Texas AG Paxton steps in it on 2020 election, employee lawsuit. Had enough yet, GOP?
Ryan J. Rusak, Fort Worth Star-Telegram
Ken Paxton has demonstrated, once again, that he’s a ticking time bomb for Texas Republicans.
The attorney general was in El Paso last week to announce a lawsuit against the Biden administration over border security. A woman in the crowd asked him about standing up to the “overthrow” of President Donald Trump in last year’s election. She used the term twice, to which Paxton said: “I agree with you.”
Not a good look for an official who brought an absurd lawsuit in which Texas tried to intervene in other states’ election laws on Trump’s behalf.
The U.S. Supreme Court rejected that idea without a hearing. Paxton suffered another legal blow last week, as a state appellate court declared that, despite the attorney general’s protestations, he is not above the law.
