When you're too corrupt for the Texas republican

[tanakehoe]

Drain the Texas Swamp! Throw these corrupt politicians out of office.

[maplebones]

Paxton's election doesn't mean he has deep support. Texans will vote for a watermelon if it's on the republican ticket.

[chrys]

As a native Texan I cannot tell you how THRILLED I am at this turn of events. Long Long overdue. I don't know if anything will happen, probably not, but that he has finally been called out is a start

[xmen]

Everyone needs to start cleaning house with these corrupt politicians!! Vote them out!!

[jim]

Memo to Texas State Senate: finish the job. Convict and remove Paxton.

[KateLopez-xvwu]

The quicker you get rid of corruption, the faster America will shine again

[siriaperez]

Not everyone voted for him, I didn't!

[BigDanOz]

I can absolutely see the evil in Paxton's eyes, never heard him speak.. thank God his political career will not proceed higher than a state level attorney general 👍

[jorgec]

Paxton is nothing less than a gangster

[tareewoods]

He's almost as much of a criminal as tRump. Wonder if they're related!😂

[tealsquare]

Rep. Charlie Green sounds like Turtle Mitch

[lifestooshort]

Why would there be a threat of consequences? Unless, they're corrupt themselves 🤔

[dnonlyever]

So corrupt...please lock him up. He doesn't belong in any office of government or any position of power.

[suzanneforasiepi]

VERO VOTE EVERY REPUBLICAN OUT BE A HERO 🌊🌊🌊💯👍🏽

[terihaynes-yfjb]

Paxton goes back to 2015. Republican turned blind eye. Congratulations 😢

[politicsbtch]

Paxton has quite the rap sheet for Texas' top cop. His impeachment is late and warranted.

[shinykazzadragon]

Acts of intimidation are acts of violence.

[abelincoln]

When did we decide politicians can do anything yet please without any accountability?

[PTVforever]

And some how the GQP will blame the Democrats for this!!!🤷🏻‍♀️
