Well it's official. Paxton was impeached by both Democrats and Republicans, mostly by Republicans, as there's more Republicans in the state house. Now our attorney general, who was strongly re- elected by the voters, might be impeached today because he's a political opponent of the of the opposing party. No, no, no, no, no opposing party here. Look, you're you're both Republican.

The lead investigator is. Do you see how it could appear or it could be perceived by anyone in the building or outside the building uh when they're Democrats? Uh could you see how it could be appear that it's a politically motivated investigation? No, on their behalf. I could also see that uh multiple of those persons

that we hired to work for us also worked in the U.S. attorney's office for a Republican appointee from a Republican president. So yes, in truth, there are people on both sides of the aisle, though of course Tinderhole doesn't care about that. He cares about perception over truth. So check out this logic.

I believe perception is truth to the person that perceives. So if someone perceives something, it's truth. Well, that is some one-sided logic right there. The truth doesn't matter, only perception. More importantly, his perception, and Tinderholt wants to perceive that it's the Democrats' fault that Paxton is getting impeached, even though Republicans lead the chamber and dominate the chamber.
