The gloves are off as two of the top elected Texas Republicans trade insults over which wing of the party they support.

Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) says embattled Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is an "embarrassemnt" to Texas because of his on going legal troubles.


Paxton is under indictment for fraud...and has been awaiting trial for 7 years. He's also being investigated by the FBI for bribery.

Cornyn says as the state's top law enforcement official (Attorney General) it's a source of embarrasment that he has not resolved his legal problems.

Of Course Paxton shot back calling Cornyn a member of the, "Bush wing of the GOP."

Paxton supports the former President Donal Trump wing of the GOP.

Paxton is currently running for a third term as Texas Attorney General and is in a runoff election with Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush.

Early voting ends Friday, and election day is Tuesday May 24th.
