'Why Did You Cheat on Your Wife?' Ken Paxton Hit With Brutal Town Hall Question

https://www.mediaite.com/media/news/why-did-you-cheat-on-your-wife-ken-paxton-hit-with-brutal-town-hall-question/

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) was confronted with a blunt question about his personal life during a Monday town hall when a caller asked him directly, "Why did you cheat on your wife?"

Paxton, who is running against Texas state Rep. James Talarico (D) for U.S. Senate, has seen his campaign dogged by a series of scandals, despite securing President Donald Trump's endorsement over longtime Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX). The Texas attorney general has faced scrutiny over allegations of voter fraud and his office's plea deal with child sex predator Adam Hoffman.

Not to mention, Paxton's marriage has provided its own source of political turmoil. His wife, Texas state Sen. Angela Paxton (R), filed for divorce last year "on biblical grounds," with court filings citing adultery. The divorce proceedings, which threatened to air potentially damaging details in open court, were later pulled from the trial docket as the couple worked toward a settlement. More recently, Paxton has faced scrutiny over photos of him traveling in Europe with Christian influencer Tracy Duhon, amid reports that the two have been romantically involved since 2024.

In the Monday town hall, footage from one Instagram user shows a caller remarking, "Nice to meet you," before asking, "I'm just wondering why did you cheat on your wife?"
Paxton responded:

Um, I'm not gonna talk about personal issues that relate to my family, just like I don't think you would wanna discuss your marriage on a call with thousands of people. All I can tell you is that I'm proud of my kids. I've got four wonderful kids. I've got seven grandchildren well, six and one on the way. There's a lot at stake, and so while I care about this country, I'm not gonna talk about things that would affect them, so thank you very much for your question.

So much for Christian Family Values.

he will fit right in with Trump the serial cheater. Cheating when his son was 1 month old. Add in Lutnick. you can say one thing about that POS. He cheated with an adult. Trump. not so much.

I'm not surprised. I don't see Texans continuing down this immoral path.

Texans do not have anyone with fine Christian morals to vote for in the senate race without writing in someone with said character - which only works if millions do the same thing. I don't see a super pac forming to organize and promote that.

Like advocating for the removal of kids' genitals?

---

I'm gonna bet you $1 dollar. For me to win, two conditions must be true.

The bet is

1. You don't know one person who's had their genitals removed

2. You know at least two people who have either been sexually assaulted as a child or have gotten away with sexual assault because they were rich, powerful or connected.

Then they will sit. What I'm seeing is people are saying enough to Ken Paxton types.

I keep looking at Mamdani and asking myself, "Why do we continue to allow the Eric Adams types to hold jobs and do nothing for the people?"

In Texas, republicans have held statewide office for at least 30 years. How does it make sense that they are running to fix all that's wrong in Texas from the libs?

Are they not unhappy with Talrico types as well? I believe they are.

He appears to have the right tone. Unless he get caught with a hooker, I think he wins.

Gosh, a politician who cheated on his wife or an open borders, rainbow cult promoting trans kid loving freak?

For decades (basically the whole post-WWII era) liberals endlessly mocked their fellow Americans for caring about candidates having Christian values.

Looks like many Americans finally decided to listen to the liberals and stop caring about that....
