On Saturday, The Gateway Pundit reported that the Republican-led Texas House on Saturday impeached highly popular Attorney General Ken Paxton over allegations of misconduct.
The 20 articles of impeachment include “bribery, unfitness for office, and abuse of public trust.”
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.
Paxton said in a statement that the events that unfolded were illegal, unethical, and profoundly unjust. He expressed optimism for a swift resolution in the Texas Senate, where he believes the process will be fair and just.
On Saturday morning, President Trump warned Speaker Dade Phelan and the Texas RINOs that if this unfair process proceeds – “I WILL FIGHT YOU!”

Trumps right. The GOPe in Texas is wasting time trying to stop Paxton while their southern border is being eviserated.
Abbott is still trying to figure out which way the wind is blowing so he can take credit for it.
The Texas Governor is a RINO, notice no, or limited FAKE news coverage about him

121 to 23 is hardly a RINO Vote. Trump needs to mind his own business.
Does this mean Texas voters(gop) should have voted for P?
Paxton should be the next GOV. Are the gop-e nipping him in the bud? Inquiring minds want to know.
Cornyn reeds to be run out in the ‘26 primaries. Do the rats see blood in the water?
2 seats(gov/Senate) will be open. The rats can see a double whammy set-up and there’s 3+ years to prepare for it. Hint: they’re smarter than we are.
Missing in action? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black...
“Pfizer is under investigation by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton for deceptive practices and for possibly falsifying data. Both of these crimes are abundantly documented in the 500 pages of reports from the Pfizer documents compiled by our experts.”

Right, the 121 includes 64 rats.
Abott is missing on action on many things. Like protecting children from pedos.
No, you have no concept of Texas republican party. That is the Bush wing of the Republicans, and the Democrats combined. And the republican speaker of the house appointed Democrats to be the head of important committees, and that’s where this came from. Bush republican reaching across the aisle mentality. So maybe you need to stay out of it.
I agree. Is Abbott going to run for president in 2024? Sounds like a preemptive strike.
Seems to me Trump should be watching out for the line of women in heels who keep landing him in court.
Abbott is showing how much smarter he is than Trump.
Abbott knows Paxton is treading on thin ice. Yes, this is partisan politics on behalf of the democrats, but just like Trump...
A lot of Paxton’s problems are self inflicted.
Oh is that where this news broke - The Gateway Pundit.
Until this happened, I never gave a thought to the idea of Atty. Gen. Ken Paxton as a private citizen. I just saw him as one of the rare Republicans who would speak up about some Biden’s policies that clearly are not working to our benefit.
Most GOP seemed content to let people like Matt Gaetz, Josh Hawley, Rand Paul and Ted Cruz be among the few to put their statements out and risk not being ‘liked’ by the majority.
Where’s DeSantis? Probably doing what smart people do, trying to learn what this is all about before firing off any premature responses. Neither Abbot or Lt Gov Dan Patrick are supporting Paxton at this point that I can tell so maybe there’s something to it. He’s been accused of other scandals before so guess we’ll see. Trump is just out front because Paxton is the one who led the main election defense suit for him probably.
Seems to me Trump should be watching out for the line of women in heels who keep landing him in court.
No, Trump needs to be watching out for the deep state that has been targeting him for non-crimes, since 2016 - the same people who are now trying to take down Paxton.
Lines have been drawn. On one side are the victims of weaponized government and those of us who defend them from such abuses. On the other side are the weaponizers and those who defend them.
We’ll stated.
