LIVE VIDEO: Texas House Votes On Impeaching Paxton

May 27, 2023 Infighting Is Funny, Republicans

The Texas Tribune reports:

The Republican-dominated Texas House is set to vote Saturday on the impeachment of the state’s Republican attorney general, Ken Paxton, considering a list of charges that include abuse of office, obstruction of justice, taking bribes and using his position to benefit himself and a political donor.

The extraordinary vote would be one of the few ever taken in the Texas Capitol and the first of a statewide office holder since 1917. It comes after a bipartisan House committee filed 20 articles of impeachment against Mr. Paxton this week, detailing actions that the panel unanimously decided made him unfit for office.

It would take 75 votes from the House’s 85 Republicans and 64 Democrats to approve the articles of impeachment and set a trial in the Senate, according to the office of the House Speaker.

Last night Paxton called on the cult to protest at the state capitol and as you can see below, Texas Democrats have also put out a call for support.
