WHOA: Fox host FREAKS OUT over Texas Senate race LIVE ON AIR
I agree. You got to hit him on the. issues. And Paxton should be doing that. Where's Paxton? I've seen Mitch. McConnell more than Paxton. And. McConnell's been in the hospital all. summer. Get out of your hole, Paxton, and do something. I can't win this race. for you. It's not on Fox. Go raise some. money. Do a hit and lay the lumber to. this guy. I mean, he's younger and he's. got a little energy and he's new or. whatever, but come on. If you lose this. seat for Republicans in Texas, you.
should seek asylum in Mexico. This. cannot happen. Just so you understand. how not good that moment was, Fox lives. in a reality of its own making. Fox. pretends that Donald Trump is a genius. They pretend that the Epstein files have. been fully released. They pretend that. Todd Blanch is a legit attorney general. They have zero shame about faking out. their own audience. So for those people. to not be able to polish the turd that. is Ken Paxton's campaign really does say. something. And look in fairness Ken. Paxton hasn't been completely absent.
There was this gem of a moment right. here. >> General, I wanted to give you a chance. to respond to State Representative Taler. Rico and his campaign. They've made a. lot about the reports that have come out. uh one in the New York Times about you. acquiring properties worth not. >> Can we keep this to law enforcement. today? >> Well, I'm giving you the opportunity to. to answer that question. >> I'd like we're here with the sheriff's. I'd like to keep today to law. enforcement. So, that's that's what I'm. going to answer questions about law.
enforcement. >> Okay. >> Grower, did you want to go? >> Will you answer a question about why you. voted in Colin County? Clear that up. We're just going to do questions on law. enforcement today because we're joined. with 22 amazing law enforcement. officers. >> I have a question. >> We're going to get out of here. Thank. you guys. >> I have a question. >> Yeah, we're going to get out of here. >> Can we not have more than one person. answer a question? >> What's your question? >> Um, we heard from Ter Rico today. >> He's campaigning on It is. >> he's campaigning on uh unaffordable.
child care. That was Paxton bolting when. asked to respond to allegations that. he's collected 15 homes on a government. salary. And my favorite part about this. is that he claims that he doesn't want. to talk about Telerico. So, he tries to. offset the question while standing in. front of a podium that literally says. James Torico's name and has a photo of. James Telerico. In other words, he wants. to be able to attack Telerico, but not. have to answer for any of Telarico's. accusations against him. always ready to.
throw punches but physically incapable. of taking them. Or how about this moment. right here? >> Mr. Paxton, did you commit voter fraud? So, if you're wondering why he's getting. hit with questions on voter fraud, that's because Paxton, who built so much. of his brand around this idea that he. would take a hardline stance against. voter fraud, is now himself the subject. of an investigation by ProPublica and.
Texas Tribune, which found that Ken. Paxton voted in six elections over the. past two years using an address of a. Colin County home that he no longer. lives in. His aranged wife, State. Senator Angela Paxton, stated in her. divorce filings that he moved out. roughly two years ago following their. split. Where he's actually been residing. since isn't entirely clear, though prior. reporting has linked him to a separate. home in Denton County, which if true. would make him ineligible to vote in. Colin County elections at all. Voting.
from an ineligible address is generally. a secondderee felony under Texas law, punishable by up to 20 years in prison. and a $10,000 fine. Telerico has seized. on the allegations directly. He said. that Paxton was quote committing voter. fraud the whole time, voting illegally. in six elections in a row from the wrong. address. Paxton has so far declined to. answer reporters questions about his. residency and voter registration. So. yeah, I guess I'm not entirely surprised. that Paxton would run from these. questions considering he is now accused. of doing the exact thing he predicated.
his brand on fighting against. Now, we. might have the opportunity to see Ken. Paxton on the debate stage with James. Terico where he could actually answer. for some of this stuff. Terrio's. campaign posted, "Debate times and. locations have been set. I've accepted. We'll see if Ken Paxton has the courage. to show up or if he'll run away like. usual." Now, when asked if he'd. participate, here's what he said. >> Mr. Paxton, should Jonathan be leader if. you win your race? Are you ready to. [music] face Mr. Terico in a debate, sir?
So, um, not exactly promising. Tyler. Rico spoke out about this on air here. >> So, you've agreed to these three. debates. Uh, the schedule September. 22nd, all Tuesdays, September 22nd, October 6th, October 13th. Uh, Ken. Paxton and the Republican TV ad campaign. has been throwing all sorts of junk at. you. Uh, and so this this first time. we're going to see uh you confronting. this very directly with Paxton will be.
September 22nd. Uh, do do you expect uh. him to bring into the debate all the. kinds of uh insulting junk he's been. throwing around? >> Well, you know, Ken Paxton has not. accepted any of these debates yet. When. I get tough questions, I answer them. When Ken Paxton gets tough questions, he. runs away. Literally runs away from. reporters, from voters, from anyone.
asking hard questions. If you've given. an Epstein style sweetheart deal to an. admitted child predator, you should have. to answer the public's questions. If you. were reported to the FBI for bribery by. your own staff, you should have to. answer the public's questions. If you. become a multi-millionaire on a. government salary and now own 15 homes. on the public's dime, then you should. have to answer the public's questions. I. get it. If I had Ken Paxton's record of.
corruption, I wouldn't want to answer. these questions either. But he's asking. for your vote. He is asking for your. trust. And the people of Texas deserve. answers. So, I've challenged Ken Paxton. to these three televised debates. The. networks have already set the dates and. the times and the locations. We're just. waiting on Ken Paxton. I'm not afraid of. tough questions. We'll see if Ken Paxton. can say the same. >> So, there could be an empty chair at. these debates. [laughter]. >> There might be. And Ken Paxton has a.
long history of saying one thing and. doing another, of promising to show up. and then and then not showing up. And. so, I'll believe it when he walks onto. that debate stage. I think the people of. Texas deserve answers to their very. legitimate questions about his career of. corruption. He hasn't debated in more. than a decade. He hasn't made himself. available to questions from the public. And I think that should end this. November as Texans face this very. important choice uh on November 3rd.
>> The reality is that I almost understand. why Ken Paxton is absent considering the. only thing worse than him being. completely MIA on the campaign trail is. him actually being present on the. campaign trail. Because when we do see. Ken Paxton, he has to answer for the. massive amounts of corruption and. scandals that he's involved in. This is. somebody who was indicted in 2015 on. felony securities fraud charges, for. which he ultimately paid $300,000 in. restitution. In 2020, senior deputies in. his own office reported him to the FBI,
alleging he'd abused his power to help. political donor Nate Paul, including. issuing favorable legal opinions and. pushing for investigations into Paul's. business rivals. allegedly in part. because Paul had employed a woman with. whom Paxton was having an extrammarital. affair. Those whistleblowers were fired. Several uh later won a $6.6 million. judgment against his office for exactly. that. And the scandal snowballed into a. historic 2023 impeachment by the Texas. House, which was voted on 121 to 23.
This is a Republicanled House, although. the state senate ultimately acquitted. him. On top of all of that, his marriage. to state senator Angela Paxton ended in. a headline grabbing divorce that citled. that cited both infidelity and his. conduct in office. And now, as I. mentioned before, he's dealing with. those accusations that may he may have. voted illegally in six elections over. the past two years from an address that. he no longer lives at. To claim that Ken. Paxton is a disaster candidate is an. insult to disasters. And yet, this is.
part for the course in today's GOP. Hopefully voters in Texas realize that. blind allegiance to one political party. is not worth elevating the most corrupt. people in America into positions of. power. Before you go, one quick request. It's. become clear to me that this White House. is dead set on preventing me from. reaching any audience. Trump's decision. to put me as the first name on his. enemies list is a testament to that.
