Ken Paxton's Christian identity politics mask record of scandal
Original: Ken Paxton’s Christian identity politics obscure a history of scandal | Sidney Blumenthal
Sidney Blumenthal argues in The Guardian that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton leans on Christian identity politics to distract from a long history of scandal, including his impeachment, securities fraud accusations, and whistleblower disputes. The piece frames Paxton's religious framing as a deliberate shield for ethics controversies that have followed him throughout his political career.
Why now: Paxton remains a polarising national Republican figure, and commentary linking his religious rhetoric to his scandals draws attention during ongoing political debates
