Assume it deals with Roy calling for Paxton to resign as well as his support for Desantis.

Rep. Chip Roy Released The Following Statement On Texas AG Ken Paxton
October 5, 2020
Press Release
Rep. Chip Roy released the following statement Monday:

For the good of the people of Texas and the extraordinary public servants who serve at the Office of the Attorney General, Attorney General Ken Paxton must resign.

The allegations of bribery, abuse of office, and other charges levied against him by at least 7 senior leaders of the Office of the Attorney General are more than troubling on the merits. But, any grace for him to resolve differences and demonstrate if the allegations are false was eliminated by his choice instead to attack the very people entrusted, by him, to lead the office – some of whom I know well and whose character are beyond reproach.

The work of the Office of the Attorney General of Texas is too critical to the state and her people to leave in chaos and to risk the work of over 700 lawyers managing almost 30,000 legal cases at any given moment, including major cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, as well as processing over $4 Billion in Child Support.

The Attorney General deserves his days in court, but the people of Texas deserve a fully functioning AG's office.

Because it’s not about conservatism to them. It’s just about Trump. He could recite Karl Marx at a rally and they would lap it up and twist themselves into saying “This is actually what he meant.”

Lindsay Graham is compromised and has been since the days of McCain. He’s a lapdog for Cocaine Mitch and a mouthpiece for Establishment Republicans.

Chip is my Congressman.

His bet on the DeSantas wasn't crazy at the time he made it but it did turn out to be a bad bet.

But he is super Rock solid on the second amendment so I'll keep him.

Ah!!!!! So a true conservative. He has principles.....no wonder you want him primaried.

He isn't a Trump toadie or a Paxton sleaze apologist.

By his own admission, Trump doesn't read much.

How? All he had to gain was putting a principled conservative in as president. It’s a bad bet to stick to your principles in the face of overwhelming scrutiny?

Because it's not going to pay off.


If you read carefully I said that it was a reasonable bet at the time it was made.

My scrutiny of your post is on this.

What does “pay off” mean in this context? What did he have to gain or lose?

Trump is deranged. Scorched earth against actual conservatives in a primary he supposedly leads by 60 points makes zero sense.

I really hate that the new definition of RINO is anyone who isn't all in on Trump.

How’s Ron doing with this?

I think most conservatives in Florida are very happy with how Ron has run the state.
