Barry Johnson tells FOX 44 News that he is switching political parties as he runs for 19th District Court Judge.

Currently, Republican Thomas West holds that position. West announced in October that he plans to run for re-election.

Johnson was a Republican when he held the position of McLennan County District Attorney. During the 2022 Republican Primary, Johnson lost his re-election bid to Josh Tetens, who is the current district attorney.

When FOX 44 News asked why he switched political parties, Johnson said there is no longer room in the Republican party for a moderate.

It goes deeper than that. Power corrupts and this guy will apparently do anything to gain more power.

“Johnson said there is no longer room in the Republican party for a moderate.”

Oh how I wish that were true.

There were three people on Morning Joe this morning who were suppose to be Republicans against abortion in Florida - but one clip showed the interviewer saying 'You're going to register Republican, right'?

It looked like one of those, "I've been a Republican my whole life BUT.... and then followed by the trash of Republicans - by people who are really democrats.

Could have been a mistake by the person editing the tape. Anyhow looks like three democrats lying about who they really are....
