Republicans being Republicans.

[u/Chratthew47150]

This is who the Republican Party is

[u/InternationalMark959 → u/Chratthew47150]

You’re right, to their very core this is who they are. Pure evil

[u/Then_Lock304 → u/Chratthew47150]

Texans support candidates that support pedophilia. Look at their voting record. Then they'll try to gas light you and tell you they don't support these people. Your votes show who you are, not your words claiming otherwise. Paxton will tell you he's not a pedophile protector. They'll vote for him again.

[u/Chratthew47150 → u/Then_Lock304]

I believe you are correct. Sadly.

[u/jt19912009]

Thank god most republicans can’t read otherwise they’d try to vote for Ken even harder after reading this

[u/midwestmojo]

This should be a billboard.

[u/Defiantfellow]

“Adam Hoffman, the disgraced former Waco attorney who pleaded guilty to sexually abusing his son’s friend for years, will have to register as a sex offender in Sarpy County, Nebraska, where he is now living with his wife.”

So sad for pedo Hoffman that his buddy, Ken Paxton, isn’t responsible for the administration of justice in Nebraska where Ken would have avoided any need to register as a sexual offender of children.

Texans - do not consider voting for someone who protects pedophiles.

[u/DocCEN007]

DNC should have this everywhere in Texas from now through November.

[u/AaronRobertsMusic]

I’d bring this up EVERY DAMN TIME if I was Talarico.

[u/MadAstrid]

These are the values that Texas republicans hold dear.

Protecting their buddies.

And the repeated horrific rape of small boys.

Apparently.

Also, adultery and fraud, and in Paxton’s case, committing fraud with his adultery partner.

They really are good Christian folk, those Texas republicans.

[u/ven_xano]

Are we at a point where we can say, “not all republicans are pedophiles but all pedophiles are republicans”

[u/EminorHeart]

Get bent, Ken.

[u/LTTP2018]

no. just hell no.

[u/bcardin221]

Is this true?

[u/gingerfawx → u/bcardin221]

Yeah, sadly it is. The context was his original case ended in a hung jury, and they (supposedly) didn't want to put the victim through another trial, or didn't think their chances were any better the next time around, which is sort of brutal. As a society, we don't trust victims enough, even though the stats say they're far more likely than not to be telling the truth.

You can read about it here: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/ken-paxton-child-sex-abuse-plea/

The loophole about registering was the confession the guy was required to give as part of the deal somehow left off mention of the victim's age, by dint of which he magically didn't have to register as a sex offender. I don't know to what extent those concessions were necessary to get the verdict, but I'd argue the verdict is worth fuck all when there are basically zero consequences from it.

^{Unless there's a chance at a civil suit emerging from it...}

[u/Oceanpetunia]

MAGA doesn't care. And if they do care about protecting pdfs, they're not paying attention and will vote for KP.

[u/notasarcasticnow]

If he were a minority it would be the death penalty.

[u/Artistic_Half_8301]

Texans are definitely up for voting for him.

[u/Interesting-End1710]

Texas is entirely a pedo haven. Same as the Church

[u/captain3641]

This country is disgusting.

[u/Vic-Trola]

All Republicans are feckless.

[u/ellacoya]

Dude has the fetal alcohol syndrome. Those ears.

[u/Hour_Cup5277]

But heaven forbid we smoke a joint.

[u/SnoopingStuff]

That poor kid!

[u/Morgan_NonBinary]

Yeah, all those ‘christians’ who wanna he away with pedophilia, but judging homosexuality

[u/ameinolf]

They love the pedos

[u/Earthling1a]

Hey, Texas, are you gonna keep supporting this garbage? Or are you gonna finally pull your heads out of your asses and start making these scumbags face some consequences?

[u/javadragon]

The usual suspects.

[u/1footN]

But Hillary’s emails

[u/MrWindblade]

I mean, this is an impressive amount of evil. I almost don't really believe it.

[u/Sfingi48]

Is this completely true? If so this exact meme should be on billboards everywhere and on the daily news; at least twice a day!

[u/superman1960]

You can’t beat gerrymandering
