I recognize this is not the point of the post, but an accused felon doesn’t really make sense, since a felon is someone who is formally tried and convicted of a felonious crime.
Not sure if you’re just arguing semantics here, but just for clarification in case you, or anyone else, is unsure why the other person might have said “accused felon”, it is because Paxton was indicted for felony securities fraud back in 2015. He has used his political office to delay the trial since then, and has yet to be tried. 8 years and counting since the indictment without a trial. Hence, “accused felon”.
That, by itself, should be cause to remove the Texas Lt. Gov from office. He’s literally committing sedition and violating his oath of office.
I’m sure Texas will get right on that, just as soon as they’ve removed accused felon Ken Paxton from office.

If violating the oath of office was a real way to have people fired, the vast majority of politicians and judges would be in prison right now.
Don’t tempt me with a good time
