Texas newspaper slams GOP AG Paxton after he urges Mike Lindell followers to "harass" judges

A Prominent Texas newspaper's editorial board published a scathing article on Friday slamming the southwestern state's Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican, after he urged followers of My Pillow founder Mike Lindell to "harass" judges that had ruled against him.

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals—the top court for criminal cases in the state—issued an 8 to 1 opinion on December 15, finding that Paxton could not unilaterally prosecute election cases. Paxton, a staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump, has been a key promoter of baseless claims that the 2020 election was rife with widespread voter fraud.
