Nearly a quarter of Texas Republicans now disapprove of the embattled attorney general, an all-time high.
“I do think there are a lot of grassroots people who look at this, they equate it to what’s going on with Trump,” said a Texas Republican consultant granted anonymity to speak freely about intraparty dynamics. “Paxton has done a very good job of trying to play the Trump card and say these are Democrats, this is a witch hunt, whatever else. But here again, when you look at who voted to impeach him, they’re Republicans.
“As a sitting governor who was once wrongly indicted, I know that processes can be abused. But that isn’t what I see here,” Perry wrote in. “We should be praising, not vilifying, them for taking their responsibilities seriously.” Trump is still standing firmly beside him. “Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was easily re-elected last November, but now establishment RINOS are trying to undo that Election with a shameful impeachment of him,” Trumpon Thursday, calling Paxton “one of the TOUGHEST & BEST Attorney Generals in the Country.”
