@TonyHussein4 Paxton's wife is a TX State Senator. It will be interesting to see if she recuses herself, knowing today's Republicans cheat at all costs.
@TonyHussein4 Ted Cruz couldn’t even get a “Howdy”from the Republican Texas legislature. He is seen just like they see Paxton.
@TonyHussein4 @TCRG2012 Well, 1/2 way there to removing Paxton, the worst state Attorney General in the USA. Texas Senate is up next. His wife is a Senator. Recuse? Remember, Trump was impeached 2x. GOP Senate refused to convict 2x. @Rangers @AggieFootball @GregAbbott_TX @OccupyDemocrats @PPact @ACLU
@TonyHussein4 Why wasn't Trump suspended until the end of his trial?
