The Texas attorney general's record will mean more attention on the issue of corruption, which Democrats can run on across the country.
A licensed sex therapist and leftist activist who called for turning a federal ICE detention center in Texas into a “prison for American Zionists,” complete with a “castration processing center for pedophiles,” lost the Democrat primary runoff for Texas’s 35th Congressional District on Tuesday. The post Radical Texas Sex Therapist Who Vowed to Convert ICE Facility into Prison for American Zionists Loses Democrat Congressional Primary appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
Establishment Republicans are not the only ones who have suffered stunning electoral upsets lately.After more than two decades in Congress, Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) lost the Democratic primary runoff on Tuesday to Rep. Christian Menefee (D-Texas), a man not only 40 years Green's junior but who just took his seat in Congress a few months ago.'The President of the United States is a racist, a bigot, a misogynist, as well as an invidious prevaricator.'Texas Republicans can take credit for forcing a contest between two sitting Democratic congressmen. After the Texas congressional district map was redrawn, the 9th district suddenly became much redder, compelling Green to seek the 18th district seat currently occupied by Menefee.Neither Menefee nor Green managed to crest the 50% of the vote needed to win the Democratic primary outright on March 3. Menefee eked out a slight edge over Green that night, 46% to 44%.By contrast, the primary runoff on Tuesday was a blowout in which Menefee trounced Green nearly 70% to 30%. The outcome was so unexpected that NBC News chief data analyst Steve Kornacki called it "jarring."Menefee was gracious in victory, stating, "Congressman Green, brother, I want to give you your flowers. I want to thank you for your service to people across Houston and Harris County."Green claimed the loss would mark the move "to another chapter in life," adding, "I plan to continue to have a career associated with service."RELATED: Rep. Al Green forced into runoff with candidate half his age after failing to get 50% of Democratic primary vote Rep. Christian Menefee and other Democrats; Nathan Posner/Anadolu/Getty ImagesThe extent to which Green has "served" his constituents in Texas since he was first elected in 2004 is a matter of debate. Even the Houston Chronicle acknowledged that Green is not necessarily as well known for "shepherding high-profile legislation" as he is for building "influence through seniority and committee assignments."At the national level, Green, a former president of the Houston chapter of the NAACP, is probably best known for his race-based activism and anti-Trump animus."The President of the United States is a racist, a bigot, a misogynist, as well as an invidious prevaricator," he railed in July 2019. "To say that Donald John Trump is unfit for the Office of the President of the United States is an understatement."Since Trump began his first term in office in 2017, Green has introduced or co-sponsored articles of impeachment against him at least four times. Green has also been forcefully removed from each of Trump's last two State of the Union addresses, most recently back in February, when he carried a sign that read, "Black people aren't apes!"Trump is not the only racist Republican in Green's eyes. Green has also leveled accusations of racism against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Tennessee Rep. Diana Harshbarger, and all the Texas state lawmakers, including Gov. Greg Abbott, who helped redraw the congressional map.The 18th District of Texas is deep blue, and Menefee is expected to coast through the general election in November against Ronald Whitfield, who secured the Republican nomination in March after earning just 4,500 total votes.Like Blaze News?

All four co-hosts of MS NOW’s “Morning Joe” were uncommonly happy on Wednesday morning after watching a clip of newly anointed Texas US Senate candidate Ken Paxton deliver his victory speech over incumbent Sen. John Cornyn, calling it a gift to Democrats.Paxton’s win over the 4-term senator was largely made possible by the endorsement of Donald Trump, and now Republicans after expending millions and millions on the primary, are now saddled with a candidate with a wealth of scandals and criminal charges in his past.Co-host Joe Scarborough immediately pounced on the Republican Party’s dilemma, telling his panel, “Every democrat in America says thank you. Because what they have just done, what, by this guy right here by overwhelmingly doing it, which is again, people say, ‘Oh, there needs to be a strong Republican Party.’ Really? This is what the Republican primary gives you. No, no, I don't think there needs to be a strong Republican Party, especially if this is what the Republican Party produces. But think it's hard to estimate.”“Did Texas Republicans just cost the Republican Party $20 million, $30, $40, $50 million, $100 million that they could have spent in Maine, that they could have spent in Iowa, that they could have spent in Ohio, that they could have spent in Alaska,” he added. “Like they have cost Republicans maybe $100 million that could go to other competitive races.”“Meanwhile, the really — Donald Trump has enraged Republican senators who are now saying, 'Okay, first of all, you get this yahoo that you endorse and now we're going to have to work with rightfully very angry John Cornyn' … So, yeah, this is a huge win for Democrats.”Co-host Willie Geist contributed, “Paxton won last night by almost 30 points. 28 points is the margin — It was not close. And now you saw a little glint in the eye of [Democratic nominee] James Talarico and Democrats.” - YouTube youtu.be
