A tweet by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton that the mob that rioted at the U.S. Capitol were not Trump supporters has been met with harsh rebukes from some Lone Star State lawyers on Twitter.
Paxton was in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday and delivered a speech prior to President Donald Trump at a rally just before the mob breached the Capitol, forcing lawmakers into lockdown and disrupting the counting of elector votes to certify Joe Biden’s victory over the White House.
