AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — When a small county in the Colorado mountains banished everyone but locals to blunt the spread of the coronavirus, an unlikely outsider raised a fuss: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who called it an affront to Texans who own property there and pressed health officials to soften the rules.
"If Attorney General Paxton used his position to deliberately intervene with Colorado officials to benefit a major campaign donor, the Texas Ethics Commission should immediately investigate whether he violated state laws,”
The Texas Ethics Commission meets every odd-numbered leap year.
Didn’t know this guy was still a thing in TX…
Abbott–Patrick–Paxton, the Texan Death Cult Trifecta. Such fine men.
Ahhh…paraphrasing the old investment firm commercial: “When the .01% speaks, EVERYBODY listens.”
These Texans are parasites that would kill their host society without blinking. By exposing them we are being vaccinated so that our anti-bodies can eliminate them before they do so.
Interesting reasoning. Does Paxton realize how many foreign nationals own property in Texas?
Ken Paxton: Bought. Paid For. Beholden.
That face! Those are the eyes of a criminal sociopath.
It’s pretty telling when someone’s fake eye has more life in it than their real eye.
Different rules (and taxes) for the rich.
Gotta problem with that?
The modern GOP.
Vote in November like your life depends on it. It does.
This is how Republicans want government to work, special treatment for their wealthy friends and broken or nonexistent operation for everyone else. It’s a completely corrupt system that fails most people, and they think it means good governance. The sooner we get rid of Republicans, the sooner we have an effective government that works for the people.
Sadly or not, it was probably not within the county’s power to keep people out, particularly people who own propery in the county, except perhaps for a very limited period of time.
The man is an indicted felon which should be enough to get him fired but no, it isn’t. It’s only enough to get him one delay of his trial after another. He even looks like a goddam felon. I do not know how he gets re-elected but he just did in 2018.
And thanks, Ken, for making us that much more popular in that area.
Jeebus! Why are we still hearing about this guy? Shouldn’t he be in prison already?
If what you say comes true, then how will Kafka find inspiration for his next novel?
Gee, I missed the part where the Constitution guarantees access to expensive vacation properties. Perhaps Mr. Attorney General could give us a citation?
“Texas ethics regulators”
HAHAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!
Entitled privileged ass.
A raging case of affluenza.
He did in his letter. AP didn’t include it.
