Michigan’s attorney general, Dana Nessel, is a Democrat; Texas’s AG, Ken Paxton, is a Republican.<\/p>\n

Nessel, though, also believes Paxton is something quite weird. She calls Texas’s top legal eagle a “walking hate crime” because Paxton decided to refer to Rachel Levine as a “man.” And why did the indicted Texas AG make that scurrilous reference? Because Levine is a transgender individual who now is a woman; Levine also happens to serve as an assistant secretary of Health and Human Services in the Biden administration and was named one of USA Today’s women of the year.<\/p>\n

Therein lies what I believe is an essential problem with too many Republican politicians of Paxton’s ilk. He hurls insults at individuals gratuitously.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen people ask me why I don\u2019t attend National Association of Attorneys General events anymore, it\u2019s this. Paxton is a walking hate crime,\u201d Nessel said.<\/p>\n

Michigan AG: ‘Paxton is a walking hate crime’ | TheHill<\/a><\/p>\n

Yes, Mme. Attorney General. Ken Paxton most certainly is a walking hate crime.<\/p>\n

He and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott have decided, for instance, that parents who seek to pursue “gender-affirming care” for their transgender children are committing “child abuse,” which is utter nonsense on its face. It’s also cruel and inhumane.<\/p>\n

For what it’s worth, I consider Ken Paxton to be an embarrassment to this state, even though he has been elected twice as AG — for reasons that escape me.<\/p>\n
