Ken Paxton sat on the hospital board. Then he started pulling six-figure income from a cell tower on that same hospital's grounds. Just another "coincidence." It's just one source of his wealth--helps explain how he could afford to buy 11 real estate properties. He's corrupt as hell. 🤬

His own party impeached him for corruption.

That alone should have ended his career.

But now he is just the poster child for today's GOP....rolled up in corruption, bribes and pedophilia.

Bravo Texas...you got yourself a winner there.

Trump was voted in by MAGA, in substantial part, precisely because he was expected to be a nasty man.

I don't think MAGA has changed much, so of course Ken has a good chance.

Why does the GOP seem to prefer this type of candidate?

^Texas is the mist corrupt state in the country. And White Texas republicans are fine with that, because they align with Abbott's anti-abortion, anti-pubic education, White Nationalist views.
