Rainn Wilson is defending Texas Senate candidate James Talarico's Christianity — and taking aim at the Democrat's Republican critics in the process.
The former Office star, 60, said Talarico's brand of faith is "achingly close" to that of Jesus Christ, during the Thursday, August 20 episode of his podcast, Soul Boom, according to a report Fox News Digital published on August 23.

Wilson made the comments alongside New York Times journalist Ezra Klein, and the pair accused Texas GOP Senate candidate Ken Paxton and his supporters of hypocrisy for repeatedly attacking Talarico, 37, despite their own "aggressively professed Christianity," the outlet reported.
"Whenever I watch these attacks, I think, 'You all would have hated Jesus Christ,'" Klein, 42, said, as reported by Fox News Digital. "You would have found him to be the most annoying, weepy, worrying about the wrong people — the outsiders, the outcasts."
