Ron White Calls Texas AG Ken Paxton 'A Piece Of S**t' in Joe Rogan Appearance

Comedian Ron White sharply criticized Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate, on "The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast, calling him "a criminal" and "a piece of s**t."

White, known for his role in the "Blue Collar Comedy Tour," highlighted Paxton's past impeachment by the Texas House of Representatives. He noted that Paxton's own staff reported him to the FBI, leading to the whistleblowers being fired or pushed out. This situation resulted in a $6.6 million taxpayer-funded settlement, which drew criticism even from within Paxton's own party.

Paxton has faced multiple other controversies, including a felony indictment on fraud charges, a plea deal in a child sex abuse case, and allegations of theft.

Currently, most polls indicate Paxton trailing Democratic candidate James Talarico in the U.S. Senate race. White suggested that voters are tired of the current political landscape in Texas and are ready for a change. "They’ve been in control for 30 years. What have they given us? Let somebody else fucking drive," White said.
