THE SENATE RACE IN TEXAS IS GETTING INTERESTING

 


Convicted felon, Donald Trump, proudly endorsed indicted felon, Ken Paxton for Texas Senate.

(Again, can anyone imagine if former President Obama had been involved in this shameful situation? This is why so many Americans label this disgrace as "White Privilege." Why do these two people get a pass, when we absolutely know Conservatives would be in paroxysms of fury if Mr. Obama did this?)





Ken Paxton beat long-time Republican Senator John Cornyn after Trump endorsed Paxton in Texas's recent primary.

And why not?

Paxton is the perfect embodiment of what the once proud Republican Party has become with Trump as its leader:

Venal and unprincipled.

(As well as a refuge for antisemites, xenophobic isolationists, Nazis, white nationalists, and extreme fundamentalist Christians who do not believe in the separation of their religion and government, as is set out in the US Constitution. Have I left anything out?)

Hmmm. Decisions, decisions.  Which way will the good people of Texas vote with these two men?

Stay tuned.





Oh, and there's this disgusting leniency Paxton gifted to a convicted pedophile after he, Adam Hoffman, was found guilty of sexually assaulting a young boy:

"A convicted child sexual abuser who received leniency from Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office was released after just 30 days in a McLennan County jail, KWTX reported. 

Former Waco attorney Adam Hoffman walked free on good behavior halfway through his 60-day sentence for sexually abusing a child, according to the outlet. 

Hoffman’s case sparked bipartisan criticism of Paxton after prosecutors in his office allowed the abuser to plead down his charges following a deadlocked jury and the victim’s unwillingness to testify again." --Daily Caller







At this point, why would anyone, in good conscience, want to be associated with the Republican Party?

I don't know, Paxton's record certainly rival's that of Tallarico's former "mediocre black man" opponent... jes sayin'!

Joe Conservative said...

...and if Tallarico refuses to "judge" his campaign contributors (unless they're SuperPACs), that why should TX voters care what crimes Paxton may, or may not, have committed?

No one with even a modicum of self respect and a conscience would be associated with the trump or his egregiously corrupt administration.

A point I would like to make.

Antisemitism, meaning hate for the Jewish people and their religion as in Nazism and Hitler is unquestionably revolting and needs to be denounced unequivocally. However, disdain for, disrespect for, and revulsion for the actions of the Zionist state of Isreal and its genocide of Palestinians is a righteous position, Shaw.

That has no bearing on anything posted here. It's just your typical way of inserting inane "whataboutisms." Tallarico's Black opponent, AFAIK, was Representative Jasmine Crockett, an intelligent woman, and definitely NOT mediocre.

There is NO comparison between what you insinuate and what Paxton was actually indicted and impeached for! LOL! Tallirico must have MAGA worried. Imagine that! The Democrats put up a decent human being to oppose Paxton, and MAGA is going bonkers! I love it!

There are Orthodox Jews and Rabbis in New York who are anti-Zionists and anti-Netanyahu. I don't think people would consider them antisemites. Your point is correct.

My friends in Europe are not anti-American, they ARE, however, anti-MAGA /TRUMP . My father and mother were born in Italy. They loved their country, but hated Mussolini.
