'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.

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.

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.

Weird eye Ken is struggling.

I think it will be bad for the country when Ken loses, but I am not going to shed a tear over it. Guy's a royal POS.

It was a terrible nomination. The silver lining is it will likely end his political career at a national level.

The downside is we will have an effeminate, vegetable-eating social justice warrior as our Senator. God help us.

I find it hard to believe that in the entire state of Texas, population 31.7 million, the GOP couldn't find a single Texan to run who would have been more articulate, less corrupt, with fewer skeletons in his closet than Paxton.

Which raises the question of whether they actually wanted to.

funny thing about you weak kneed pansies railing on Talirico. He's 4th generation Texas unlike a lot of you carpet baggers. He's a big BBQ guy. What in the world are you freaks Talking about mutilating children. No clue what you are referring, but a candidate who's about to beat a Republican so any of that is utter non sense. Some of you I thought were smarter. guess not.

My ancestors bought their land from Spain…yes Spain

Their land grant is from the King of Spain (not Mexico)…my Dad has a copy of the document framed at the house

Dad and I are both in the Sons of the Republic of Texas and Sons of Confederate Veterans.

(Mom and sisters are DAR, DRT, UDC)

When did your people get to Texas again?

Why do you find it hard to believe? Texans don't participate in voting. Especially no presidential elections.

In this case, we took out a powerful senator for a corrupt politician based on the word of a corrupt president. I wish Cornyn had maned up early on and used his power instead of getting punked by Trump.

Regardless, these Takarici rallies are energetic and packed. I can't wait to see what he does after Labor Day.

Like always....you are putting far to much blame on Trump

Texans had disliked Cornyn for a long long time.

And Cornyn has to be blamed for being a powerful Senator for 24 years! And yet he failed to win a actual voter base in Texas (most Texans could not stand him or were lukewarm about him)....he focused his whole career on building a rich donor base instead.

"A highly energized faction of the party rejected Cornyn's institutional Senate credentials, viewing him as part of the Washington establishment rather than an insurgent fighter... Cornyn represented an older establishment, Bush-style conservative approach focused on institutional power. Cornyn's involvement in negotiating and passing the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (gun control legislation) along with various amnesty proposals in the end alienated the conservative base, with critics labeling it as a betrayal of his voters."

In the end Cornyn only has himself to blame....he spend decades "using his power" to help the donor class and suck up to corporate interests and progressives in DC. Instead of caring about his voters and building up his power there among the rank and file of the party in Texas.

Texans sent him to the senate. Some disliked him. No doubt.

I'm may be wrong, I believe Texans would have loved a Senator with balls.

"Christian family values" in politics are going down the tube similar to "follow the science ".

Only one of those two things are responsible for thousands upon thousands of deaths.

You serious, Clark? We talking about the same limp-wristed, 37-year-old effeminate dude who's never been married (what a shock), has no kids, has never had any serious relationships with women, talks about God being "non-binary," says Texas needs to reduce meat consumption, wore masks everywhere he went for years, and constantly talks about how much he loves trans kinds?

I couldn't care less if he's been here for 8 generations - dude is either a closeted homo or just a complete and total pansy. Guy is my state rep. I know him well.

You must be into effeminate men.

According to what leaked from the Epstein files Trump likes assaulting them as young as 13 or 14. On Howard Stern he essentially said 12 is his cut off.

More BS from TS, I see.
