Ken Paxton Runs Away When Asked About His Alleged Voting Fraud

The Texas attorney general and Republican Senate candidate allegedly voted in six elections while registered at an address where he does not live.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is literally running away from accusations of voter fraud.

A bombshell report earlier this month exposed Paxton for allegedly voting in six elections while registered at an address where he does not live.

Ex–60 Minutes Journalist Exposes How Bari Weiss Tried to Help Trump

Weiss apparently even mixed up two wildly different states in her efforts.

CBS News chief Bari Weiss has been so busy skewing the storied network’s coverage that she’s gotten basic facts wrong—including elementary details about America’s leaders and where they’re from.

Fired 60 Minutes correspondent Cecilia Vega spilled the tea at the National Association of Hispanic Journalists Conference in New Orleans Thursday, revealing that she had endured network pressure on a number of issues before she was canned, including one particularly stunning dispute over a story on SNAP benefit cuts in West Virginia.

While stopping short of referring to Weiss by name, Vega said her decision to tell the story strictly through the eyes of West Virginians had spurred backlash from CBS’s “new” top brass because she had not interviewed Vice President JD Vance or referred to his decade-old memoir, Hillbilly........
