Gavin Newsom tweet re: Paxton.... irony

[IcyPeas]

So the guy who is trying to throw women in jail for fleeing the state to receive reproductive care LITERALLY FLED HIS HOME to avoid a subpoena concerning abortion access.

The irony is almost unbearable.

1. All these GOP bullies and abusers are true cowards.

13. It goes with their chickenhawkish tendencies n/t

2. Love Gavin

He is a fighter and learned a ton from Gov. Brown.

I hope he is considered after Biden has completed his second term.

4. He has my vote for 2028 if he runs (and I'm still around).

3. It is Unbearable! TY & Gov Newsom

7. Kick.

I'm really envious of California's governor. We're stuck with a thug here in MT who believes dinosaurs roamed the earth 6000 years ago. ugh.

14. I have family in Western MT and they're largely progressive, too bad they're in the minority.

The owner of Wonkette.com just moved from MT to Detroit to get away from the crazy.

19. I had no idea

Wonkette lived in MT! Wow.

Western MT is still progressive…at least here in Missoula. However, we’ve got an influx of Texans since Covid and that can’t be good.

8. He's been under indictment for fraud for years

and I can't figure out why he's never faced a jury of his peers for that one.

12. One word: Texas.

[Warpy]

17. I can't figger it out

I live next door in NM and I've never seen anything at the border beyond a change in signage and maybe a steeper grade on the NM side, so it can't be anything in the air, soil, or probably water. Texas just looks collectively nuts from here.

11. Good one, Gav

[Midnight Writer]

15. Just heard on Hate Radio. They claim the server did not identify himself and was threatening.

I wonder if Paxton will stick to that story under oath. Probably, since he seems to be untouchable.

[Farmer-Rick]

16. Not only are pro abortion groups suing him

The state bar association is suing him.

He should be use to being served by now. He's a criminal.

[Ford_Prefect]

18. Back in the day he'd have been Tarred, Feathered and run out of town on a rail.

There's a common term in Texas for people who do act the way he does: Chickenshit.

Scrape it off your boots before you come into the house.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

20. The cowardice and hypocrisy are almost unbearable. Tough on (manufactured for others) crime.

Roe, Roe, Roe your vote
against theocracy!
Republicans revoke your rights
and kill democracy!

THESE are the races that will determine control of the House of Representatives:

21. His election opponents' ads just write themselves.

Not that they would work in Texas, but at least they would be entertaining. If he is so committed to his cause, why not relish the chance to fight for it in court? In his election ads, he should be barred for saying anything like, "I'll fight for you" without the disclaimer, "*unless served with a subpoena".
