Ken Paxton keeps dodging debates. So I called his cell to invite him to a debate on Fox News. He didn’t pick up.

O
Hey I'm calling about a pen I found that might be yours

🔥😎 Talarico for U.S. Senate! 💙💙💙 #TeamTalarico

James was way more polite than I would be leaving that message. 🤣
-
Paxton is a criminal and a coward. Just like Tramp.
-
Invite him to public event, and if he doesn't show, "debate" him anyway?
-
Years ago we had an incumbent who was bulletproof inn a huge military town. The candidate who was running against him was a retired USAF General Dem. We held a debate. The Rep. hadn't responded so we had the debate anyway. We hung an empty suit on a rack in place of the Rep. Dem took questions 1/2

On brand not just for Paxton but for every Republican running for office ~ they can’t defend the indefensible so they hide.

PLEASE be ready to contest your election if you don’t win!!! You MUST ask for a recount and audit!! Don’t roll over like Dems did in 2024 😞
-
The fact he didn’t block your number is interesting.
-
"New phone who dis" "It's Talarico, Ken" "This is Ben. Ben Faxton. You have the wrong number." "I can see you out the window on the phone, Ken." "No, my name is Ben. I clearly just told you."
-
This is the kind of discourse we need right now in this country 💖
-
😂 when I first read that you called his cell I immediately thought of prison cell!!

So have all the TV stations show up and debate an empty lectern. He'll show up.

I'd like to see this particular debate covered nationally.

It's probably staged. No idea how Talerico would have Paxton's personal cell number. Hella good ad though!
-
“I haven’t any courage at all.” “Sometimes, I scare myself.”
-
Paxton won’t answer the call, Talarico will
-
Continue doing that until Paxton blocks you!! 👏 Apparently, the man who wants the job is also afraid to answer the phone. 📞🤦🇨🇦
-
it will be nice when "his cell" actually refers to his jail cell
-
I’m telling you a guy in a chicken suit showing up at every Paxton event is the way to go. Fascists hate being mocked. Run ads with chickens thanking Paxton for taking their side. Endorsed by chickens everywhere. If you’re a chicken vote Paxton! We’re chickens and we approved this message.
-
Please tell me it will be live streamed somewhere so those of us outside of Texas can laugh at Ken Paxton along with all of those in Texas.
-
Seems more like a coward! Who wants a coward in office? There are too many GOP cowards already.
