ken paxtons lawyer endorses talarico

[moonshinegnomie]

donated 1,000 to his campaign and said paxton “has lost sight of his core mission, which is to represent the people of Texas.”

“And unlike Ken, I believe to my core that James Talarico believes in unity over division and that he knows how to assemble not only Democrats, but Independents and Republicans, and we need that right now,”

2. Maybe this will do the smug bastard in!

Let us devoutly hope so, anyway!

3. May ALL the Texas republicans who voted to impeach him do the same

They know what Ken Paxton is!

13. the vast majorty of rethugs here dont care

[MagickMuffin]

16. Time will tell

The House who voted to impeach Paxton, plus the additional Cornyn supporters may just surprise us all.

5th generation Texan here and I’m hopeful that Talarico will garner those voters who can’t stand Paxton. If they can’t bring themselves to vote for the democratic candidate then perhaps they’ll not cast a vote at all for either candidate.

5. Qquestion, don: WHEN did kennie EVER see it as his "core mission"

to "represent the people of Texas"? Other than that, welcome to the light.

10. Paxton's core mission is to stay out of jail

can you imagine how pleasant incarceration would be for him?

11. One can dream!

6. I'm not in Texas but donated to Talarico.

However, sad to say I have full confidence in the ignorance of Texas voters to elect Paxton.

[TBF]

12. Thank you for doing that!

7. that. is delicious. nt

8. Well, well, well. What have we here!

Divide and conquer!

9. His attorney is very likely a Democrat

There is a pattern of scandal-plagued republicans (redundant) hiring Democrats to defend them. It may be the same way men have women defend them in divorce/custody battles. Tom Delay and Scooter Libby both had Democratic lawyers.

Plus, one article has the below passage with a quote from co-counsel, though it should be taken with a grain of salt since that one is a magapublican.

Paxton's camp did not immediately return a request for comment. But another member of his legal team, Republican state Rep. Mitch Little of Frisco, shrugged off Cogdell's endorsement.

"I love Dan, but he is a Democrat, and he doesn’t vote very much," Little wrote on X. "This impeachment defense lawyer is 100% behind Ken Paxton. I’ve personally served alongside Representative Talarico, and — when he’s working — he’s doing really radical, leftist things."

14. he donated 6500 to paxton last year

[mr715]

19. Wow, that is a bad Democrat LOL

21. I love the coverage that this story is getting

Paxton is NOT going to be happy

[SleeplessinSoCal]

22. THIS!

Lawyer says Paxton “has lost sight of his core mission, which is to represent the people of Texas.”

This is true of every Republican running in 2026. Dems must embrace this message and run with it.
