TX-Sen

In an early sign of how ugly this race is going to be, John Cornyn was the first out of the gate to accuse Ken Paxton of promoting SHARIA LAW in Texas. The context is plans for a 402 acre suburban development outside of Dallas. The developers are affiliated with the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC).

Outrage over this development which is basically 100% Islamphobic has bubbled up from the darkest corners of Twitter to every elected official in Texas who are going out of their way to reassure Texans they are doing everything they can to stop this. Greg Abbott said no less than 12 Texas state agencies are working to stop this project.

EPIC hired Paxton's criminal defense lawyer Dan Cogdell to represent them which Cornyn's campaign posted on Twitter who Cogdell's current client is.

Right-wing Christians only (maybe Jews if they are feeling lenient at the moment).

One of Abbott's biggest donors is a Muslim CEO and Owner of an oil company.

The greed of some always amazes me.
