Texas Tribune uncovers disturbing ties between Nick Fuentes and Defend Texas Liberty, a major player in AG Ken Paxton's defense and a $3 million donor to Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, raising questions ahead of Paxton's abuse of power trial.
One of the insidious "ties that bind" global antisemitism....unwound this week on the Texas political landscape in a genuinely scandalous way.
It happened when the Texas Tribune revealed meetings and apparent collaboration between known white supremacist Nick Fuentes and the leadership of Defend Texas Liberty- an ultra ultra-right super Pac at the core of Attorney General Ken Paxton’s impeachment defense as well as a major donor to lt. Governor Dan Patrick.
How major? How about $3 million dollars "major" - funds delivered to the leader of the Texas senate just prior to the Paxton trial for abuse of power? Enter House Speaker Dade Phelan who said -"this is not a casual misstep. It's indicative of the moral, political rot that has been festering in a certain segment of our party for far too long. Antisemitism, bigotry, and Hitler apologists should find no sanctuary in the Republican Party".
In response - Patrick not only refused to return the $3 million, he demanded Phelan resign....later labeling the Defend Texas Liberty association with Fuentes as a "blunder" that won't be repeated by the PAC’s billionaire underwriters Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks. DAILY NEWSLETTERto the
