Steve Toth, a hard-line conservative Texas state representative, defeated Representative Dan Crenshaw in a close-fought Republican primary on Tuesday that will sweep from the House a former Navy SEAL who has occasionally broken with fellow Republicans, according to The Associated Press.

Gee, ya think the Old Grey Whoore is maybe pushing an agenda a bit much?
He is going to miss his insider trading. What a shame.
That’s an awesome meme! :)

Cornyn is toast. During runoffs like this, only the most radical voters participate. In this race, for Republicans, it’s obviously Paxton’s people. Also, from the Democrat side, the radicals already voted in the Democrat Primary and thus CANNOT vote in Republican runoffs.
🙏🙏🙏
That makes sense. Thank you.
Bye bye to the Rand Paul of the House
Dig the pic but it’s AI. Her butt’s bigger.
“Occasionally broken with fellow Republicans”. Ha! More like very occasionally broken with fellow rinos.
Did he see this event coming?
Goodbye to the WEF/Globalist agent from Texas.
