Explaining the rift between Texas AG Ken Paxton and House Speaker Dade Phelan

[@lindagibbs428]

I hope that he is voted out of office

[@steadman_walking2866]

Ken Paxton should have been in prison years ago

[@khawmtiti4460]

He's a Trump dog whisper how can he be in jail when Trump is not

[@Whatguy11]

How is our AG not in jail at this point? Like legitimately we've known he's been openly corrupt for YEARS!

[@bsb1975]

It gets even better. One of issues being considered is whether the state should pay $3 million to Ken Paxton's accusers as part of a settlement against Paxton. The state should not have to pick up the tab for Paxton's white collar crimes. He should be impeached.

[@scarpfish]

Corrupt people who keep voting for him would be my guess.

[@Knuckles549]

Tribalism. Texans would rather see a shady Republican in office than a Democrat, He won his race by over 10% margin nobody had a chance to beat him.

DISGUSTING

[@lindagibbs428]

White privilege

[@nikkibradbury4899]

dade was drunk as all get out up there. That's insane.

[@boss-ih6uk]

How is it possible for the state to pay it for him

[@winslowbarger692]

Yes... Taxpayers will pay.

[@boss-ih6uk]

No we won't cause he's fired and Texas just saved 3 million! He shouldn't have put that kind of cost against his job. Oh well his wife is in congress too so they have enough to afford it on their own

[@winslowbarger692]

@@boss-ih6uk hopefully you're right. At this point he's suspended until the impeachment trail in August. If he's found guilty, he'll be out of a job. In order to do that, about half the republicans and all the democrats in the Senate will have to vote guilty. At least, that's how I understand the process.

[@PumpernickelBread25]

Phelan was drunk off his behind.

[@olliejones4082]

It is time for Republicans to to to jail.

[@Raider1836]

And take the Biden Crime Family with them! Jail for all cooked politicians! 🎉

[@freedomfighterletsgobrandon]

And for corrupt FJB and Robert Menendez. They belong into jail.

[@EdjieboaNova]

Paxton is to Highest Lawman in TX as Russia is to Highest Sec at United Nations. Dallas, TX

[@chrisoneill3999]

Voters knew he was dubious when they elected him. Or they should have.

[@boss-ih6uk]

Why did they vote him in again...smh. people see wrong doing and say nothing

[@Dancer-us5fu]

And you should know by now that he fixes the elections, including his own. He talked about it openly on TV, for Christs Sake 🙄
