Psaki: No Surprise for Trump to Endorse Ken Paxton, ‘A Deeply Flawed,’ ‘Incredibly Ethically Challenged’ Candidate

RUSH EXCERPT:

PSAKI: “I’ve worked in politics for a very long time. I cannot remember a primary race in recent history that was a bigger dumpster fire on the air and otherwise than this one. And while all of that was going on, Trump waited until late last week before deciding to endorse Ken Paxton. Real profile in courage there. Now, Ken Paxton is a deeply flawed and, shall we say, incredibly ethically challenged candidate. And honestly, that shouldn’t have been a surprise. The endorsement. That is because after all of paxton’s many scandals, which I would say run the gamut from adultery to corruption allegations he denies to being impeached by Republican house before he was acquitted, largely along party lines. I mean, does that all sound familiar to you? It should. I mean, in so many ways, he’s kind of a mirror image of Trump himself. And I’m going to dig into. There’s so much more. I just really skimmed the surface there of Ken Paxton. There’s a lot more to say. I’m going to dig into all of Ken Paxton’s many misdeeds later on this hour, because that requires a bigger chunk of time.”
