Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton held a tele-town hall for his U.S. Senate campaign.
During the Monday event, a caller confronted Paxton.
"Hi Paxton, nice to meet you," the caller began, "I'm just wondering — why did you cheat on your wife?"
Texas Attorney General deflected, "Um. I'm not going to talk about personal issues that relate to my family, just like I don't think you would want to discuss your marriage on a call with thousands of people."
"All I can tell you is that I'm proud of my kids," he added.
Journalist Aaron Rupar shared a video by Caitlin Montgomery Gibson reacting to the call.
His infidelity and the breakdown of his marriage have become campaign liabilities, directly connected to his abuse-of-power scandal that led to his impeachment by the Republican-dominated Texas House.
Though he escaped conviction in the state Senate, Paxton subsequently worked to support primary challengers against representatives who voted to impeach him.
Running in a competitive race against Democratic state representative James Talarico, Paxton continues to face public confrontation about his personal conduct.
Earlier this week, hecklers at a Houston event shouted similar accusations as he campaigned.
