He wants to protect Texans from Twitter Bots, but not Texas children from murderous teens with assault rifles?

Would love for that fraud indictment to kick into gear.

I'd say that the estimate of accounts that follow those people are about 70% bot, so you don't need to investigate, Ken. Interesting hill that they're choosing to die on.

Oh? how many Texans are killed each year by Twitter bots?
None? I guess Paxton is doing a really good job then.

Any friggin' excuse to keep from actually doing his job. The man's and accessory to murder due to his purposeful inaction on gun laws.
