It seems that at least one person in Texas doesn’t care for him. Aw. Paxton wasn’t prepared. And what happened is something he should have expected. He’s the Scandal Man. No one wants him anywhere near, because his scandals could cause problems for others. These days, standing too close to someone like Paxton could be used against you if you get the slightest hint of something ugly about yourself. You get the idea. Many thanks to Raw Story:
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton started chanting “U-S-A” on stage during a rally Wednesday night in a panicked attempt to drown out a person in the crowd trying to confront him over why he gave an Epstein-style sweetheart plea deal to an admitted child molester. Paxton, President Donald Trump’s scandal-plagued pick in the heated Texas Senate race, has been facing scrutiny in the fallout over a plea deal for Adam Dean Hoffman, a 49-year-old attorney accused of repeatedly sexually abusing a young boy for years, according to The Texas Tribune. Hoffman surrendered his law license, and in the deal, he was let out of jail in just days without having to register as a sex offender.
Whoa, now. That’s most certainly getting up into Epstein-style abuse. For years! But he essentially walked and did NOT pay for his crime. What the actual eff. Kinda like Epstein in Florida. And Ghislaine being moved to a much cushier prison. She belongs back in the sex offender box. And back to our story. That’s certainly something to ask Paxton about. If enough people are persistent with him, the actual truth might come out. Not holding my breath. Just another scandal layered onto Paxton, because that’s definitely a scandal. Jeez. Makes me twitch.
At the event at White Oak Music Hall in north Houston, he faced public questions over the decision. //// “Why did you let Adam Hoffman free?” A person in the crowd yelled out at Paxton. //// Paxton tried to sway the crowd and divert them to chanting instead. “I’m going to do a little something different tonight. It’s kind of risky,” Paxton said, breaking into the patriotic chant. //// Just before taking the stage at the event, Paxton had an aide step in between himself and a citizen asking him a critical question: “How come on a government salary you own over 15 houses?” Journalist Aaron Rupar shared video from the encounter.
Thank you, Aaron! (Personal note – this is one of the people I’d follow on Xitter if I were ever foolish enough to get on it.) Back to Paxton: how DID he manage to get 15 houses on a government salary? Enquiring minds want to know. There’s another thing to hang around Paxton’s neck. The more we can add, the greater the weight and the drag on him. If it helps Talarico, it’s good.
Social media users called Paxton out over Hoffman and the plea deal. //// “In a brutal moment, Ken Paxton’s rally was just interrupted by an attendee mad about Paxton’s Epstein-style deal for a child predator. What a disaster for MAGA,” wrote X account Democratic Wins Media, which tracks campaigns and candidates. //// “Notice how Paxton had to start the USA chant. His ‘supporters’ didn’t. Very ‘please clap’ vibes,” wrote X user Mike in Houston, who self-describes as a 35-year veteran of the energy industry. //// “If you have to drown out people asking why you released a child rapist by chanting USA, you’re the f—– devil,” Will Kelly, software recruiter and progressive political commentator, wrote on X.
WHAM. There ya go. Paxton should have known better. So, what kind of dirt did Adam Hoffman have on Paxton that we don’t know about yet? He has scandals hanging all over him and then let Hoffman walk? Especially if it was after Epstein files started coming out? Because *everyone* knows about those files. If he gave this guy a walk after those started, he *really* should have known better. If it was before those, we’re back to what dirt Hoffman has on him. There’s something in the background we don’t know about. Well, here’s more about Paxton that could be used if the Talarico campaign wants to use it. Yep, Republicans are going to have to spend a lot of money in Texas. Good.
See you tomorrow!
Friends, I know everybody begs you for money. I promise you that, of all the outlets bugging you for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest-working. We’re a bunch of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. But the rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the ability to continue our quest to tell the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
