THE VOTE is 121-23 to impeach Ken Paxton

Dude has been under indictment for over 8 years for securities fraud

His own aides wanted him brought up on corruption/bribery charges

He wouldn't show his messages to the special house committee regarding J6

His cruelty towards trans kids and adults in unmatched

Hell, he even stole expensive pens

What did he do to get TX republicans to actually take action?

If anyone is interested in the why question:
Paxton settled a misconduct lawsuit against his office for $3 million, and the state legislature is angry about having to pay it.

Legislature has little appetite to fund Ken Paxton’s settlement with whistleblowers

A lack of lawmaker support jeopardizes the attorney general’s $3.3 million settlement, which would resolve a lawsuit alleging Paxton fired high-ranking deputies who accused him of misconduct.
