Matt Angle reports:
The sound coming from Greg Abbott and Ken Paxton is the bleating of sheep. And their intended audience isn’t even the frontline Democrats who are courageously defending Texas. Abbott and Paxton are performing for Donald Trump. [emphasis added]
Abbott and Paxton reacted to the strength of Texas State House Democrats by teaming up and doubling down on their own surrender to Trump. They engaged in petty name calling and then incorrectly cited an AG opinion to justify empty threats to vacate Democratic member’s seats in the Legislature.
Here are the facts around Abbott and Paxton’s threats to declare Democratic seats vacant.
First, an AG opinion does not have the force of law. Paxton’s claims have all the credibility of his marriage vows.
