What specifically makes Texas house Republicans “RINOS”?? Are they passing socialist budgets....restricting guns...promoting LBGTQ+ agendas?
You can’t just say they’re RINOS just for going after Paxton. The charges are very specific and non-partisan in nature.
One of the key figures attends my church.
He told me that parents obtaining surgery to mutilate their children in transgenderism are to be supported.
He also said that local Texas GOP volunteers are worthless in an online post and need to be gotten rid of.
It is pretty obvious.
He also did receive a lot of financial support from Phelan which certainly looks as if it was a bought vote.
Moreover, the charges brought by the House were:
1. Not rendered into a written vote.
2. Did not allow or pursue evidence opposing the charges.
3. Did not contact or allow comment from Paxton or any Paxton representative
4. Were rushed through on a Saturday afternoon vote during Memorial Day weekend.
5. No prior notice was given to constituents about the idea of impeaching the Attorney General of Texas
6. Phelan was criticized around the time of the charges by Paxton for being publicly inebriated. It seems clear that Phelan retaliated to that charge by bringing these charges.
7. Even some Democrats refused to vote for the House charges.
