Speaker Phelan in Texas Legislature faces primary challenge



2/24/24:

It appears that several members from the State legislature on the GOP side are being primaried. Plus there's one in my district, who is not running for reelection.

It's probably a bit of fallout from the impeachment of Ken Paxton. That impeachment was a self-inflicted wound. The GOP does things like this, when it ought to be more concerned about what the political left is doing.

My regrets are that I've not paid enough attention to local politics. Federal politics takes up too much oxygen, I suppose.



end update of 2/19/24 post, the original post follows directly below:



Phelan and others backed the ouster of Paxton. But this may not have been the only time that the RINO faction went against the wishes of Texas voters. (The following assertion isn't confirmed here, so it has to be qualified as an example.) Speaker Phelan may have given committee chairs to Democrats, even the measure was voted down on a statewide ballot. What could be more revealing? ( if true)

But the author of the article linked in the tweet, uses the term "far right" for anybody who opposes such an anti-democratic act. Usage of such terminology is a dead giveaway for leftist influence. Nobody should fall for it. Leftism all to often employs dishonesty in order to further their goals.
