TEXANS FOR SENATOR JOHN CORNYN INC.

Ad copy

We’ve seen this movie before. Only the players change. Ken Paxton was impeached for helping a donor. Now a new audit raises the same questions again. Taxpayer-funded perks. Foreign business ties. Personal wealth skyrocketing. Different scandal. Same pattern. That’s not leadership. That’s corruption. See the full story: CrookedKen.com

Standout elementBlack-and-white video freeze frame of Paxton at official podium evoking criminal scandal imagery
TacticThe ad weaponizes pattern recognition — 'We've seen this movie before' — linking a new audit to Paxton's prior impeachment to make corruption feel like a character trait, not an isolated incident, while the dedicated attack URL 'CrookedKen.com' brands the narrative for sustained recall.
