Ken Paxton defended his casual clothing after President Donald Trump criticized his suit, while praising Paxton’s record as Texas attorney general. Trump also made claims about Paxton’s Senate opponent, James Talarico, and his eating habits.
Texas Attorney General and Senate candidate Ken Paxton responded to Donald Trump’s comments about his clothing during a September 3 Fox News appearance. Paxton said Texas is casual in the summer and hot, adding that he was wearing a sports jacket and that “we’re all good.”
Trump criticized Paxton’s suit at a September 2 White House dinner but also called him “the best attorney general in the country, perhaps.” Trump additionally claimed that Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico eats meat and then gets sick; the article notes Trump had previously accused Talarico of being vegan, which Talarico denies.
