Texas AG Paxton endorses primary challengers to state GOP House members who voted to impeach him

Texas Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton on Friday announced his first round of 2024 state House endorsements – all of them for primary opponents of incumbents who voted to impeach him.

"Texas conservatives have seen their State House hijacked by liberal RINO Republicans for far too long," Paxton wrote in a statement posted to X. "Texas should be a leading beacon for conservative policies. Instead, Texas has had to watch a liberal House Speaker and his loyalists kill hundreds of pieces of conservative legislation that would unleash untold economic growth and secure even more freedom."

Paxton was referring to Texas GOP House Speaker Dan Phelan who led the proceeding to impeach him earlier this year. He endorsed his primary opponent, former Orange County GOP Chairman David Covey.

If you decide to attack the king, you better kill him. Paxton has a lot of Texans backing him.

Ted Cruz should have pushed this when he became Senator.
His best move now is to join in to fix TX

He ought to call for Democrats to primary the Democrats in the Texas House of Representatives who voted to impeach him.

My rep is one of the ones he mentioned to be tossed-good riddance...

I just love the sound of Karma biting Rinos in the ass...

I’d rather Ted do his job as a senator and leave the Texas government figure it out. They will.

And rightfully so! They HAD to know this was coming when they didn’t “kill” him.
