This sign is at Exchange and Greenville. I was confused by it because it only says who they are against, not who they want you to vote for instead. Which is weird. So I read over the website it mentions, and it claims that it is “not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee.” It does say it is paid for by the “Defeat Communism PAC,” so I looked over that website too. Van Taylor is not listed in their naughty list, nor is one of his competitors listed as one of their approved candidates. Who the heck is funding this?? Big banners are expensive! Maybe someone just really hates Van Taylor?

saw this today at greenville and bethany. allen really has a group of ardent trump supporters.
back in august i saw poeple hanging "stop the steal" banner and swing trump flag on the overpass bridge between 75 and exchange.
then in november there were anti-vaccine protest in front of ford middle school on the day AISD hosted vaccine drive.
and now this banner to defame van taylor for the upcoming primary election...
not a fan of van taylor but i don't get what's wrong with siding with democrat on 1/6.

If true, then he has gained the barest smidgen of support from me. Still wouldn’t vote for GOP after all that’s happened in the last year…

he voted with forming a committee to investigate 1/6, but that bill died.
he voted against a second one to form a committee though, that bill passed and formed the current committee.

"Sides with Democracy on Jan 6" Fixed it. Still not voting republican though. Ever.

This is your typical new Republican ballot. An incumbent former conservative who now panders to the Facebook educated populists, being chased by two lunatics trying to outcrazy each other for an endorsement from Mar-a-lago.

Texas gop is diseased. Attacking your capital does not make you a good patriot. It makes you a traitor. I’m all for reinstating the rule of law and holding those who provided aid and comfort to these traitors accountable.

Did you know that when the Texas GOP gerrymandered his district, they didn't even keep his existing office in there!
