse Watters Primetime and swarmed their Senate nominee with insults virtually no candidate could survive being said in front of the entire country.
Stephen Miller Calls Talarico Democrats' First Transgender Senate Candidate on Jesse Watters Primetime
The ambush started Wednesday on social media.
Miller posted that Texas Democrats had made history by nominating their "first transgender Senate candidate" – a direct shot at Talarico's well-documented support for trans ideology and his past statements about gender.
The DNC responded by calling Miller an "ugly f**k."
That was a mistake.
Miller showed up on Jesse Watters Primetime Thursday night and unloaded.
"Very bold – one could even say brave, courageous – that the Democratic Party would choose Texas of all places to nominate their first transgender Senate candidate," Miller said, leaning into the sarcasm.
Then he went further.
"You know when Talarico goes in for a blood test and gets a physical, blood doesn't come out. Instead, soy milk comes out."
Miller wasn't finished.
"This man has less testosterone than Jasmine Crockett."
For context: Crockett is the progressive congresswoman Talarico beat in the Democratic primary – a race where Talarico spent months quoting Scripture and calling for a "politics of love" while Crockett spent the same months hammering Republicans on national television.

Miller Says Talarico Has Less Testosterone Than Jasmine Crockett and Soy Milk in His Veins
Miller turned the knife by invoking what Texas actually is.
"I have a hard time believing that the people of Texas – some of the toughest, roughest, strongest men and women, the pioneer heritage, the frontier history, from the Mexican-American war through the Alamo and everything else – are gonna choose somebody with that much soy to be a U.S. Senator."
Then he named the contrast every conservative in Texas needed to hear.
"Compared to a real conservative, patriotic, God-fearing, and truly beloved statewide figure in Ken Paxton."
Paxton crushed John Cornyn in Tuesday's Republican runoff – winning 63.8% of the vote after Trump endorsed him one week before Election Day.
That kind of lopsided victory, against a four-term incumbent senator, doesn't happen unless Republican voters are fired up.
And Miller just poured gasoline on that fire.
The Texas Senate Race 2026 Just Became the DNC's Most Expensive Mistake
Here's what the national media won't tell you.
Talarico won the Democratic primary by positioning himself as the unity candidate – a seminary-trained state rep who built his campaign around Christian faith and a message that Democrats are "done being divided."
Republicans looked at that and saw exactly what Miller described on national television.
Ken Paxton built his entire career the opposite way – as a fighter who spent years leading the national legal charge against Biden's border crisis and woke corporate America.
The contrast couldn't be sharper.
Texas hasn't sent a Democrat to the U.S. Senate since 1988.
Talarico's campaign claims it raised $3 million in 24 hours after Paxton won the runoff – which tells you everything about how much outside money Democrats are planning to pour into a state they've been trying to flip for years.
But money doesn't change the culture of a state where the Alamo isn't just history – it's identity.
Stephen Miller said it out loud Thursday night.
The rest of Texas already knew it.
