President Trump offered unusually frank commentary regarding one of his political allies during a series of campaign appearances in Texas and Oklahoma, describing Republican Senate hopeful Ken Paxton as “a pain in the ass” and admitting the candidate was “a little controversial.” The remarks stood out for their candor just weeks before the November elections.
Trump Calls Endorsed Candidate Ken Paxton ‘Pain in the Ass’ in Texas and Oklahoma
Sounds like classic Trump. Is this really helping Paxton’s chances, or just more chaos before November?
I find it fascinating that he said this publicly. Most politicians keep that kind of frustration strictly behind closed doors.
