Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton spoke with Tucker Carlson in his first interview since his acquittal.
As The Gateway Pundit reported on Saturday, AG Paxton was acquitted of all sixteen articles of impeachment against him.
Tucker Carlson opened the exclusive interview by saying, “I’m fascinated by the fact that you were dropped in the first place. How did this happen?”
Paxton responded: “Let me first say, as you’re reading this, it’s very complicated, it’s crazy, I really believe it’s become very political.”
He continued, “I sit here because my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and I have been redeemed.”

Later in the interview, Paxton teased a possible run for the U.S. Senate.
The recently acquitted AG floated the idea of running for office after calling out Texas Republican U.S. Senator John Cornyn for being a “puppet of the Bush family.”
Paxton told Tucker, “Everything is on the table for me…I think it’s time for someone to stand up and run against this guy.”
