Ken Paxton voted against a bill making animal abusers pay to treat the animals they hurt. Paxton went on to protect a research lab that tortured 400 puppies.

When you’re applying for the job of U.S. Senator, you should show up for the job interview. Ken Paxton showed up in London on the 4th of July to party with the British. He showed up in Dubai to party with fugitives. He’ll show up anywhere but a debate stage in Texas.
