A super PAC supporting Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is buying new ads in the Palm Beach media market, trying again to get President Donald Trump’s attention at Mar-a-Lago while his endorsement in the state’s Senate race remains unsettled.
The Lone Star Liberty PAC’s four-figure weekend spending Saturday and Sunday in West Palm Beach, is the second time the PAC has bought TV time specifically to get a message to Trump. Last week it condemned Paxton’s runoff opponent, Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, for voting to confirm law enforcement officials who went on to investigate Trump.
Its newest ad claims that Cornyn only endorsed Trump-backed legislation requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration because the incumbent was losing to Paxton in polls ahead of their May runoff. The spot will air on Fox News, Golf Channel, TBS, TNT, and TRU, with a specific buy on Fox News Sunday on broadcast — prime Trump viewing time.
“Senator Cornyn – this is not him,” Texas Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett says in the ad — a clip of a Democrat Trump has personally ridiculed to drive the point home.
