Paxton Calls For Impeachment Protest At Texas Capitol

May 27, 2023 Infighting Is Funny, Republicans

The Guardian reports:

The Texas attorney general, Ken Paxton, has urged his supporters to protest at the state capitol when Republicans in the House of Representatives take up historic impeachment proceedings against him.

The state House has set a Saturday vote to consider impeaching Paxton and suspending him from office over allegations of bribery, unfitness for office and abuse of public trust – just some of the accusations that have trailed him for most of his three terms.

Paxton, a 60-year-old Republican, decried the impeachment proceedings as “political theater” that will “inflict lasting damage on the Texas House”, adding to his earlier claims that it was an effort to disfranchise the voters who returned him to office in November.

The impeachment proceeding is scheduled to begin at 1PM local time and is expected to take several hours before the full Texas House votes. If one is available, I’ll post a live-stream shortly before 2PM NYC time.
