Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has asked a state court clear the way for law enforcement officials to arrest Democrat Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke for allegedly violating a court order barring him from fundraising for the statehouse Democrats who fled Texas to delay the redistricting process for U.S. congressional seats in the state.
Paxton has filed a motion for contempt in court against O’Rourke, alleging that he violated a Tarrant County, Texas, judge’s order and therefore is subject to a fine of up to $500 and jail time of up to six months behind bars.
“Beto told me ‘to come and take,’ so I did and beat him in court. Now, he still thinks he’s above the law, so I’m working to put him behind bars,” Paxton said in a Tuesday morning statement provided to Breitbart News exclusively ahead of its public release. “Robert Francis flagrantly and knowingly violated the court order I secured that prevents him from raising funds and distributing any more Beto Bribes. He’s about to find out that running your mouth and ignoring the rule of law has consequences in Texas. It’s time to lock him up.” …

Pretty sure these kinds of laws don’t apply to Democrats.

Works for me. 👍👍👍
The sooner the better.
Yep, when was the last time you read where a Dem was jailed for a crime? Besides, being stupid isn’t a crime for them.
Acting like an idiot punk ought to be. O’Rouke is a complete embarrassment.
Why do we reinforce his wannabe-hispanic fantasy? Call him by his actual name: Robert Francis O’Rourke.
As Mexican as Red Lobster.
Yeah, to himself (which he doesn’t recognize) and to the Dem party.

Robert Mendez
James Trafficant
Those are the only two I can think of.
Francis screams for attention and they keep giving it to him for they love kicking his a$$ when he runs for office.
Poor guy named Francis chose Beto to replace his name and steal some of Bevo’s thunder.

Mmm, yeah, those two - forgot about them. I guess it’s because they weren’t all that noticeable. Now Schiff and his ilk, yeah.
To quote ol’ Beto: “Who cares about the f******g rules right now?!”
We do, tool. We do.
What does the Texas Supreme Court say about the Dims being removed for abandoning their seats? That’s what I want to see.
That’s right. Lock beto up.
“”fine of up to $500 and jail time of up to six months behind bars.””
Make the fine LARGER and the penalty LONGER!!!! Get his attention!
Ain’t it great that the demonrats opens this “arrest them” door?
He illustrates the term “loose cannon” perfectly. I’m for any legal way to force him to burn through more of his father-in-law’s money as long as it will shut him up for at least a little while. You have to wonder what is wrong with Beto’s wife that her father is willing to spend his fortune to keep her married to such an embarrassing loon...
For me, he’s up there with Newsom and Mamdani in terms of repulsive affect.
He does have a lot in common with Newsom in demeanor and affect, but Newsom is more polished and clever-Beto is loudmouthed and totally lacks discipline...
The infamous Frito Banbeto is making his won rules. Lock his butt up!
