The Ken Paxton Corruption Hotline is now receiving thousands of voicemails. Listen to what they’re saying: “Ken Paxton is corrupt.” “I’m voting for James Talarico!” Texans are tired of corruption — and ready for something new.

John Oliver lists off just some of Ken Paxton’s scandals: “Paxton spent nearly 9 years under indictment for securities fraud... He was also accused of bribery and abuse of office by eight of his own top deputies... But wait, because I'm still not done.”

Joe Rogan: Why are you a Democrat? Talarico: My mother saw Texas Democrats like Ann Richards, people who fought for the little guy. That was the classic Democratic Party. I asked my mom what we were, and she was like, ‘We're Democrats, because Democrats fight for the people.’

When Jesus healed the sick, he didn’t ask for a deductible. When he fed the hungry, he didn’t price gouge for a profit. When the Hebrew prophets saw corruption, they spoke truth to power. When I take on this corrupt system, I’m doing it on biblical grounds.
