Ken Paxton used 'fake Uber accounts to meet his girlfriend,' Sen. John Cornyn's campaign hits back

Source: The Independent

Shortly after MAGA favorite and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced his plans to run for the Senate in 2026, he was hit with allegations about his personal life by his rival’s campaign. Paxton will challenge fellow Republican, five-time incumbent Sen. John Cornyn in the upcoming primary race.

"I am announcing that I am running for U.S. Senate against John Cornyn," Paxton said in an interview on Fox News show The Ingraham Angle. "We have another great U.S. senator, Ted Cruz (from Texas), and it's time we have another great senator that will actually stand up and fight for Republican values, fight for the values of the people of Texas and also support ... Donald Trump in the areas that he's focused on in a very significant way."

Cornyn's campaign immediately highlighted the senator's support for Trump and called Paxton, 62, a fraud. “He says he’s anti-woke, but he funnels millions of taxpayer dollars to lawyers who celebrate DEI. And Ken claims to be a man of faith but uses fake Uber accounts to meet his girlfriend and deceive his family.”

"Ken Paxton is a fraud," Cornyn's team said, touting that the senator has often voted in favor of Trump's agenda. Trump, a Republican, has previously expressed support for both Paxton and Cornyn, 73, who will be seeking a fifth term.

The mistress was not named in the legislation, lest Mr. Paxton deploy the resources of the AG’s office against its enforcement.

(I made that last part up.)

If it's diameter or length, that wouldn't even meet a drs. prescription for a dilator post-vaginectomy or post-radiation treatments for endo/uterine cancer.

That is not really blackmail material in most societies, shouldn’t really phase anyone. The super religious are probably the ones with the most. I mean really what does it matter if you have one or ten, they are so bloody stupid.
