In the end, Paxton was fully cleared by Senate Republicans, who serve alongside his wife, state Sen. Angela Paxton.

How did Texas have such a lop-sided vote in their house of representatives???
Because the house is infested with RINO’s which we voted in due to the BS they were spewing that we accepted as truth.
Nothing but a bunch of con artists that take advantage of the ignorant and uninformed.
Deep dives should be done on anybody running for an office of public trust. This nonsense has gone on for entirely too long and look at the result.... corruption and graft at practically every level of all governments.
Yours is the only logical explanation.
