'Repugnant political attack': Texas AG gets blistering takedown for taking aim at charity

Texas Attorney General and Donald Trump ally Ken Paxton came under attack Tuesday after an attempt to shut down shelters run by a Catholic charity were shot down in court.

Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-TX) hammered him after he tried to close a network of migrant shelters run by the Catholic charity Annunciation House, El Paso Matters reported.

Judge Francisco Dominguez knocked down Paxton's efforts to shut down the charity and went further, saying the state was harassing its employees and guests.

Paxton alleged that the group was operating a "stash house" and, as such, the Annunciation House must be shut down. He went on to accuse the group of "systemic criminal conduct" in a release.

My family is a perfect example. We have agnostics, atheists, Methodists, Baptists, weird Evangelicals, Pentecostals, Catholics and some Hebrew Roots thrown for good measure. We have ordained ministers and lay people, too.

I believe there are two questions the Fascists will ask:

Do you believe the name of God is Jehovah?
Do you believe we worship on the first day of the week because He is risen?

A no to either question and you will be declared apostate and whisked off to a reeducation camp.

And no I am not kidding.
