All eyes on Sen. Angela Paxton as Texas Senate takes up her husband’s removal
Ken Paxton helped elect his wife, Angela, to the state Senate. That chamber will now consider whether to remove him from the attorney general’s office. She has not said whether she will recuse herself.

"On Saturday, the Texas House voted 121-23 to impeach Ken Paxton on a range of charges, at least one of which involved his wife, and at least one of which related to an alleged extramarital affair. Ken Paxton is suspended while the Senate decides whether he should be removed from office. As Ken Paxton’s scandals have mounted, Angela Paxton has stood by his side, and over two terms in the Senate seat he once held, she has done little to disentangle her political legacy from her husband’s. On the campaign trail, she’s known for performing a version of an Al Dexter song, singing, “I’m a pistol-packin’ mama, and my husband sues Obama, I’m a pistol-packin’ mama, yes I am.”
Now that pistol-packin’ mama is one of 31 senators who hold her husband’s fate in their hands. It’s unclear what her role should or would be in the trial; while the Texas Constitution says legislators should recuse themselves from matters in which they have a personal stake, it also says all senators shall be present for an impeachment trial."
Why should Angela have to recuse herself? The Constitution says a Senator "should" recuse themselves but it doesn't say they "MUST" recuse themselves. What if the communist controlled Texas House brings forth bogus charges in order to remove one of the greatest State Attorney Generals in US history, isn't it her duty to fight back? Who cares about the optics of it all?
To give you an idea of how bogus this impeachment is....one of the charges of corruption is about how Ken cheated on his wife and had his donor give the woman he had an affair with a job in exchange for favors as Attorney General...do you really think his wife wouldn't have said anything if this were true?? Why would anyone who cheated on their wife want their wife to sit in judgement of them? Of course he never cheated..and even if he did, how is that corruption? Are you saying it's corruption to help a broad out who is sucking your dick more efficiently than your wife? We should impeach all of the Soros-paid state reps who voted to impeach..this is a clear cut case of cultural Marxism taking over the Texas State House.
