Combative U.S. Rep. Chip Roy jumps into crowded race for Texas Attorney General

Combative extreme-right lawmaker U.S. Rep. Chip Roy is the latest Republican to jump into the crowded race to replace Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Roy — whose district spans parts of both Austin and San Antonio — revealed his plans Thursday in a typically over-the-top statement in which he pledged to use the AG's to punch back at "open-border politicians, radical leftists and faceless foreign corporations that threaten our sovereignty, safety and our way of life." "No more Soros-funded judges and DAs putting criminals on our streets," declared Roy, who chairs the far-right Freedom Caucus.
