Addressing the lies

Have you seen these AI deepfakes they’re making of me?

They put me in a lab coat to make it look like I’m some evil surgeon operating on kids. They put me in a Chinese Communist Party uniform. They made creepy AI videos of me literally rewriting the Bible…in crayon.

They don’t have any real attacks, so they’re firing up their data centers and making up fake ones.

But even the most advanced AI couldn’t come up with Ken Paxton’s scandals.

He let an admitted child predator back onto our streets after offering him one day in jail. He was reported to the FBI by his own staff. He was impeached by his own party. He became a multi-millionaire on a government salary and now owns 15 homes.

I don’t need to use deepfakes! The truth about Ken Paxton is bad enough.

That’s why billionaires are spending millions to bail him out.

These dark money super PACs are flooding the airwaves with lies about me. If you want to help us fight back and make sure Texans know the truth, please consider contributing to our efforts today.

What do you do when you can’t persuade? You lie.

What do you do when you won’t debate? You hide.

What do you do when you know you’re losing? You call in your billionaire backers and beg them to bail you out.

I know it’s easy to feel afraid. To see their dark money flowing in and feel like there’s nothing we can do. But where we could see reason to despair, I see reason to hope:

You should believe in our power, because they sure do.

You should believe we can make history, because they sure do.

And you should believe our movement can beat their money, because they sure do.

Big money is powerful — but it’s nothing compared to people power.

Please consider making a small contribution today — whatever amount you can afford — to own a piece of this movement. More than a million people have chipped in so far to defeat Ken Paxton and his billionaire backers. Winning this race requires all of us to play a role.
