The Texas Tribune reports that Dunn and Wilks have dropped $2 million into the new PAC, known as Texans United for a Conservative Majority. Money from the PAC is already being distributed to challengers seeking to unseat House Republicans who voted to impeach Attorney General Ken Paxton last year. You will recall that until recently Dunn and Wilks had a perfectly functioning PAC for this kind of purpose called Defend Texas Liberty. But in October, Tribune reporter Robert Downen staked out the headquarters of Defend Texas Liberty and learned that its leader, Jonathan Stickland, had met for seven hours with Nick Fuentes, a fan of Adolf Hitler, a hater of Jews, and a denigrator of women. Stickland was demoted after Downen’s report on the meeting.

Does he think Ken Paxton is popular or something? Because we all know he’s a criminal.

They don’t care what the plebs think. They just want to rule you.

Sure, but my point is: how is this going to turn into votes? These would be state races, and Ken Paxton is unpopular. Seems like a loser issue to hang your hat upon.

We can only hope so, but conservatives have a way of being the worst most despicable people and yet remain in power for decades. I have no expectation for Texas to pull its head out any decade soon.

Paxton has been unpopular for while, yet still got voted in AND dodged charges
