Paxton’s Uvalde Comments Resurface in Campaign Posts
Ken Paxton’s remarks after the 2022 Uvalde shooting have resurfaced. Coverage diverges over their presentation: condemnation, fuller-interview context, and whether a campaign post omitted mitigating remarks.
Lead article · FactCheck.org · CENTERPaxton's Uvalde Comment in Full ContextOutlets agree that remarks Paxton made after the 2022 Uvalde shooting have resurfaced, renewing attention to what he said about the deaths.
Left-leaning outlets cast the remarks as dismissive of the children and teachers killed. Center outlets place the excerpt against the fuller interview, including expressions of sympathy and faith; a separate report relays Karl Rove’s view that past allegations could hurt Paxton’s Senate campaign. Right-leaning outlets focus on whether a campaign post omitted Paxton’s statements that the shooting was senseless and faith offered comfort.
