On the Acquittal of Attorney General Ken Paxton and What It Means for TEXIT
After the Texas Senate acquitted Attorney General Ken Paxton, the Texas Nationalist Movement said the impeachment had exposed the dysfunction in Austin that makes the case for Texas self-government.
The Texas Senate has acquitted Attorney General Ken Paxton on all counts in a historic impeachment trial. The process that led to it, and the testimony that followed, are a glaring indictment of the failures in our state government.
This trial pulled the veil off the Texas House and exposed a level of dysfunction, and of antagonism toward the people of Texas, that the Texas Nationalist Movement has been warning about for years in its push for TEXIT. The responsibility to correct it lies with the voters of Texas. It is not just a right but a duty to remove from office those who disregard the rule of law and Article 1, Section 2 of the Texas Constitution.
The trial also laid bare an unsettling truth: there are operatives inside our state government who are more loyal to federal bureaucrats and agencies than to the people and the Constitution of Texas. That is a betrayal of every Texan, and it must end.
The path to reclaiming Texas starts now. By rallying behind the TEXIT petition and completing it by the December 1 deadline, Texans can set the stage for a real shift in Texas politics, and elect officials who will fight for TEXIT and for the values that define us.
