In a sign of the Republican runoff race for attorney general is getting ugly and personal, Attorney General Ken Paxton's campaign has launched an attack website against his runoff opponent, Land Commissioner George P. Bush, georgepbushfacts.com, prompting Bush to launch one of his own.
The site calls Bush a "Republican in name only" (RINO): "Land Commissioner George P. Bush: The RINO Establishment Darling Who Has Sold Out Texas"
Striking at a very sensitive topic for conservative voters, the site starts by saying:
Bush responded with an attack site of his own, kenthecrook.com.
--------------------------------------------------
"The Alamo and its brave defenders are a deeply cherished part of Texas history, but Land Commissioner George P. Bush controversially demanded that the Cenotaph, the monument that honors our Texas heroes, be moved from the Alamo."
Bush has said that while he initially supported moving the monument, he quickly backed off the idea when it was apparent it had no public support.
The website continues by attacking Bush's response to Hurricane Harvey with allegedly slow disaster aid, it attacks him for his support of the DREAM act, which would give children of illegal aliens citizenship, and says that he is "bought and paid for" by Democrats and RINOS.
Bush's site calls out, "Crooked Ken Paxton," saying, "Ken Paxton is nothing more than a corrupt career politician who does not have the moral fortitude to serve in any elected position in Texas."
In language that could easily be used by a Democrat against Paxton if he wins the runoff, the site states: "THIS MAN DOESN'T RESPECT THE LAW. AND HE DOESN'T RESPECT YOU. IT'S TIME TO FIRE KEN PAXTON."
Bush has continually asserted on the campaign trail that Paxton is too damaged to win against a Democrat in the fall election.
