Ken Paxton defends 1-day plea deal for child sex offender
For once, Ken Paxton is being honest: if it weren't for our broken campaign finance system, he'd have no shot. #UnrigWashington candidate @jamestalarico.bsky.social is running to reform our system and fight for Texans. Ken Paxton can't say the same. #TXSEN
Roz26You shouldn't have a 'chance' because of big money. You should have a chance because of policies and ideas...of which Ken Paxton has none.
iwearmanyhats.bsky.social18Yet another self own from Paxton.
e-magnus.bsky.social14Again: supreme court. Gotta fix that mess.
Inverted Pyramid9We were a better society before the SuperPAC-ification of America.
Jon6First thing when Democrats get in power: arrest all the traitors. Second: get rid of Citizens United and reform SCOTUS.
chinagirl47.bsky.social5 Nor SHOULD YOU have a shot
BREAKING: Fox News agrees to host a debate between me and Ken Paxton — because the people of Texas deserve it. They're just waiting on Paxton to agree. Ball's in your court, Ken.
Pam Rickel17Paxton won’t show. He can’t defend his record of suing Texas’s underfunded public schools and letting his pedophile buds with money out of jail after 29 days. James Talarico always comes prepared for class.
Pat Ramsey 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 🏳️🌈5Fox News will make this a full-on hour on trans rights or any other way to drive down Democratic enthusiasm. You will be debating Paxton(maybe) and Fox News.
Rainwater4Paxton does NOT have BALLS neither his NOR any you lob at him!
PAUL WOLSTENCROFT2I just love how Paxton must be sweating fear, in a panic! He knows a debate with James will be the most embarrassing moment of his entire dirty life. Just be warned James, if he does have the debate, he's gonna lie & lie dirty about you to try distract from his own misdeeds.
Veteran of Woke 1.02Why would you agree to a debate hosted by Fox News? Are you an idiot?
Dr. Russ Stoneback1So are you gonna officially switch your party affiliation to Republican now that you've dropped all of your progressive positions? You are yet another centrist traitor and do not deserve my vote. Coward.
A reminder that KKK criminal Ken Paxton offered a 1 day prison sentence in Texas for a child rapist and a judge gave that rapist a 60 day sentence which ended up being reduced to 29 days for good behavior. Ken provides protection for pedophiles as well as crooks.
Kim in Occupied Memphis10Paxton didn’t want him to serve more than one day. Sixty days was the most the judge could give under Paxton’s plea deal. In Texas, the penalty for molesting a child is insignificant, but the penalty for aborting a clump of cells is 5 to 99 years and a fine of at least $100,000.
M-Tex8Meet the "Christian" Texas billionaires funding Ken Paxton. Meet Tim Dunn & Farris Wilkes. They have multiple PAC's supporting pedophile protector Ken.

Longtime Republican political operative Karl Rove said his party is being taken over by "Nazis" and railed against the moral failings of U.S. Senate candidate Ken Paxton during a one-on-one interview at the Texas Tribune Festival over the weekend.
Scarheart Thrymson37Man...there's evil, and then there's "too evil for Karl Rove" evil.
Steward Universal29It’s like Freddy Krueger popped up to say, “I may be a monster, but even I’m not MAGA.”
RN Mayhem26Hitler came out and said the Republican Party is being taken over by Nazis 
Franken-Pattern15He knew this ten years ago, its just politically convenient for him to say so now. This smacks of cowardice.
Ohm's Resistance15Rich coming from a guy that helped pave the road that led directly to where his party is right now.
freelib.bsky.social9These are the fields you sowed, Karl.
gamera obscura111I swear to god, the first one of you who says “welcome to the resistance” to this bloated, worthless, indefensible and irredeemable war criminal is going to push me over the edge.
RedwoodGirl16One of the guys who invited the vampires into the house is now complaining that damn, there's a lot of vampires in this house. Stupid and craven is no way to go through life, son.
Anoosh, organizer71) I forgot Karl Rove is still alive. 2) WHO’S GOING TO TELL HIM?
70's Superhero Billy Jack7Wow , they actually starting to say what we have all known for years. I guess it's better late than never.
Hare 🍉6Gonna say to Karl what I'd say to Bill Kristol, good of you to say that, but you still belong in an Iraqi prison.
Anagram Man6He's JUST NOW coming to this conclusion??
🏆Champion Knicks🏆5AND HOW DID THAT HAPPEN, KARL??? WHO LET THEM IN, KARL??

Zeroisanumber4This motherfucker. This motherfucker right here is as responsible for where we are as Trump or any of his scumbags are.
Republican strategist Karl Rove: “In the last 48 hours, Ted Cruz has reached out to me and says, ‘We’re losing,’ Ken Paxton has sent me several emails saying, ‘I’m losing, I need your help.’” www.sacurrent.com/news/politic...
Tim Wiese28The Republicans are only now figuring out that they have been following the orange pied piper off a cliff?
John Hatchard25No fucking shit. It's been a nazi parade under Trump daily in his second term and they've loved every moment of it until it started to backfire.
Anna Busy Bee11"OMG, the party is taken over by Nazi's", said Karl Rove, who had just ended his 10-year hibernation, somewhere under a stone in the Mongolian desert.
codeMonkey2310They have met the enemy, and it is them.
Debi Ann9Took him almost 12 years to wake up. Most people knew this the first time Trump ran. His family told us. thehill.com/homenews/new...
Nacus9He helped open the door to them.
Patrick De Klotz13A number of folks who were in the GOP a decade ago were watching this happen a decade ago. Anyone who was part of righty Twitter then saw the ugliness that was unleashed during the 2016 primary and which hasn’t stopped spreading. We are long beyond the GOP being salvageable.
Hoosier Homer is reading With Zeal & With Bayonet Only by Spring10ahh yes if there is anyone who save the cause of a republican admin for midterm elections while mired in an endless war with no exit strategy and plummeting approval it's Karl Rove. just don't ask what he was doing in 2006 lol
The Northland Texan 🇺🇸 🇺🇦2You love to see it:
Gregory Foster2When you've lost Karl Rove...
Ken Paxton keeps dodging James Talarico's requests to debate him, so Talarico last week offered to debate him on Fox News and went viral over it: "I'll go into the lion's den." Now neither Paxton nor Fox News are responding to Talarico's request. www.huffpost.com/entry/james-...
Jen Bendery33After making his request to Paxton and to Fox News last week, Talarico’s campaign told me today it has “not received any update from Fox News regarding a potential debate." Crickets from Paxton, too.
Susan Behrens3That’s telling that Ken Paxton is afraid of even 1 debate hosted by a very partisan Fox network, and moderated by the Trump aligned Bret Baier. Proof that Bret Baier is friendly to Trump is he attended the WH state dinner for Xi Jinping on 9/24/26. www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/new...
ken paxton has not participated in a debate in over a decade?
Blue Heron Farm67Does an impeachment trial count as a debate?
Sagittarius A*15why would he? he's a republican. once he wins the primary, why does he have to do anything? it's texas.
Lisa Rowe 🏳️🌈5Hey, Darth, when you have 15 houses, 1 wife and at least 1 mistress, and you keep having to fight to weasel out of criminal charges, who has time for a debate??
White Cow in a Blizzard2He’s a wanker, not a master debater.
Specter177🐊1Do they generally do debates for attorney general candidates?
Let's see... --Mike Johnson: "We'll do the same thing the next 2 yrs we've done the last 2 yrs!" --Ken Paxton: "Praise me for letting a child rapist out of prison after 60 days!" --Roger Marshall: "I arrested a poor pregnant woman over $50!" --John Husted: "Poor people are too stupid to shop!"
David Darmofal6Darline Graham: "I'm not that informed on national security"
Jean Krak1You mean people have to be taught how to do things? You mean education is important? Ohhhhh 😉
Eleet Strike Farce1I love that they just keep trying to sell their bullshit.
Jim Dalgleish1Says a man who doesn't know Ramen noodles.
David Mizner1Brutal. New Marist poll has Brown +8.
Aprile5291Wow, Sherrod Brown saying "SHIT"!!
Paxton’s buddy Adam Hoffman actually was only given ONE day in jail by Paxton’s office for repeatedly raping an 8 year old for years, but the judge was so shocked that he gave him 60 days (max under “plea-deal”). Paxton then got him out in 29 days, and NOT on a sex-predator registry. Paxton is EVIL!
Cindy Arnevik8Not to mention he moved out of state and could be living near your children today because it’s was a misdemeanor and he doesn’t have to register as a sex offender
Susan Kramer Esq.1Language needs to be tightened up in the below post. Not that he 'diddled' a young boy. I thought the charge was rape. Anyway, the fix was apparently in on this deal, for the attorney rapist to get only this much. Sometimes the parents don't want to put the victim through a trial, so
It's gonna be fun if Talarico loses and we have ten thousand politics experts talking about how he could have easily won if he just called out Paxton for letting a child molester off But Didn't Even Try when like half of his campaign has been about Ken Paxton being a friend to child molesters.
A Frogs Gent9If he wins, it's because he addressed my pet issues. If he loses, it's because he didn't address them *enough*.
Russell Cohn 7How come I don’t get his political ads even though I don’t live in the state?
NatuByNature4I see that and raise you Jackson losing and Klippy and Grim gloating about smoothgroins
Crooked Edge3Here's an Hispanic TX republican. They've already sold their souls to Trump, Paxton's not a big lift for them.
Dead Carl2“The oracle called me the least-insufferable of all politics posters. It is because I alone, of all politics posters, know I don’t have one weird trick to win elections.”
Glendos Fen1Of course that would help them avoid the fucked up truth that to a lot of die hard Republican and Republican-lite partisans, pedophillia has for a while now been NOT THAT BIG of a deal-breaker with them. "Sure, we can trust our conservative Uncle Michael to look after the kids for the weekend."
