Robocall 'Smear' Accuses Texas GOP Candidate of Murdering Husband
Fox News ^ | 4/30 | Houston Keene

It is unclear who paid for the attacks in the race which features 23 candidates

A mysterious robocall targeted the widow of the late Rep. Ron Wright, R-Texas with what her allies are calling a "criminal smear," accusing her of murdering her husband and claiming her campaign for Congress is a cover-up.

Susan Wright is a candidate in the special election for Texas’ 6th Congressional District, where she is the frontrunner to replace her late husband. Her campaign learned of the robocalls accusing her of killing her spouse on Friday, one day before the primary election.

I did a quick look at her pic and found that every woman named Susan Wright who has ever made the news is guilty as hell.

It’s not a primary but a special election and then a special election runoff.

The primary is tomorrow, Saturday. It is a jungle primary with 23 candidates. There will be a Runoff if no one gets 50%

Donald Trump endorsed Susan Wright.
