MAGA melts down as Ken Paxton faces yet another impeachment threat in the Texas House

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is in hot water yet again — and his MAGA supporters are furious about it.

Paxton was impeached by a majority-Republican state House of Representatives last year, over allegations that he engaged in bribery and criminally retaliated against staff in his office — a matter reportedly still being investigated separately by the FBI. Ultimately, GOP loyalists in the Texas Senate acquitted him of all charges, and he mounted a revenge campaign against the legislators who voted to impeach him, causing several to lose their primaries earlier this year and House Speaker Dade Phelan to only barely hang on after a bitter runoff.

On Wednesday, however, Paxton, an ally of Trump and an extreme-right firebrand who has enforced a total abortion ban and tried to overturn the 2020 presidential election, posted that a House investigative committee could be gearing up to impeach him again, raging, “Their bitter obsession with taking me down knows no bounds, and they will stop at nothing to remove me from office.”

Paxton-supportive commenters on social media — some of whom don't even appear to be from Texas — went nuts.

"Evidently they didn’t get the message clearly enough the first time they tried to derail @KenPaxtonTX on doctored up allegations. RINO Hunt Round 2? They’re begging for it…" wrote Shiloh Platts, who heads up the Beaumont chapter of the right-wing True Texas Project.

"Texas is full of communists too," wrote the account @raftoregon.

"Those filthy scumbags never give up," wrote the account @ColinChilson.

"It's hilarious how the Austin Swamp are gluttons for punishment. Because they sure have learned nothing after losing 15 of their members who voted to impeach Ken Paxton during the primary cycle," wrote @MaulStanMI.

This all comes after Paxton managed to get a decade-long state criminal charge against him for securities fraud dismissed by prosecutors, in return for fulfilling the terms of a pretrial agreement.
