Episode 8: Ken Paxton and Texas Officials Simp Hard for Trump

Hello Fort Worth and welcome to another episode of the Fort Worth Freedom Review. My name is Anthony Sosa and today we have Amber O’Dell and Christie Beamer on to talk about Ken Paxton the Texas Attorney General. We discuss the role of Attorney General in the state of Texas, the history of Ken Paxton’s political career before he became TX Attorney General, his criminal misconduct and subsequent investigations, and his recent lawsuit against Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin that was shut down by the Supreme Court. We also will get into the recent call for succession by the State Republican Party and how that isn’t even an option.    As always, please subscribe and sign up for our newsletter and get updates on FW political news and deep dives into local issues.
