The Republican-led Texas House on Saturday impeached highly popular Attorney General Ken Paxton.
Ken Paxton was impeached by the Republican-led House (85 Rs to 64 Ds) and will be suspended effective immediately.
The vote tally: 121 ayes – 23 nays – 2 ‘present not voting’
For final removal, it would require a 2/3 vote in the senate.
A Texas House Committee full of RINOs on Thursday voted to recommend impeaching Ken Paxton after an investigation into his ‘corruption.’
The 20 articles include “bribery, unfitness for office and abuse of public trust” – according to the Associated Press.

Paxton recently made a cogent speech about the methods voter/election fraud. That broached a “verboten” subject and the Deep State wouldn’t have it.
I hope that the Senate has the good sense to pull this political attack back.
Disgusting. My congressman voted “aye.” What a sellout.
“bribery, unfitness for office and abuse of public trust”
I thought that these were REQUIREMENTS for public office…
This is just revenge of the Bush clan.
Paxton beat Jeb’s son out for the position. Jeb Jr is half Hispanic. He was being groomed to be the next white shoe RINO leader.
The Swamp strikes again.
He won because he had an R by his name just like every Republican statewide in Texas for the last 30 years. He is not highly popular, generic Republican would have done better.
