Embattled Senate candidate Ken Paxton is begging voters to ignore audio leaks of him trashing Donald Trump that have helped throw his campaign into crisis. "Just because they were able to clip a few things doesn't mean that's actually what I meant," the Texas attorney general, 63, told Fox News on Sunday. He started by trying to assure his potential constituents that he is, actually, very fond of the 80-year-old president. "I have supported President Trump, I love President Trump," he said. "He's been out working extremely hard to help me get elected, and I really appreciate him. He's done a great job as president." Paxton's campaign is reeling after he was caught out by at least five embarrassing leaked audio recordings from a single D.C. fundraiser in late September. The first leak shows him bashing Trump's appearance at that month's Republican Midterm Convention in Dallas for supposedly damaging the candidate's standing with voters. |
