Former Texas Court of Criminal Appeals Judge Elsa Alcala, a longtime Republican, typically avoids politics on social media but broke that practice on Monday to denounce President Donald Trump, “for my own conscience,” she wrote on Facebook.
Trump “is the worst president in the history of this country,” said her Facebook post. The president has an ideology of racism, the judge wrote, adding she couldn’t say anything positive that would absolve Trump of his “rotten core.” “I have been thinking about this for years and I hoped things would get better but they never did,” Alcala told Texas Lawyer. “I did not want an ‘R’ next to my name anymore.”
In Texas, judicial races are partisan, meaning that judges campaign as Republicans or Democrats. Repeated efforts over many years to reform the judicial election system and do away with partisanship have failed.
Alcala’s Facebook post comes in the wake of Trump’s tweets this week that said a group of Democratic lawmakers—all women of color—hould go back where they came from. Trump alleged they hated America. Tuesday evening, the U.S. House plans to vote on a resolution to condemn the president’s tweets as “racist language.”
In her post, Alcala urged readers not to “tell me to go back where I came from,” because she was born in the United States, and her family has resided in Texas since before it became part of the Union.
“I spent 29 years in government service to help the people of our country and I love our country and its people,” Alcala wrote. “I have given more to this country than the vast majority of people. What I know for sure is that we, as a country, are better than this.”

She is a former judge. I also doubt her Republicanism.
Is the judge guilty...or not ?
Was she ever really a Republican to begin with. I say not.
Spiritual daughter of Ana Navarro...
She was always a Democrat.
WHO CARES?
She was always a leftist.
5-1 says she voted for Hillary.
If a liberal Republican denounces Trump in the forest, will anybody hear a bear shitting on her?
Well, bye. Never heard of you, but hasta la vista anyway.
These phonies are unmasking themselves.
Of course you did, you squalid racist puta. You are an obscenity. Got your la raza dues all paid up, don't you.

“In her post, Alcala urged readers not to “tell me to go back where I came from,” because she was born in the United States”

I have given more to this country than the vast majority of people.
Wow, we’ll have to let our dear military and LEOs know about this. You know, the ones who make DAILY and ultimate sacrifices, for their country...you arrogant witch.
Adios lame ass.
Maybe Will Hurd will follow her out of the GOP.
