Former President Donald Trump took to social media on Saturday to condemn the impeachment of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, his close political ally.
The former president took specific aim at Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan , who led the charge to successfully impeach Paxton, sharing a video on his Truth Social platform of Phelan stumbling with his words on the state House floor earlier this week. At the time, Paxton accused Phelan of being drunk while conducting the legislature, and insisted he resign.
Paxton, a staunch ally of of the former president, responded to the news of the House vote with a lengthy statement condemning the effort to remove him as unlawful and politically motivated. "Unfortunately, they refused to consider anything that would interfere with their desired result," he continued."They disregarded the law, ignored the facts, and demonstrated contempt for Texas voters."
