“Gutter politician.” “Entitled.” Things got heated between Republicans trying to unseat Attorney General Ken Paxton during a candidate debate Thursday, even though the incumbent wasn’t there.
Bush and Guzman went after each other’s records and legal qualifications, with both candidates dropping their ceremonial titles and addressing each other by first name throughout the debate. Bush called Guzman a “gutter politician,” while Guzman said Bush was “entitled” and angry that she had jumped into the race.into allegations of bribery and abuse of office and present himself as a conservative alternative without the baggage.
Bush’s campaign said Guzman’s camp had referenced the company of Bush’s wife in a negative mailer implying conflicts of interest. Bush, who was the first GOP candidate to file to run against Paxton, comes from a political dynasty that includes his uncle, former President George W. Bush, and his father, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.
“It’s because he is under indictment for fraud,” Gohmert said, referring to a seven-year-old securities fraud case that is ongoing and adding that Paxton is also under FBI investigation. “He’s likely going to be indicted after the primary when we can’t replace him.”“Ken, I know you’re watching, you’re sitting there on your couch,” he said. “When are you going to come out of the shadows?”
