A Media Whore And An Oil Whore Go Toe-To-Toe As The GOP Civil War Rages On

The GOP Circus: Texas Republicans embroiled in a most entertaining Civil War.

Over the last month, pro-Ken Paxton forces, funded by West Texas billionaires, have pushed a false narrative that Democrats control the Texas House. Of course, as much as we wish that were true, it is not. So, what’s the point?

Far-right Republicans didn’t get everything they wanted passed, and the GOP base only responded to the blame game on Democrats. But since Republicans control the House, they have nothing left to do but call the GOP members they don’t like “secret Democrats” and “Democratic conspirators.” And, of course, their low-informed base falls for it, hook-line-and sinker.

Ken Paxton being impeached by a Republican majority? Blame the Democrats.

No vouchers implemented? Blame the Democrats.

Vaccines still allowed in Texas? It’s all because of the Democrats!
