Paxton divorce bombshell rocks Republican Senate primary in Texas

Texas’s Attorney General Kane Pasteton announced the funding of “historic” $ 2.9 million in the last three months for its Republican Senate campaign on Friday morning.

‘Bible Grounds’ – Files for Divorce of Ken Pasteon’s wife

The state senator wrote in a social media post, “Today, 38 years after the wedding, I filed for divorce on the Bible ground.”

“I believe that marriage is a sacred covenant and I honestly chased reconciliation,” she said. “But in the light of recent discoveries, I do not believe that it respects God or is in love with his, his children or Kane to stay in a wedding.”

In his own statement, Kane Pasteton stated that “after facing countless political attacks and public investigation, I have decided to start a new chapter in my life.”

The Attorney General said that “I can not be more proud or grateful to that incredible family, which God has blessed us, and I am committed to support my wonderful children and grandchildren. I ask for your prayer and privacy at this time.”

Trump colleague Pasteon launched Senate Primary Challenge in Texas

Pasteon, who first won the election as a Texas Attorney General in 2014 and was re -elected, was an impeachment by the Texas House of Representatives of Election of Corruption a few years ago, consisting of claims related to an extramarital affair. He was later acquitted by the state Senate.

An veteran Republican strategist in Texas, when asked how the divorce bomb would affect the Senate primary, said whether there are more harmful revelations.

The strategist said, “Most of the people who are talking to are expecting a lot of information in this story that the Republican primary voters are not very happy,” said the strategist who said to be anonymous to speak more independently. “I think there is a lot to come and soon.”

Pasteton said in his funding release that he was “blown with the support received since I started the campaign. John Cornin continues to be strong every day at the ground level to set fire, and this is just the beginning.”

Pasteon said, “Our voters have been excited to send John Cornin packing over the years, which is why it is more than 20 points, and his campaign is getting more and more frustrated,” Pasteton said, as he had indicated to lead himself to the senator in several recent elections.

Thanks to his strong support between Maga World, voting was never a problem in taking the cornein.

The more important issue was whether he could compete financially with a senator with a history of strong money raising.

Cornin’s campaign has not yet announced its second quarter funds. But Texas for a conservative majority, a corner-based super PAC, announced on 1 July that he had rakes $ 10.9 million in the last three months.

A separate GOP advisor in Texas, who also said for oblivion, said that Paxon needs to answer questions to ensure that supporters and donors do not jump the ship.

“Those who are supporting them with their public support, such as elected officers, or those who are financially supporting them, want a very quick answer, as in today, what is the disadvantage. What is true? Do you reject it? Can other issues come up if your spouse is looking to tell his version of the truth,” the advisor said.

And the advisor said that Pasteton’s wife who says that it would be important to move forward.

“State Sen Angel Paxon was in favor of Kane for the entire saga in the last decade and with all the issues closely and individually with those who have been accused. He is the front and center for it.”

While Cornin’s campaign did not make any statement about the divorce news, but it released a release, titled: “The terrible week of Ken Pasteton.”

It included a social media post by Matt Shefeer, a conservative member of the state legislature, who argued that “Paxon is unqualified to organize an office in a morally.”

While Trump is still neutral in primary, the Leader of the Senate’s majority is supporting John Thune and the National Republican Setrolian Committee (NRSC) Cornin.

There is a possibility that another Republican can enter the Senate primary.

Three-Term Rape Wesley Hunt, a growing Maga star that represents a Houston-region district, is reducing a Senate run. Sources confirmed Fox News earlier this year that Hunt had made a case for President Donald Trump’s political team to win both GOP primary and general election.

And on Friday, a Texas -based conservative strategist who asked to be anonymous to speak more independently, told Fox News that he believes that “Hunt is still the only candidate in Texas who can win primary and general election.”

A separate advisor mentioned that “there is a possibility that the possibility of getting out of the Kane race dramatically changes dynamics,” and that “it gives something to think exactly about the hunt.”
