George P. Bush: Democrat will be elected Texas attorney general if Paxton is GOP candidate

Texas Attorney General candidate George P. Bush (R) warned on Sunday that a Democrat would be elected to the role if incumbent Ken Paxton (R) won the Republican nomination again.

“This time around he will not win, because he’s facing corruption and bribery charges. Imagine having a Democrat AG with a Democrat president and what that means for Texas politics,” Bush, the son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R), said during “Lone Star Politics,” a Sunday political show, according to The Dallas Morning News.

Paxton is mired in several cases, including one that spans back to 2015 when a grand jury indicted him on one count of failing to register with state's securities board and two charges of securities fraud.

Paxton for his part has claimed that the allegations are politically motivated and that he has not committed any wrongdoing, the Texas Tribune reported.

“He’s now in year seven of this trial. And if he’s as innocent as he proclaims, then he needs to sit down for a jury trial in front of his fellow peers here in the state of Texas and be evaluated, which he has refused to do now for seven years,” Bush said during the show, according to the news outlet.

Texas deserves better. We need a new attorney who is above reproach, not facing criminal indictment, & will serve the people of Texas.

Ken Paxton has failed in doing this. Watch my interview on Lone Star Politics to hear my priorities. https://t.co/qgHyRgTSon— George P. Bush (@georgepbush) November 8, 2021

Ken Paxton is awesome!!! WHAT would you do differently??? You’ve never answered!! All you can do is bad mouth him but you have nothing to back it up on!! Give us a platform of your own without mentioning Ken Paxton .— Donna (@Donna0125) November 8, 2021

Let’s go Bushes!

Bush League Republicans ARE Democrats.

Don’t let the R jersey fool you.

A good candidate has to believe he will be successful in a general election. Sometimes he has to assert to voters that he is the ONLY one who can prevail in November. It is the way of things.

The Hill is soooo hopeful.

[Stingray51]

Corrupt Texas D.A.’s have a long history of indicting their political opponents on trumped up charges, just like they did with Rick Perry

[joe fonebone]

No bushes..
Not now..
Not ever..

I would rather have a democommie than a bush league chamber of commerce worshipping republiCAN’T...

Traitors cannot be trusted

This Texian has posted several times on this topic. He will vote for Paxton in the primary.

If P wins the primary, this Texian will vote D in November.

It is time that clan left politics forever. No more Bushes.

Doesn’t this Bush twerp have anything better to do? Like consoling Aunt-in-law Laura over the trauma of being called an “old maid” in 1977??

[TLI]

“This time around he will not win, because he’s facing corruption and bribery charges.

Which the progs that did it will not let the trial proceed.

It is the only thing they have and Ken can swat any such argument down in a heartbeat.

Without that the progs have nothing.

F U Bush

[crusty old prospector]

Louie Gohmert says he will throw his hat in the ring if he can raise $1,000,000 over the next month.

Ken Paxton is a GREAT attorney general. All this crap has been thrown at him by George P. Bush’s DemonRat buddies. We might as well have a DemonRat as a Bush.

[nagant]

I won’t vote for the Democrat and I won’t vote for Bush. But I repeat myself.

Useful idiot, other than the useful part.
