Paxton Praises Traitor Mob Who Attacked US Capitol

During an interview with talk show host Mark Davis earlier today, Ken Paxton again defiled his office and abandoned all sense of decency by praising traitor protestors who included rioters who attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, saying “I was there. They were just amazing people.”

Stark, undeniable video evidence of the criminal mob storming the U.S. Capitol, beating police officers and calling for the deaths of the Vice President and the House Speaker has played before millions of Americans and burned the traitorous insurrection into our memories, creating an indelible stain on American history.

All along, Ken Paxton has disgraced his office and our state by filing phony and frivolous lawsuits promoting the Big Lie of election fraud when, in reality, the only legitimate charge of illegality surrounding Paxton is his own criminal indictment.

Now, Paxton is joining Trump sycophants in Congress who are denying truth and trying to rewrite history by claiming that the traitors who attacked our Capitol are something different than the violent mob video evidence confirms them to be.

There is a second criminal investigation for bribery that is tied to the dismissal of eight or nine employees at the attorney general's office.

It also looks like George P. Bush (current land commissioner) might oppose Paxton in the 2022 AG race.

Of course his gall is unmitigated. He can say whatever the hell he wants to, and get away with it.

Texas has five anti-Democracy traitors in charge: cornyn, patrick, paxton, abbott, and cruz.
And someone...............not me..............keeps saying Texas will turn blue.
Not in my lifetime.
As long as the willfully ignorant voters keep voting in republican traitors, like the five I've mentioned, Texas will never turn blue.

... like Hawley, his commitment limited to the parking lot outside?

I'd like to know how he got to Washington DC: tourist or first-class or private jet (and who's private jet?) Who paid for it - tax payers, Paxton, or "contributions"?

Who paid for the hotel and meals?

You know, voter due diligence questions.

....by this traitor numbskull. He's spouting off this crap because there is zero chance of any blowback. Talk about a lily, white, ivory tower the racists have built for themselves down there. Florida and DeSatan as well.
