The Monsters Among Us (Ken Paxton)

Corruption and Consequences in Texas Politics.

https://www.lonestarleft.com/p/the-monsters-among-us


When the Senators who acquitted Ken Paxton decided that Tim Dunn’s money was more important than the rule of law, they created a monster. Paxton has decided to unleash his depravity, believing he is immune to accountability.

As we all know, abortions in Texas are against the law. When Kate Cox learned her fetus had trisomy 18, a condition almost always fatal before or shortly after birth, the Center for Reproductive Freedom filed a lawsuit on her behalf. The lawsuit stated the abortion law prevents Cox from receiving proper healthcare and could threaten her fertility or her life.

Fact: The fetus would die.

Fact: Without this healthcare, Cox could lose her uterus and never conceive again.

Fact: Without this healthcare, Cox could die.

A judge granted a temporary restraining order, allowing Cox to terminate the pregnancy. Watch the clip below, showing the moment the judge granted the restraining order.

... he is a psychopath devoid of honor, empathy, or compassion. He has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. The world will be a far, far better place without him.
Karma? You're up. Swing for the fences.
