Texas AG Ken Paxton roasted on social media for bragging about 'undercover operation' against antifa [View all]

Social media users ridiculed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton after the grandstanding Republican fired off a press release Tuesday announcing that he’d launched an “undercover operation” to weed out “Leftist terror cells.”

In the release, the culture warrior AG bragged that he directed his staff to “utilize all applicable authorities” to infiltrate and dismantle antifa — a decentralized movement that aims to curb fascism — and other left-leaning organizations, which he claimed celebrate and aid in political violence.

“Corrupt ideologies like transgenderism and Antifa are a cancer on our culture and have unleashed deranged and drugged-up foot soldiers on the American people,” Paxton said in a statement. “The martyrdom of Charlie Kirk marks a turning point in America. There can be no compromise with those who want us dead.”
