Political activists financed by two billionaire oilmen — famous for backing right wing Republicans — are riding like cavalry to save suspended Attorney General Ken Paxton from a scalping in the Texas Senate.
Stickland, Rinaldi and Sullivan are leading a public campaign to stop the Texas Senate from permanently removing Paxton following his impeachment on 20 corruption charges. The same group also wants to remove Dade Phelan as speaker of the House.
“There will be one helluva price to pay for voting w/ @DadePhelan and Dems,” he tweeted on May 26. “Wait until you see my PAC budget … A vote to impeach @KenPaxtonTX is a decision to have a primary. Can’t wait to see who sides with Democrats.” “Make no mistake, Ken Paxton was impeached because he has been effectively fighting the Biden administration, Big Tech and Big Pharma,” he tweeted. “The Democrats and RINOs had to stop those attacks.”
