Texas AG Admits He Helped Rig The 2020 Election In Texas For Trump

During an appearance on Steve Bannon's podcast last week, indicted Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said that if his office hadn't blocked Harris County in Texas from mailing out applications for mail-in ballots, Trump would have lost the state. This is an admission that the block was partisan, and that Paxton helped rig the game for Trump. Farron Cousins discusses this startling revelation.

During a recent interview with Steve Bannon on Bannon's war room podcast, indicted Republican, Texas attorney general, Ken Paxton admitted to helping essentially rig the election in the state of Texas so that Donald Trump would win the state. Here it is, as Ken Paxton explained it. These are his own words. If we'd lost Harris county, which is where Houston is, Trump won by 620,000 votes in Texas Harris county mail-in ballots that they wanted to send out where two and

A half million. Those were all illegal. We were able to stop every one of them.

Had we not done that we would have been in the very same situation we would have been on election day. I was watching on election night and I knew when I saw what was happening in these other states, that would have been Texas. We would have been in the same boat. We would have been one of those battleground states that were counting votes in Harris county for three days. And Donald Trump would have lost the election. First of all, it's a, it's pretty rich for a guy that's been indicted for securities fraud to, uh, talk about things being illegal. And no, it would not have been illegal to send out two and a half million million ballot applications to people in Harris county, because that's the thing here. These weren't just these weren't ballots. This was sending an application, Hey, we're in the middle of a pandemic.

Would you like to vote by mail? So you don't put yourself at risk when you try to go to the polling station. And Ken Paxton is out there bragging that he's the one who blocked those applications from going out so that Trump could win the state for no other reason than to prevent Joe Biden from winning Texas and turning Texas blue for the first time, since the 1970s and Ken Paxton just admitted to it. He rigged it. He absolutely 100% rigged the election in the state of Texas through his power as attorney general so that Trump could win.

We're at a point where Texas had it not been for the massive voter suppression and the voter suppression law, they just passed. Texas would be blue. It absolutely would be. And this is why Republicans are so desperate to pass laws, especially in places like Texas, to prevent more people from boat voting. The demographics have shifted in Texas, just like they're shifting in areas all over the country. They shifted in Arizona and Nevada. And look what, and that frightens people like Ken Paxton frightened people like Texas, governor Greg Abbott, because they understand that as these demographics shift, as they continue to screw over their state and offer them absolutely nothing, their days would be numbered and they would stand no chance of ever winning reelection. Again, if they didn't stop the Democrats from voting, that is the point of all of this, not in Texas, but in Georgia, in Arizona, in other places all over the country, Florida that's what's happened.

Bye cars. Voters are rejecting Republican ideology and the younger generation that's just now eligible to vote has only been eligible to vote, you know, for four or five years now, they widely reject it. They are not embracing conservatism at all at any number that would indicate the Republican party could remain alive. I do believe based on these shifts and based on the fact that the Republican party is only getting crazier in offering literally nothing to the American public, the Republican party is going to die in our lifetime, but if it wasn't for voter suppression, as Ken Paxton admitted himself, the Republican party, they would have already been dead.
