#NBCNews #Texas #Impeachment
Finally 👏
1:02 ‘…political donor…’ Y does ‘Murica have this open ‘political donations’ and to a larger extent ‘lobbying’ system and then get apprised at 💩 like this? 🙄 “He who has the gold makes the rules.”
I have to struggle, to not express my true feelings about that “man.” YOUTUBE would pause my access.
I don’t think he’s even human!
Finally 👋
Corruption throughout our government.
OMG, its all political. BS
INDICTED-TXAG-KEN-PAXTON.. 7 years of this crook evading JUSTICE.
#LockThemAllUp
Weird how the BIDEN’S can take MILLIONS from foreign agents but he isn’t impeached 🤦
Politicians and lawyers are the worst.
Really don’t understand why these politicians can’t do the jobs their elected to do or why people keep voting them back into office when they see they’re too busy lining their pockets to get the job done. Also blaming the opposition party when you’re caught dead to rights is getting real old.
Elections are intentionally made to be prohibitively expensive to run. This allows the ruling class to preselect candidates for the public to choose from.
That would solve a whole lot of problems…
If he were a Democrap, he’d be in the White House. Texas RINOs Vote to Recommend Impeaching AG Ken Paxton – The Lone GOP Politician Fighting Against Democrat Election Fraud in the Lone Star State.
And incarcerate many on child support
Cons are cons, war criminals (like Bush who admitted it) and terrorists.
Finally he is so corrupt Ken Paxton all these politicians think they’re above the law blue red it doesn’t matter they take money from us
Nowadays Republican or Democrat you have to support him so much then you condone their illegal behavior as both sides steal millions from the American people
Paxton, needs to be ended.
Enough is enough.
More republicans lying to people, I’m sick of republicans projecting and telling their base that democrats are to blame! SMH..
VOTE BLUE 💙
Why am I not surprised.
Because you love koolaid
@Christopher Cope MAGA Bannon is going to prison. Trump is getting more indictments and DeSantis got owned by a mouse.
@Christopher No, it’s because I’ve learned how to spot a crook. It’s a skill you might want to develop as well.
@AdamESD it’s all relative
@Christopher simpleton
Justice is slow but it does prevail. Elmer Pudd got 18 years. Paxton will pay for his crimes and so will Trump.
You have TDS.
Just here to laugh at your Ukraine flag 😂
@Christopher Wave your loser flag ” Don’t poop on me”
Let me guess….republican?
My thoughts – exactly – Democrats escape justice.
@Andrew Johnson he’s a Republican that has escaped prison for years while being indicted. Could you be more of a hypocrite?
@Andrew Johnson,
Oh darling….stop.
@Andrew Johnson Cry little snowflake.
This is just so TEXAS I could spit. Sometimes I get so fed up with my home state.
Yet another hit job from lame-media.
Show the proofs of corruption, not the useless takes
Yet another lame comment from a cult member. Wouldn’t know truth if it slapped him in the face.
They literally just gave a run down of the situation, charges and accusations, there is no one to interview that’s defending him.
I’m suprised this didn’t happen sooner. Paxton has turned the AG office into a politcal tool of the GOP
AG and Governor Get rid of both.
Voting for a MAGA is like drinking battery acid, and people keep doing it.
NBC reporting on a hated republican. I don’t believe a single word of it. You did this.
Nice job Texans for reelecting your “best people.” Pathetic.
A bad workman always blames his tools. He blames democrats like all those who think they are above the law.
Democrats are tools. Good point
Abbott, Patrick, Paxton…all crooks.
Doesn’t Paxton represent what Texas represents?
Bribery?
@Billy Scenic
Proof?
Republicans will circle the wagons to protect LITERAL CRIMINALS in their party. But somehow feel the need to investigate everyone else.
Fun Fact: Paxton was continuously under an ethical cloud during his tenure, yet coasted to re-election, that’s MAGA politics for you.
Texas sucks all around. Not a good soul in that dead end state.
About time.
The House of Criminals!! What comes around goes around
He need to be prosecuted to the fullest just like the rest of these white supremacists republicans all across this United States of America these people. Are a threat to our democracy and our way of life?
Paxon is extremely corrupt and the great state of Texas deserves better.
It has been common knowledge for years that Ken Paxton has been abusing his power. and committing criminal acts repeatedly. The most disgusting aspect of this is that Paxton’s behavior was ignored byTexas voters repeatedly who re-elected this screwball over and over. It is all part of the larger reality that Republican voters embrace immorality and criminality in their political leaders consistently. No democracy can stand without commitment to the rule of law and this is particularly crucial for politicians charged with enforcing laws. Thanks to the complete lack of understanding of this basic concept by the GOP and their supporters, American democracy is on the verge of being replaced by a form of theocracy-based fascism. We get what we deserve and apparently we do NOT deserve a democracy because we the people lack the sense to vote in their own best interest.
It sure does take a lot for conservatives to hold their own to account.
@Seymour Butts what do you mean?
@Christopher I’m sorry 63 times. Figure it out for yourself .
@Seymour Butts got u figured out
@Christopher derp
@ChristopherI don’t think figuring stuff out is your strong point
This is what happens when you let democrats move to your red state. Keep them out of Texas. Democrats destroy everything they touch
RINOs
Prison
Republican. What do you expect. Everyone knew about this years ago, but right wing nut voters in Texas continue to vote for him.
What about prison
Ah Texas, drunk speaker of the house, criminal AG and guns for anyone who wants one no questions asked.
The pot calling the kettle black ….. hehehe.
It’s about time please get ride of PAX
Give the guy a pass. Republicans are gods party. See no wrong , hear no wrong
LOL Bannon going to prison. Trump getting more indictments. DeSantis getting owned by Disney. 18 year prison for Oath Keeper leader. McCarthy desperately trying to keep Santos in the House 🤣😂🤣😂 good times
I dare Abbot to pardon Paxton.
He is using the same GOP playbook as Trump er al. Witch hunt, against the will of the people, will destroy the country, RINOS, etc. its literally the same defense almost word for word. He is corrupt but the GOP colleagues will say nothing against him. This has been going on for oner 7 years and no accountability. He’ll be dead before they reach a verdict against him.
What! Ken = Crook; comes as a complete surprise!
IF he only showed up “under the influence” then, where’s the love? The second chance? The mercy for redemption?
Finally. Get that criminal out.
yeah, the democrat boogie man did it. How can anybody with a brain still vote red ?
Are there in the Republican Party at least one decent man? It seems that all republicans are on the take
A Red Dragon.
Every day there are political and non-political scandals involving Republicans, the GOP will destroy itself.
You’ve the biggest criminal in the White House. How about reporting on that than this little cookie here?
Sounds to me like sour grapes.
Wait the trump cult impeached one of their own? They have standards kow😮this is amazing 🎉
Just read in the news that one of the reasons Paxton was ousted was because he called his fellow Republicans “liberals”.
The ULTIMATE insult for a Republican?
@Justan Observer Thanks for the info, but seriously – that does not really answer my (rhetroical) question.
I applaud this.
Remember when about seven of his deputies reported him to HR and they ignored it?
Extortion, alluded bribery and abuse of power.
Soviet style governing needs to be stopped.
Law & Oath over
Law & Order.
We are a self-governing people of Law and our democracy is based on trust and and mutual respect.
Love from Dallas, Texas 💙
Biden should be impeached he is the first to be investigated and go to jail for fraud
