Angela Paxton Refuses To Recuse After Singing Husband's Praises

The endless corruption of the Paxton family is profound and seemingly without limits.

Everyone can stop wondering about what Angela Paxton plans on doing regarding the impeachment trial after she puts out the following statement:



Paxton promises to “carry out my duties” on the very day before the Senate considers rules for her husband’s impeachment trial.

She means that she will vote to acquit her corrupt shady-dealing husband. We shouldn’t have expected anything less from a woman who drove the getaway car to her husband’s escape from a process server.

And if there is any doubt about how Angela Paxton plans to vote, here is the tweet she posted before her announcement.

but I still feel that the entire chamber will vote to convict. In this particular situation, I don't think the House would have impeached in the first place if the members there weren't confident of a subsequent conviction in the Senate. But, we shall see.

She's a republican and republicans refuse to do the right thing.
